People Share The Rudest Thing A Guest Has Done In Their Home

It should be a given when you are invited into another person’s home, whether you’re staying awhile or just there for the day, that you respect them and their wishes. That means not only respecting the stated rules, but having common courtesy, like flushing the toilet when you go number two, cleaning up after yourself, and not stealing their things. These things may seem obvious to most decent people, but you’d be surprised how many houseguests make themselves quite unwanted. It can even get to the point where the houseguest is politely asked to leave, or worse, kicked out forcefully, ruining the relationship (sometimes a familial tie) forever, or at least for a very long time.

The key when you’re a guest in someone’s home is to be aware of yourself, your behavior, and how it might be affecting those who’ve invited you in. There are cues, for instance, your host seems to be on a short fuse with you or is acting cold, that you may have overstayed your welcome. Whether you’re staying with a family member or a friend, make sure to keep in mind that you are imposing on someone else’s space, and you should be gracious about that at all times.

If they don’t have any reason to invite you back, likely they won’t. This is particularly true if you’ve outright wronged them in some way. These stories of horrendous houseguests are sometimes light and funny, but they also range to downright appalling. You might even find your jaw has dropped to the floor in disgust for how some guests have behaved in another person’s home.

100. They Stole My Videogames Before They Left 

“A friend of my dad lost his house, and we had a former B&B so we invited them to stay with us. We housed and fed them for weeks while they found another place.

For that, we got roaches, criticisms of our food (my dad was the executive chef at a freaking country club and was a really fine cook), but that wasn’t the worst for me, then in my late teens.

The day they left, I went to play my favorite game on PlayStation: Sled Storm. Couldn’t find it. Overturned freaking everything, but I couldn’t find it. In searching, I noticed something even worse. My SNES, all games, and half my N64 games were missing in addition to Sled Storm. They had stayed with us as a favor and stolen half my stuff that I had paid for with birthday money saved up over the years.” johokie

99. A Playdate Ended With Her Custom Dollhouse Totally Destroyed

“My grandpa was a carpenter and he made for me for Christmas when I was around 6/7 the most intricate and beautiful dollhouse imaginable.

It had electrical fittings with tiny chandeliers, it had furniture, it had fireplaces and doors, wallpaper, you name it.

My mum organized a play date at our house a few months into the new year. I remember watching in horror as the chandeliers were ripped from the ceilings, doors ripped off their hinges, etc. It wasn’t wear and tear, it was mindless. I ran crying to my mum and the other mum of my play date. The other mum laughed it off and said that’s why she won’t get expensive things for her daughter.

It absolutely broke my heart, and probably my grandpa’s too.

As such a careful and thoughtful child, I hope someone explained to him it wasn’t me that destroyed the dollhouse so quickly.

The older I get the more I realize what an awful thing that child did, and moreover how the parent handled it. I still think about it now. I hope I can restore it if I ever have children of my own.” UnrealDisco

98. She Hit On Her Married Coworker In Front Of His Wife

“Had a bunch of people over for a New Years event. One woman I used to work with was invited, we were pretty good friends at work and generally, she and my wife got along.

The whole night she sat there hitting on me and trying to put her hand on my knee. It was really weird. Not to mention she had recently gotten married, which made it extra awkward. I wrote it off as something weird until I talked to my wife the next couple days.
Turns out she had been talking to my wife a lot that night and kept trying to imply I had cheated or was going to cheat. Basically kept trying to wedge her way into our relationship in a really messed up way. Luckily my wife isn’t stupid and just ignored her nonsense all night.

So I cut ties with that person and luckily we don’t work together anymore. Ran into her a couple of times since then, been polite but also cold. Such a weird situation.” Ulf_Thunderkick
97. This Woman Destroyed An Expensive Knife With Her Ignorance

“My ex-wife’s sister used a $150 chef’s knife to try and crack open a coconut in my kitchen. She dented it all over and also bent the tip somehow. She then said it must be a cheap knife because her sister in Thailand cuts them open super easy with a cleaver. It’s one bright side of divorce that I never have to suffer her presence ever again.” multivac7223

96. Poop Into The Toilet, Not On Top Of It

“I was around 10 and a few of our neighbors were over swimming.

One of the girls, a year younger than me, went to the bathroom and I went right after. She had pooped all over the toilet seat and didn’t even try to clean it. It wasn’t just a little, it was everywhere and let me tell you that girl needed more fiber in her diet. Her mom ended up yelling at her and making her clean it up.” Christian_Baal
95. Don’t Forget To Clean Your Hair From The Tub When You Shave

“Let a neighbor lady come over with her two young daughters to use our shower because her husband hadn’t paid the water bill.

Went upstairs to the bathroom after they left, the bathtub was clogged with hair. All over…. the sides of the tub, bottom of the shower curtain, everywhere.” ChrissyStepfordwife

94. When You’re Sleeping In The Closet For Free, Have Some Respect At Least

“I shared a house with a few friends, and one of them let a broke friend crash in a large closet we had. A couple of days turned into weeks and then into months, and it all came to a head one day when I got home from working construction in the middle of winter. I was literally caked in mud and shivering and when I walked in the front door I could hear the shower running, and closet guy was sitting on the couch in a bathrobe.

I asked him who was in the shower as I was dripping mud on the floor and he replied: ‘Bobby. And I’m next.’

He was not next.” Garfield-1-23-23

93. Guests Flushing Maxi Pads Cost These Homeowners A Fortune

“Had some relatives over, and despite very, very clear instructions to not flush feminine products down the toilet, they did anyways. Destroyed our septic field, almost $10,000 in damages overall. When confronted, they just denied it, despite the fact that the 32 tampons that were pulled out of the system matched the brand that they had while they were over.” Flimflomzimzoom

92. Leave Your Outdated Beliefs At Your Own Home, Grandma

“My grandma visited from out of state for my high school graduation.

She stayed for 2 weeks past my graduation, threw a fit if I tried to sleep in past 9 am, and told my mom that she needed to work less so she could clean the house better.” PixelRapunzel
91. The Nightmare When An Ex-Husband Invites Himself To Stay Over

“Had my wife’s ex-husband turn up at the door to stay for 10 days.

