A quick definition of guest:

A guest is someone who stays in a hotel or motel and pays for their stay. They can also be someone who stays at a friend's house without paying, called a "social guest." If a social guest gets hurt, they can't sue for negligence. A guest can also be someone who rides in a car without paying, but they may have the right to sue if they get hurt. A guest is someone who is welcomed and given hospitality.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A guest is a person who is entertained or to whom hospitality is extended.

In general, a guest is someone who pays to stay in a hotel, motel, or inn for a short time. For example, if you book a room in a hotel for a weekend, you are a guest of that hotel.

A guest can also be a person staying at someone else's residence without charge, called a "social guest." For instance, if you visit a friend and stay at their house for a few days, you are a social guest.

It's important to note that a non-paying guest is not owed the duty of being provided a safe boarding space, as is a paying customer. For example, if a social guest trips on a slippery rug, they have no right to sue for negligence, but a paying guest might.

Another type of guest is an "automobile" guest, which is someone who is a passenger without paying, as distinguished from a taxi fare, bus rider, or one who has paid a friend to drive. However, the so-called "guest statute" may give a non-paying passenger the right to sue. An automobile guest is somewhat (but not entirely) analogous to the "social guest" in a residence.

Examples:

  • A paying guest at a hotel
  • A social guest staying at a friend's house
  • An automobile guest riding in someone's car without paying

The examples illustrate the different types of guests and the situations in which they may be found. A paying guest is someone who has paid for a service, while a social guest is someone who is staying with someone else without paying. An automobile guest is someone who is riding in a car without paying, which is different from someone who has paid for a taxi or bus ride.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
