Gen Z thinks it's rude to stay at your friends' place😭 | Kelly Clarkson update + AI bubble

Okay, the first story that I have for you guys today is one of the most viral conversations right now is all about if it is rude to ask your friends if you can stay at their place.

I don't know if you guys have seen this, but it's been all over my For You page, my social media for the past couple of days.

So this conversation was started by a creator named Bridget who posted a video earlier this week saying that she thinks it's rude [laughs] to ask your friend if you can stay at their place when you're visiting their city.

I'm gonna say this on behalf of some people I know.

I didn't ask them.

They didn't ask me to say it, but I'm still gonna say it.

If you're traveling to a city, let's use Harry Styles' concert as an example.

Harry Styles has been in New York for, like, months, right? He's doing a residency.

If I have a friend that lives in New York and I'm traveling to New York and I say, "Hey, can I stay with you one night after my Harry concert?" If I just ask them that, that's rude.

That's rude to do.

It's rude to s- to ask them, um, "Hey, can I stay at your place?" If they've never offered it, and especially to not offer them anything back.

And if I go and I stay with them and I don't give them any money, I don't give them a nice host gift, I don't take them out to a nice lunch or dinner the next night or the day of, that's also rude.

If you cannot go, especially New York, it's always New York I hear people talking about this.

Your friend who lives in New York apartment is not your free hotel.

Get a hotel.

There's also lots of hostels in New York.

There's so many, like, safe, cheaper places to stay in New York.

And if you can't afford to stay in New York, then you either need to travel home that night or you can't afford to go to the concert period.

Especially with so many, like, Harry shows.

I know so many girls who get Airbnbs, who split hotel rooms.

Like, you can find an option Don't rely on your friend with a New York apartment as your place to stay.

I would say this video has largely sparked a lot of backlash.

I would say most people are against her stance.

It's definitely not as divided as, like, the iced coffee debate, for example.

Um, obviously there are some people understanding what she meant.