We moved to Australia from UK -he came over, ostensibly to see his daughter, and arrived at the door with a suitcase. His 10-year-old daughter was ecstatic…What do you do? (We ASSUMED he’d get a hotel/motel/something!)

While living with us, HE broke a sandstone wedding present we had received from my brother.

That guy. We NEVER badmouthed him, just swallowed it all, with a sanguine smile.

At 21, daughter says, ‘Thanks for not telling me my dad is a jerk-I’ve discovered it for myself.'” barneyman

90. This Rude Guest Didn’t Save Enough Food For His Hosts

“One of my best mates came to spend the night, so my folks decided to splurge and get Chinese takeout for everyone. I come from a family of seven, so he made eight. We got 5-6 dishes and two big tubs of fried rice. My mate helped himself to the ENTIRE first tub of rice and, when confronted about it by me, helpfully pointed out that there was still another tub.” For the seven of us.” ChrisTheDog
89. A Bedwetter That Did Not Warn His Host He Ruined A Bed And A Couch

“I had 2 Australian kids staying at my house for a baseball tournament one time.

One of them was a chronic bed-wetter but never told us. He stayed for 5 nights and peed the bed each night without telling us. Instead, each night he pushed whatever he peed on to the end of the bed. The first night the sheets, second night the actual mattress protector to stop any pee from getting to it. (It was a bunk bed my brothers and I slept on as children) and lastly, he peed directly on the mattress for 3 nights. Ruined the mattress and we had no idea till he left. The real kicker though is when he took a nap on our new couch.

Peed all over it and then fled the scene and we assumed the dog had done it until we saw the bed that is…

I think that is something you should tell people who open their home to you so they can prepare. And please, don’t sleep on the couch if ya know ya got a problem. Also, not trying to shame anyone for this kinda stuff. I feel like its more common then most people realize and I honestly just feel bad for him. Just wish he could have been honest with us so we could have helped him out a bit.” Nbelcik7

88. Stealing Costly Prescription ***** From A Host Is Both Costly And Dangerous

“Stole some of my Multiple Sclerosis *****…they aren’t even fun *****, they’re very, very expensive…and I need that stuff to not have an MS attack.” firefly212

87. Drinking From The Milk Jug Isn’t A Cool “Houseguest” Thing To Do

“While sober: Drank directly out of my milk carton.

While not sober: Pissed on my standing bedroom fan.” ThunderingSacks

86. Be Kind And Don’t Invite Yourself To Others’ Vacations

“My parents were coming to visit from the opposite coast for the first time since I’d moved away, planning to stay in my guest room for the week. My aunt invited herself along at the last minute, guilting me into giving her my bedroom, leaving me on the couch. Then in the morning, she complained that my bedroom TV didn’t work properly (it didn’t have cable-was just set up with a chromecast).

I also had to change all the reservations I’d made for 3 to now be 4 and had to sell tickets to a performance I bought because it was sold out and I couldn’t get a 4th ticket for the aunt to join us.” wickedpixel1221

85. This Guy Not Only Left The Door Unlocked, He Also Left It Wide Open

“This one guy at a party bragged that he never got hangovers.

He then drank beer, vodka, champagne, and cheap sparkling wine while eating red vines. He threw up pink all over my carpet. The rude part was that after he slept on my couch, for the next 24 hours he left my front door open. When he left, I was at work. I came home to an open, not unlocked but open, front door.” IntentionalTexan

84. He Wanted A Kiss, But His Host Did Not

“A colleague was coming into town for a meeting. I invited him to stay with me so he didn’t have to stay with our boss. I specifically told him that the beer in the fridge wasn’t mine and asked him not to drink it.

Well not only did he drink all my roommate’s beer while I slept and refused to replace it, but he also trashed my apartment. All the cupboards left open, toilet unflushed, beer cans and cigarettes everywhere. Yeah, he smoked inside. The following day, he made me so uncomfortable in my own home by repeatedly telling me that he was disappointed that we didn’t kiss and that he thought that’s why I invited him to stay with me. He knows that I live in a work apartment and that we have a guest room specifically for company employees who travel to the city.” AnUnusuallyLargeLeaf
83. This Kid Was The Worst Foreign Exchange Student Imaginable

“When I was younger my family took in foreign exchange students.

It was usually a pretty fun experience and I got to learn a lot about other cultures.

We once had a student who was very shy and awkward around us, so, pretty much, the only time anyone would see him out of his room was when we were eating. After a couple of weeks of him staying with us, my dad found holes in the wall in our living room, which we later discovered he had been stabbing our walls and after he blamed me for it (I was 9). We asked that he doesn’t stay with us anymore and he left.

The only thing we had left to do was clean out his bedroom because there was another student coming. It turns out that he left us a present for us, underneath his sheets were hundreds of tissues covered in who knows what.

We were unable to follow up or let anyone know because for some reason he had a special coordinator set up and she refused to inform the parents of the student and the house he was going to be living in.” blitz-dropshot

82. The Dog Of The House Takes Precedence Over A Canine Guest

“Back when I was younger, around 12 or 13, I remember my parents had another couple over that they had known for a short period of time.

They brought their husky over to the house but we had a dog of our that simply didn’t get along well with other animals. This ‘friendly’ couple had the audacity to demand that we put our dog in his kennel so that their dog could come in. Needless to say, they didn’t stay for dinner that day nor did I ever see them again.” TheExile225
81. The Child Fish-Killer

“I was a kid probably, 9 or 10, and my mom had a friend and her son over for lunch. The kid disappeared for about 10 minutes, and at the time I thought he had gone to the bathroom cause I really had to go.

So, when he came back I quickly maneuvered my way past him into the room before the bathroom, where we had a fish tank. This would be completely irrelevant if the fish tank wasn’t cloudy and swirling about. At first glance, I didn’t know what it was until I noticed smashed and ripped apart pieces of little fish faces moving around in the swirl. The kid reached into the fish tank and squeezed the ever-loving life out of every single fish in that tank.” eta5minutes
80. These Cousins Are Just Like A Hurricane On This Family’s Home

“My horrible cousins were allowed to run wild.

I hated it when they came over. The younger one was around 11 and was just oblivious to all social expectations. He helped himself to the fridge and ate all the ice cream we had, then complained that it wasn’t any good, and just roamed around the house rummaging through our stuff.

