it’s my place, I decide what can happen”
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Many people in Australia think like this about a place (their house):
I can do many things in this place as I want, other people can’t do the same.
If I don’t want something to happen in this place, other people can’t say something like this to me: ‘I want this to happen in this place.’
If someone says to me ‘I want this to happen in this place,’ I can say ‘I don’t want this to happen here.’”
"Please take your shoes off when you come in. I prefer bare feet inside."
"There's no smoking inside. Please smoke as far from the house as you can."
