You let it go at one point, because life is too short for that nonsense. I insisted my kids remain in one place when eating, which helped a bit lol. I've said to people before, "People live here. It's not a fucking display home!" Those people include my in-laws, who in the past were prone to randomly wander in unannounced and do what I call a "peer and sneer." The old man especially was a terrible fuss pot. Fuck 'em! As long as the place is not actually a hygiene issue you're golden.