His older brother, who is a year older than me and was 16 at the time, waltzed into my room and started messing with my guitars (which I was protective of because they’re really expensive) and would change the tuning, whack it around, etc.

Then he picked up my air rifle, which was powerful enough to kill at least a squirrel or rabbit, went outside, and started pointing it at my neighbor’s cows.

I’m very nonconfrontational and usually just put up with annoyances, but I tore into him for that. I was taught from the time I was a toddler that you don’t ever treat guns like toys, and you never point them at anything you don’t intend to shoot, whether it’s loaded or not. Especially living creatures.

Thankfully they weren’t closely related and I only saw them like 5 times in my life, but them being basically strangers to me made their behavior even more mind-boggling.” masonlandry

79. Ungracious Houseguests Expecting More From Their Hosts Than Anyone Would Ever Provide

“Some of my wife’s family came to visit.

The idea was that on their way to the Smokey Mountains they would stop and visit with us for a day or two since we seldom see each other and our house is on the way. Turns out that was a total lie, they just wanted to use our house as a free hotel. Which, to a degree, is fine. I don’t mind lending a room to a family member.

But they were not even remotely cool about it. First, they called and asked if we could have something for them to eat because it would be late when they arrived and had no time to stop.

So I decided I would make a lasagna since I’m kind of known for that in the family. I spent like $60 and several hours to make two big pans of lasagna since it would have to feed several people. They showed up with takeout bags and said they had already eaten.

Then they went immediately to their rooms upstairs, not to sleep but to watch TV (TV is in the bedroom) without hardly saying a thing to us besides ‘hi, hows’ it going?’

Then, in the middle of the night, one of them got cold and turned the thermostat up to like 77 degrees which means the heater ran non-stop for hours and hours and we woke up in a sweat.

When they woke up they asked if I normally cook breakfast. I said no, not on weekdays because I have to go to work. They gave dejected looks so I was like, fine, I can make breakfast. Would you guys like waffles or eggs and bacon? They said eggs so I made a ton of eggs and bacon and left it for them because I had to go to work.

When I got home they hadn’t even touched the food I made, the kitchen was an absolute disaster because they decided they wanted waffles instead and helped themselves, without even asking, dirtying every dish in the house and ruining my waffle iron because they left it on until it auto shut off but by then had burned the batter until it was fused to the thing and the whole house reeked of burnt waffles for two days.

They also clearly scratched my wife’s car as they left because it was in the driveway and coincidentally had a huge scratch where maroon paint had rubbed off. And, guess what color their van was. I asked them about it and they said they had no idea how it got there.” moby323

78. Some Serious Lego Heartbreak Occurred Here

“My son (from the age of 5-12 years old) had built every Star Wars LEGO ship together, minus the falcon which was to be our next set to build. We even had our own LEGO lingo. He’d say, mom, I need a twoer by fourer or a oner…so on.

This was our thing to do, as he has a twin sister so it was important that I spend quality time with each of them, doing things they each loved to do.

I had invited a friend over who brought her son (we will call him master destroyer, MD). MD is known to be a trouble maker, his father passed away and mommy lets him get away with whatever he wants or does. He was upstairs playing legos with our son while I visited with the mom (my mistake) when next thing I know, my son comes down visibly upset, only for us to find out that MD had picked up every single LEGO Star Wars set we had ever built together and smashed them on the ground.

Friend made MD apologize and they left right after.
Our son never touched a LEGO again after that. It wasn’t just the destruction of the legos, but this kid (MD) ruined ‘our thing’ that brought my son and me together. I still talk to the friend but have kindly told her that her son isn’t welcomed over, even though it’s been almost 5 years since this occurred, his behavior hasn’t changed nor has the discipline the mom lacks. I refuse to let him take anything else away from my son that he holds dear. I have set the legos aside, along with all of the instructions, in hope that one day when he is a father, he will crack open the tubs of legos and have a connection with his kid(s) as we once had.” jitterbug15
77. Ridiculous In-Laws Really Know How To Get Out Of Line And Seriously Overstay Their Welcome

“We live in North Carolina and get hit with a lot of hurricanes.

One hurricane, my sister-in-law’s place got messed up and we let her stay with us for a little while. After about 2 weeks, she started taking ADD medication amongst a slew of other meds and was getting really messed up on it. She started locking herself in the bathroom and sleeping on the toilet, leaving the door open and falling asleep while smoking outside, and passing out on the floor in random places and leaving pills scattered all over the floor. Not to mention we have two small kids who were running around. When we asked her to stop taking the pills she freaked and told us she was going to claim residency at our place and that my wife was only with me because I had money.

I told her I was done and it wasn’t safe for our kids, she had to go. She ended up saying my wife was dead to her unless she takes the kids and leaves me. Needless to say, my wife chose to stay and now we don’t have to deal with her sister’s problems anymore because we are dead to her.” Darroe09
76. He Kicked Her Cat Because He “Hates Cats” 

“My ‘friend’ entered my home, and my very typically shy cat came up to see what was what and greet him. He said, ‘I hate cats’ and kicked her. He did not punt her across the room, but it was a kick with some lift-off.

Not a light nudge. He knew I had a cat. We were in our 20’s.

She’s fine now, she was fine then too. It wasn’t hard enough to hurt her permanently. Perhaps emotionally, the poor sweet kitty. It shocked both her and me. I’m my cat’s protector and advocate, but I hate to say that back then I had a lot of confidence issues and I was taken WAY aback by his swift action. Caught me off guard. I think I yelled, ‘What do you think you are doing?! Don’t kick my cat’ but I can’t remember anything I did that was remarkable afterward, other than the decision to stop inviting him over.” mariahpariah

75. A Drunk Guest Destroys A 10-Hour Risk Game

“Had three other housemates at the time.

We all rented a small apartment on the beach from a friend. We played Risk (the board game) regularly and we were in easily a 10+ hour game that was going on for a few weeks. Super intense. The board is safely in the corner on the dining room table. NO activity on the table is allowed when a board is on there.

Well, one of our housemates came back with her friend after the bars and let’s just say her friend is annoying when she is inebriated and she doesn’t know her limit (at 30) until she passes out. It was a weeknight.

