This is an apocryphal story.
Having recently moved into a house in a new neighborhood, Mark and Karen were eager to meet their neighbors, so they decided to have a house-warming party.
All of their neighbors were invited. As the guests arrived, most commented on the way Mark and Karen had upgraded the lawn and landscaping, or how they had improved the look of the house with new paint. Inside, some neighbors complimented Karen's taste in decorating, such as how the pictures decorating their walls reflected the local environment.
Then, good old Bruce arrived. Before he even got in the door, he was criticizing the way Mark had mowed the lawn too short.
And the pictures everyone else loved? Cliched and out of date. Bruce handed Mark a list of local painters he should track down to replace them.
The couch in the living room was in the wrong place. He loudly told Karen it would be better for him, and the other guests, if she moved it to the other side of the room.
As the other guests drifted out of the house, Bruce remained to explain to Mark and Karen how important it was to make a good impression, so they should talk to him before planning another neighborhood party.