All of us had work the next morning.

Being a small place, the boisterous girls woke us up. Not a big deal. But then we here ‘what’s this over here?’ and we just hear a hand swiping a game board with game pieces falling everywhere. This girl just ruined our game in one full swoop. The three of us that were home rush out of our respective rooms and see the nuclear holocaust that was our world…we flip out. Even our mate who brought her was not happy.

She basically tried to play dumb, then says what’s the big deal. We all gave her a blanket, told her we are all going to bed and to get right out by tomorrow morning.

Unacceptable.

Then she puked in our toilet, didn’t clean up after herself, broke our shower curtain rod (how???), and she left food out that went bad by next morning.” NJneer12

74. A Woman Who Refused To Clean Up Her Dog’s Mess On The Carpet

“When I was much younger, my mom’s aunt came and visited and brought her dog. We didn’t see her too much, but she was close with my mom back when Mom was a kid. During the visit, the dog dropped a loaf on the living room carpet. Not a big deal you would think, but my mom had the audacity to ask her to clean up after her own dog.

Apparently, this was a degree of rudeness my aunt had never experienced before from a ‘host.’ The offense was so deep that she never spoke to my mother for. The. Rest. Of. Her. Life.” Vulpinand
73. The Guy Who Pees In A Cup Instead Of The Toilet

“I once had a ‘roommate’ move in on a Sunday or Monday, said he’d pay for the room on Friday. Seemed reasonable enough-what is he going to do, refuse to pay? He was renting theoretically for the rest of the summer (like 2-3 months), so that seemed unlikely. He seemed like kindof a shy, weird guy, but didn’t seem too bad.

This was probably like, 10-15 years ago when I was in college.

Doesn’t leave the room AT ALL as far as I or anyone else can tell. We even had a small gathering of people and invited him to join us. No dice.

Friday comes along and he rushes out of the house and into a car (I think with his mother?).  Never heard from him again.

We go into the room, and we found a cup in the closet that he had peed in.

I will never forget you, pees in cups guy. I don’t remember your name, I barely remember what you look like, but I’ll always remember you peed in a cup, and left it in the freaking closet.” WillBackUpWithSource

72. Complaining At A Dinner Party About The Food Is Pretty Lame

“My roommate and I used to make dinner for friends every Monday.

Everyone knew and I never spread the word, a bunch of random people would just show up each week. One guy never missed it even though I didn’t actually know him that well, just tangentially through co-workers, and didn’t really like him much, to be honest. One night he got there very late and helped himself to the food which was pasta that night, cooked al dente. As soon as he tried it, he started complaining: ‘This is the most under-cooked pasta I’ve ever had, it tastes terrible, someone needs to show you how to cook pasta’ etc. I just took it without saying anything, thinking to myself ‘Sorry it’s not my fault your mom has overcooked your macaroni your entire life.’ But after that, my motivation for doing the weekly dinners died, and I stopped.

Personally, I would never ever say anything bad about someone’s cooking as a guest at their house even if it was terrible.” coolcrowe
71. She Threw Water At Me Because My Wife Was Pregnant And My Cat Pooped

“Had a couple over for dinner. Friends of ours. My wife was pregnant at the time.

Cat pooped in the litter box in the basement. Buddy’s wife told me to change the litter saying it was due to my wife being pregnant. I said I would after the board game we were playing was over as nobody could smell it.

She said: ‘BUT YOUR WIFE IS PREGNANT!’

I said: ‘So?’

She proceeds to empty her water cup across the table in my direction.

It literally went over my shoulder and completely missed me. I’m stunned briefly at how unbelievably rude she is. Then begin to laugh my butt off that she missed me with a full cup of water point blank. I end the game, tell them to go home.

She says, ‘We should do it again sometime.’

No, you rude woman. I put up with you because your husband is my good friend.

Wife and I close the door behind them after they leave, look into each other’s eyes in silence for a few moments then laugh our butts off again at what just happened.” SonicBroom51

70. Uncle Tries To Fix Unbroken Things And Leaves Them Broken

“Uncle tried to fix our computer.

(It wasn’t broken.) He then broke it. Did the same to our perfectly working dishwasher. Then he denied everything.” Not_A_Cop999

 69. Thief Steals Holographic Hockey Cards And Gets Caught

“Happened to me in the 3rd grade, my mom’s friend’s son stole my holographic hockey cards. I didn’t even notice until the next day when I saw him on the bus showing the cards he stole from me to his friends.” EXOQ
68. Her Sister Was Quite Possibly The Worst Housesitter Ever

“My little sister (23 at the time) house and dog sat my 3 dogs for a month while my husband and I went to Europe (one of these dogs happens to be an 8 wk old puppy of hers that we adopted because she couldn’t keep him after a recent break up and move).

Everything seemed to be going just fine via the FaceTime calls and almost daily texts. But it was a whole other story when we got home. There was dog piss and poop everywhere! Under the kitchen table all over inside and the entire surrounding area by the puppies kennel. She apparently ran out of puppy pads and instead started using our ******* bath towels to line the kennel. Instead of washing the towels she threw them in a pile in the back yard. When she ran out of towels, she moved onto my husband’s shirts that were in the laundry.

She also had some guy stay with her, who she allowed to smoke cigarettes in our house, including our bedroom.

At one point she accidentally locked herself out, climbed through a window and broke a lamp in the process. She also broke our vacuum in her pathetic attempt to clean up before we came home.

While all of this was happening, a pipe apparently broke underground in the backyard, on day 4 of our trip. It was raining heavily so it was hard to tell; especially if you completely ignored the sound of full blast running water as well as the notice that was put on our door by the city to contact them urgently. Sister took the notice, set it on the table, and never mentioned it.

We came home to an $1800 water bill on top of everything else. It was an utter DISASTER to come home to after a month of traveling and a full day of flying. We were freaking FURIOUS.

We made her pay to replace all of our towels, have the carpets cleaned, and she paid for the puppies food and pet insurance for a year. I didn’t talk to her for quite a while after that.” moxie422

67. Cousin Stole The Change From The Piggy Bank

“My wife’s cousin was staying at our house because he as going through marital problems. One night I woke up in the middle of the night and I heard some change rattling.

He walks down the hall with my 5-year-old’s piggy bank. He was taking money from my daughter’s freaking piggy bank to buy beer and smokes.” bobdigi36

66. Swallowing A Pet Goldfish Did Not Impress Anyone

“Back in college, my roommates and I hosted a birthday party for a mutual friend at our apartment. Earlier that day we gifted her a pet goldfish because she had been talking about getting a fish.

Fast forward to later in the night. Our male friend, let’s call him Mike, decided he needed to find a way to impress our other friend, who I’ll call Darla. Mike tries every lame joke and pick up line on Darla and fails time and time again.

Then he sees the goldfish in his tank and scoops him up in his hand. He says, ‘Check this out, Darla!’ He then plops the fish into his mouth and swallows it alive. My roommate and I immediately rush over and start trying to make Mike puke the fish back up. Darla quickly makes for the door and leaves the party.

Sadly, that fish met its doom in Mike’s stomach that night. He never apologized, although he did complain about severe stomach issues for several days afterward.” CaitieGonzo

65. Eat The Popcorn Instead Of Making A Mess With It

“When I was in 2nd grade, I invited this girl over and we made popcorn as a snack, and not even 5 minutes later, this girl decided it’s a good idea to run all over my house throwing it everywhere.

This goes on for 5 minutes while I chase her down. But, the damage is done. The popcorn is in between couch cushions, under the fridge, under my bed, in my laundry basket, all over the floor. My mom ends up sitting us down and proceeds to lay it out on her, telling her that what she did was disrespectful and to help clean up. She pouted and said no, saying since it wasn’t her house she didn’t have to clean it. She continued to pout as my mom called her mom and pretty much told her to leave and to not expect to be invited back anytime soon.

I haven’t spoken to her in a while, but apparently, she got banned from the mall for trashing a store with her friend, throwing food, dumping out products, and smashing bath bombs…so I guess she hasn’t changed much.” theonionenthusiast

64. This Landlady Was Breaking The Law By Entering Without Permission

“Not ‘my’ home but I was renting a house and the landlady kept turning up unannounced and would let herself in, and would give the key to people doing work on the house without telling us so we’d, without warning, have strangers let themselves into the house. It was a very stressful way to live.” deleted

63. She Was A Huge Pain By Unplugging Electronics Around The House

“Constantly unplugging electronics.

First, it was the thermostat (she didn’t like the sound the water heater made) then the wifi (the CIA was snooping on her) and finally my fridge (she was saving the environment).” cartman_bane

62. Making Fun Of The Dishes Will Not Earn You Brownie Points With Your Hosts

“One night, the girls who lived in the apartment across the hall brought a friend with them to hang with us. As soon as she walked in she screamed, ‘this will be hilarious. College guys always get the horrible, hand-me-down dishes from their parents!’ She walked into the kitchen and began pulling out pans and dishes and howling about how old and ratty they were.

Our friends were mortified. When they tried to talk to her, she talked louder. After 30 seconds of this lunacy, my roommate and I told her to leave. She threw a giant fit and called us jerks.” OldAustinRunningDude

61. If You Aren’t Going To Eat The Dinner, Don’t Come To The Dinner Party

“My mom made a huge dinner for my aunt and cousins. They showed up two hours late, told my mom ‘oh, sorry the boys can’t eat that much right now’ and just went in our fridge and made them sandwiches instead.” Cthulu_1234

60. A Poop And Run Situation Happened One Night In This House

“Once, a friend was sleeping on my boyfriend’s couch after a night of drinking.

We woke up the next morning, and the only bathroom was locked from the inside-no answer. I was scared he was dead. After quite some time, we were able to jimmy something that could unlock the door, only to find the bathroom empty and no friend. He had filled up the little bathroom trashcan with diarrhea and fled in the night.” hyperorbit

59. Showering In A Stranger’s House Without Asking Is More Than A Little Weird

“One time I was chilling with my roommates, and a mutual friend of ours dropped by to try out the new-at-the-time Virtual Reality system. He asks us if it’s cool to bring another dude with him, so we say sure, the more the merrier.

Flash forward to mid-gaming session and the group of us are generally having a good time. Friend-of-a-friend-guy (I never learned his name) asks where the bathroom is. Nothing unusual to see here, of course.

But, when he got to the bathroom, we could all hear him take a shower, In a total stranger’s house, without mentioning it. The guy must have been a raisin by the time he finished cause he was in there for what seemed like an eternity.

Anyways, he finally emerges, and he obviously didn’t bring a towel with him or anything, and me and my roommates usually keep that *sort *of *** in our bedrooms as the bathroom ain’t all that big on shelving space.

There is a little hand towel but not enough to dry yourself. He was absolutely dripping wet and had simply donned his clothes over his soaked body. He acted as though nothing had happened, and the rest of us just kinda gave each other meaningful looks and pretended nothing had happened because we are too British to actually raise the awkward point.” WattYouSayin

58. Do Not Sleep Naked Crashing On Your Friend’s Couch

“My old roommate needed a place to crash as he’d gotten kicked out of his NEW apartment that I helped him get as a reference. My wife and I are both very good friends with him.

I had already left for work and he was asleep on the couch downstairs. My wife comes down about an hour later and startles him…he’s asleep NAKED on our couch. He gets up, realized he’s naked, and then grabs the blanket to cover up.

We had a talk…where my wife and I both explained that you can’t sleep naked on your friend’s couch…where he tried to tell us that we were being ridiculous… because…the sheet was a good enough barrier to keep his naked body from touching the couch.

Then 2 weeks after he leaves…my wife starts noticing bites on her legs. Bedbugs.

He gave us freaking bedbugs it took us MONTHS to get rid of. My wife cried almost daily there for a little while; she was so stressed. We ended up getting all new living room furniture because of it.

Now, we love the guy. He’s dopey at times…and we knew that going in. We just didn’t realize how painful of a situation this would have caused. That said, he paid the exterminators fees over the course of 6 months..and he genuinely felt horrible. So he’s not a bad guy…just dumb sometimes.” throwawayjobfull

57. Leave The Kitchen Arranged The Way It Is

“Girlfriend of a roommate stayed the night frequently so maybe she started feeling like it was her place too, bless her heart.

I have a lot of kitchen equipment and I do not mind sharing as long as people clean it and keep it nice, so almost everything in the kitchen was mine.

Anyway, this girl took it upon herself to rearrange things in my kitchen, including my stuff. I couldn’t find anything in my own darn kitchen! I told her to move it all back exactly like it was before she messed it up or her boyfriend would have to buy all his own kitchen stuff.” iputthehoinhomo

56. Mother-In-Law Should Not Be Replacing Things Without Asking

“It was my mother-in-law who came to visit my then-boyfriend and I.

We were in a rental that had a weird little bathroom that the rest of the house-made up for. But I got up in the morning and went to the gym and grabbed some food to make dinner. When I got home, I went to shower and she has taken down the bathroom mirror (which came with the rental!!!) and put up a new one that was really ugly and too small. I wrapped myself in a towel and switched it back. She asked me why I did that and I told her it wasn’t my mirror and give her the other one back.” fueledbychelsea

55. This Man Did Not Have His Daughter’s Safety In Mind When He Left Her With The Neighbors

“My new neighbor moved into his house on the same day as my youngest daughter’s birthday party.

He had a young kid (around 6 or 7) close to the age of my nieces, so I invited him and his family over.

After they’re in the house for around 10 minutes, I notice he’s no longer there, but his daughter is still eating pizza at my table. I looked all over the house and couldn’t find him. I walked down to his house and knocked on the doors. Nobody answered and his car was gone.

Nearly 4 hours later, the last of the guests had left, it was around 9:30 PM and he still was nowhere to be found. He finally came back at 10:00 PM (walked right in without knocking) and acted like nothing was wrong.

I pulled him outside and told him that it is not okay to leave a small child with complete strangers, certainly not for that long, and not without letting someone know. His excuse? We seemed like decent people and he needed to pick up a few more boxes from their old house.” NotThatEasily

54. She Stole The Code To The Lockbox Of The House Just To Use The Bathroom

“Friend must’ve seen me once put in the code for my spare key lockbox, and I came home to her IN my freaking house (mind you, we’re not close). Her excuse? She had to go to the toilet.

Safe to say, I reset the code and didn’t invite her over anymore. Weirded me out.” lingoliv

52. She Didn’t Have Manners, Clearly, As She Did Not Clean Up Her Own Puke

“So we had our wedding in my in-law’s home to save on money. Needless to say, there was a lot of drinking going on during the after party and one of my wife’s bridesmaids got just very inebriated. Long story short, we found her bridesmaid’s dress covered in puke in our shower as well as puke on the main staircase.

Two of my groomsmen got it cleaned up before my mother-in-law even noticed though.” Babakins

51. Hired Help Lets The Cats Out Of The House Without Permission

“He wasn’t really a guest, per se, but when I was 12, my parents were remodeling our home using a one-man construction company. We had two indoor-only cats (one was mine, the other was my brother’s), and the contractor didn’t approve of this. He thought cats should only be outside, so he left doors open all the time, and wouldn’t bother to try to keep them inside while working. I came home from school one day and couldn’t find the cat that was mine.

After searching the house, my dad and I went door-to-door in our neighborhood with her picture. One of our neighbors had found her-hit by a car and dead-and had taken her to the dump with his household trash. At least I have the closure of knowing what happened to her, though.” fearthainne

49. He Not Only Overstayed His Welcome, He Also Hogged The Family Computer

“Mom’s best friend had to move across the country.

Her husband had to stay behind for a couple of weeks for work-related reasons. My parents offered to let him stay at our house.

Three or so months later he had not left despite my parents asking him politely several times, and his wife very angrily telling him to leave several times. He had no excuse not to go other than he didn’t want to do the drive. He had stopped working months prior and was just sitting on our family computer all day and hogging it at night (mid-90s).

My mom finally lost it and put all his stuff outside and locked the door when he left to go to the store.

He left that night. My mom and her best friend have essentially just ignored her husband’s existence for 20-something years.” fresbro

48. He Came Uninvited To His Girlfriend’s Mom’s Birthday Party And Then Acted Rude

“Years ago, my then boyfriend (now ex) came over to my house unexpectedly the day of my mom’s birthday. My siblings and I were busy decorating. He made himself comfortable on the couch and played on the Xbox, he was out of the way so I ignored him. Just before she gets home, I make him turn off the console. Mom gets home and we do the whole ‘Surprise!’ bit.

Ex immediately (like, my mom hadn’t even gotten past the entryway) grabbed the controller, turned the Xbox on, slapped my butt and told me to ‘get him a drink’ as he sat back down on the couch. I snatched the controller out of his hands and told him to go home.” PrettyBird2011
47. Family Visits Daughter After Her Accident But Doesn’t Help Her At All

“I was hit by a car when bicycling to work one day. I ruptured a kidney, broke my jaw and six teeth, and was in general pretty banged up. My boyfriend at the time was overwhelmed by it and he called my family for support (without me knowing, otherwise I would have told him not to).

I hadn’t spoken to them in about five years at this point.

They drove 10 hours to our apartment. My bf and I had arranged a suite of rooms at the beautiful hotel literally around the corner from us but they said it would be better if the FIVE of them slept in our one bedroom apartment with us. Fine.

I’m pretty out of it from medication, etc. They had never been to my city before so they insisted I show them around. I got them behind the scenes passes to tour Pixar studios and tried to show them around as much as possible despite the fact I could barely move or walk from the pain in my kidney.

After a few days, I told them I couldn’t keep going places with them. They said I was ruining their vacation. I responded that I didn’t know it was a vacation, I thought they came to visit me because they were concerned about my near-death accident. My mother laughed at that. I told them all to get out of my apartment. On the way out, my sister stole all my pain meds. I didn’t realize it until several hours later when they were long gone and I couldn’t find them to take my next dose. I had to go back to the ER and the staff didn’t want to give me more meds because they thought I was doing something illegal.

I had to recover from serious injuries without help.” witch_and_famous

46. She Said The Wrong Thing: “It’s Tidy In Here For A Change”

“A now EX girlfriend came into my parents home for only the second time and said to my mother: ‘Wow, it’s tidy in here for a change, haha.’ I could see in my mother’s eyes the thought process of how to slap her to the next century without making a scene, but thankfully she laughed it off. However, that was a big red flag for me and my ex.” OrionsReddit

45. He Messed Up His One Job Of Taking Care Of The Bird

“Under the guise of him doing me a favour, I had one old ‘friend’ house sit for me when I was out of town on a job.

I returned to a swimming pool full of floating newspapers, drifting garbage throughout the house. Overfull ashtrays were everywhere, stinking up the house, even in my bedroom. Worst of all was that he had ONE job and that was to take care of my parrot. I had a blue macaw. I found out that the stupid guy had let my parrot fall in the pool and my poor bird nearly drowned. I screamed at him, (the friend), and he told me that I was being ‘very uncool’.” Poullafouca

44. A Mom That Is A Burden On Her Own Child As Well As Her Guardian

“Context: I’m 16 (not able to move out yet, obviously) and live at home with my grandma, have done for years.

My father is absentee, and my mother has mental issues, hence why I don’t live with either of my parents.

My mother comes over AT LEAST every second day just to eat our food and use our wifi, electricity, and TV. She will randomly come over unannounced and just sit on her phone for HOURS, then leave without a word, eating half our fridge in-between. She has had the audacity to command television rights and complain about what I wanted to watch when I’d gotten home from school. She has complained about the food in our fridge and pantry, fully knowing that it is a lower income household.” deleted

43. A Thoughtful Disney-Themed Birthday Party Ends In Tears

“I prepared a Disney-themed surprise party for a good friend of mine in my apartment.

Every corner had a different Disney theme. I made almost all the decorations by hand and the result was truly amazing. I spent around 3 days decorating my whole apartment and preparing her favorite foods. It wasn’t supposed to be a party with a lot of people but I invited our close friends and asked them to come without having dinner first. Some vegetarian friends who were coming mentioned that they were bringing a friend of theirs who was vegan so I made a big buffet including the birthday girl’s favorite foods, a few vegan dishes, a big pitcher of fresh mocktail to share, everyone’s favorite snacks including a few vegan snacks on the side…Think the big picture: a baked Brie, nice homemade hummus, cut-up fresh veggies, vegan dips made with veganaise, vegan macaroni salad, nachos, French bread, hot spinach dip, bacon poppers, a spinach Asian salad, a huge pecan cake Frozen-themed, vegan marshmallows dipped in vegan chocolate, popcorn caramel cake pops.

That didn’t even include the snacks I bought since these were all homemade.

Anyway, my friends get to my place and they are late but it’s not a big deal. The birthday girl is truly surprised. It looks magical and the food looks amazing. I invite people to start digging in right away, and no one grabs a plate except me and my boyfriend. Turns out they went out to dinner right before coming here when I specifically asked them not to. I mention that I made a lot of vegan dishes since I knew their vegan friend, who I never even met, was coming…yet she doesn’t thank me or attempt to eat anything.

She says: ‘Nah, I’m good I ate before coming here!’ The birthday girl eventually gets some stuff but mostly the snacks I bought. I tried to camouflage my tears by inciting people to play games. We played for an hour and a half until my friend said she was tired and wanted to go home. Other people just followed behind her.

3 days of decorating and cooking. Tons of money worth of food and snacks. All of this for a maximum of two hours. When they left, I cried so hard and my boyfriend was livid. He couldn’t believe how ungrateful my friends were.

I used to be very generous to my friends but ever since that happened, I’ve stopped making parties, dinners, and gifts. It really broke my heart and my view on our friendships has never been the same since then.” PoutineMaker

42. Neat Freaks Will Notice If You Move Their Stuff

“About three years ago, I was living with my grandmother in what passes for a nice apartment around here. She was good buddies with all the maintenance men, including one of whom that got a bit too familiar. She joked to him about what a bonus neat freak I am, and how I’d notice if someone moved my stuff even a little (accurate).

A few days later, I came home to find stuff on my dresser and desk out of place. I mentioned it the next time I saw him, and he cheerfully admitted to moving my stuff to see whether I’d really notice. That means that he came in with a master key while no one was home, went into my bedroom, and did god knows what.

Now I live in a middling apartment in a scary part of town, and honestly, I prefer it.” steel_jasminum

41. If You’re Mean To My Dog, You Will Get Kicked Out Immediately

“A former friend yelled at my pomeranian puppy so loudly and angrily that she went potty on the floor out of fear.

She yipped a lot but only because at that time she was a 7-month-old ball of fluff that wanted attention. I told her the puppy was just playing around, doesn’t bite, and that she didn’t need to yell. She knew I had a puppy beforehand, and her family bread Bassett Hounds. After I finished cleaning up the mess, she asks to use the bathroom. On the way there, she kicks over the dog’s food and water dishes. On purpose. She mumbles under her breath that Hannah, the puppy, was a ‘dirty rat.’ I clean up that mess and while she’s on the commode, I called her dad and told him that she wasn’t my friend anymore and that he needs to pick up his daughter within an hour.

The friendship was promptly terminated.” LavenderCrane
40. You Can’t Just Walk In Like You Own The Place If You Don’t Own The Place

“My in-laws always just walk right in like they own the place. Drives me nuts.

A couple of years ago I put some vinyl window tinting on the front door to keep the house cooler in the summer. I could see out the window but no one could see in. I’d lock the door and enjoy the looks of confusion on their faces as they tried to open the door and couldn’t.” NSHermit

39. She Almost Burned The House Down Then Complained About The Smoky Smell

“We came home to something in my house burning due to my houseguest.

We put it out (with no help from her) and she spent the next two days complaining constantly about how my house smelled like smoke and she didn’t like it. Girl, go home then, my house could have burned down!” Vixenstein
38. If You Hate Women, Don’t Go Into A Woman’s Home

“I own my home and my boyfriend lives with me. He invited two of his friends over to play board games one day. The one friend decided to come for my throat in the board game and when I outplayed him and blocked him from winning he decided to get me back by being obnoxious.

I asked him repeatedly to tone it back. He started talking nasty about women and how worthless they are (mind you I was the only one of the four of us who owned a home) and showing sexist YouTube videos to the other friend along with making crazy loud noises and generally saying dumb things. This went on for eight hours. After he left, he texted my boyfriend trying to say they couldn’t hang out anymore because he couldn’t respect someone who was with me and he would never be able to handle being in the same room as me and if they were going to be friends and hang out, I couldn’t be there.” amaurra

37. It’s Not A Good Idea To Throw Out Someone’s Things Without Asking

“I went to China and Japan for a month.

My mother and her housekeeper cleaned my house from top to bottom, threw out everything in my pantry to restock it with the things she liked to cook with, rearranged every room and redecorated it to how she liked it. Oh, and she went through my clothes and threw out all of my old t-shirts, you know, the kind people save for sentimental reasons Well, the joke is on her a little bit. She found a $15 scarf painted with a scene from the Ramayana. She spent $800 having it framed. She still tells this story thinking it makes her look good but everyone looks horrified and she doesn’t see that.

I changed my locks before the jet lag wore off. It’s been 15 years and my mother does not have an emergency key to my home. But my husband’s mom does!” rbaltimore

36. He Ate Their Mac And Cheese, And They Were Pissed

“My wife and I were broke, but we’d gotten lucky. Kraft had just changed the box on their mac’n cheese, and the store nearby was selling all the old boxes for 10 cents each. So we bought 20 bucks worth, cause well, that’s sides that aren’t ramen for meals for like, 2 months or more!

So we throw a potluck firepit party, and this guy we barely know comes into the house, sees all the mac’n cheese on the shelf, and just makes himself two boxes and eats the entire thing in one sitting.

Never mind that he and the friend of ours who brought him, showed up an hour early, so the grilled chicken legs we were contributing weren’t ready, and apparently, the hot dogs they brought weren’t good enough.

Now, normally, this wouldn’t be an issue, but at the time, we were making a box last two meals on average cause we were spending like 20 bucks total for two people per week for food. It was all we could afford. The chicken legs were, at the time, a fairly expensive thing, I think we spent like 15 bucks on a huge bag of em from Costco, but ya know, balanced with the potluck, and the fact that whoever hosted these in our friends circle kept the leftovers (and we all made sure there was plenty, so there were ALWAYS leftovers) it was a good deal.

Needless to say, he was no longer welcome at our house, and was asked to leave pretty much as soon as we saw him with the mac’n cheese.” LordMindParadox

35. A Pastor Pulls The Chair Out From Under Him, And He Falls

“When I was a kid, about ten or eleven, the minister/pastor came to visit (while I was at school) and sat in our wooden rocking chair. When I got home he got up and offered me the rocking chair. I thought it was weird but ok, so I dropped into the chair…and he pulled it out from under me and I hit the floor hard.

On my tail bone. I cried, and it was painful for a few weeks. I don’t remember him apologizing.” soulasaurus

34. They Had To Spend Five Months With Ungrateful Houseguests

“In-laws (wife’s sister and brother-in-law) stayed with us, rent and utility free, for 5 months (we offered and refused money to help them get back on their feet financially).

Every night I came home from work and their 6 and 8-year-old kids trashed the house, threw our kids’ toys everywhere, and almost never cleaned up.

They blew their money eating out on most days.

When we wanted to relax, the 4 of them took up enough spots on our 8 person couch that we had nowhere to sit most nights.

They rarely did the dishes, even their own. If they cooked they made sure to do it before we got home so they didn’t have to make us any.

And when they finally got an apartment and finally enrolled their kids at school only 2 months late, they left without telling us, without thanking us, and without cleaning. A garbage bag of stuff in the rooms they stayed in, a sink full of dishes they left.

5 months of daily disrespect and to this day 4 years later I’ve never spoken to them and have refused to go visit them.” Saneless

33. Trying To Steal His Girlfriend Right In Front Of His Face

“Shortly after moving in with the woman I thought I would grow old with, a friend of mine came to see us in our new place and appeared to be instantly smitten with her.

He spent the whole time putting me down in front of her, flirting grotesquely with her and repeatedly ‘jokingly,’ telling her she’d made a terrible mistake and that she should come and live with him because he could provide for her in a manner which was clearly beyond my means.

I put up with it for as long as I could, thinking at first that it was simply his sick sense of humor, but when it became obvious that he wasn’t joking (and repeatedly tried to hug her, though they had never met) I told him to leave. I’ve never spoken to him since.” QuasarSandwich

32. The Infamous Kid Who Scratched His Name Into The Dining Room Table

“My family has had this large wood dining table that’s been passed through the family for years, a truly beautiful work of art.

When I was about 8 years old I had a friend from school named Max over and we were working on homework at the table. Max was using a protractor to draw perfect circles when he realized he could use the sharp end to carve his name into our nice table. Now when we have guests over, a common topic of discussion for dinner is ‘who’s Max?’ My parents were pretty pissed when they found the carving but eventually moved on. Now it’s just another funny story to tell.” devinkokenge
31. Helpful Mom Cleans Her Kid’s Friend’s Shoes, And He Blows Up At Her

“One time in elementary school I invited a kid from school over to play video games.

He took off his shoes when he got in and left them by the front door. When my mom got home, she smelled his shoes and they must’ve smelled horrible because she decided to give them a nice clean to let this kid go home with good smelling shoes.

Bad idea.

Right as he was about to leave, the kid picked up his shoes and roared: ‘WHY ARE MY SHOES CLEAN?’ He got absurdly mad and told us he was going to destroy everything we owned. He was kicked out of our house and never invited back.” thewolfeman01

“My wife’s sister was getting married and a bunch of the bride and groom’s friends and family came over to our house.

One of the groom’s family friends went to our room and took a shower in our bathroom and used my wife’s towel and make-up without asking. This wouldn’t be so bad if she hadn’t also given my wife head lice.” butt3rsc0tch

28. These Kids Came Into The House Starving For Junk Food

“One time when I was younger, we had some of my friends over from school and their parents never let them eat junk food and we had some stuff like Capri Suns and fruit snacks. They basically raided our entire kitchen to the point where there was almost nothing left. Never invited them again.” bambiartistic

27. They Spoke Chinese In The House And It Was Not His Place To Complain About it

“My cousin (Chinese) and her white husband were visiting my family in our home.

My cousin is helping my mom out in the kitchen and they start speaking in Chinese.

You can leave if it bothers you.'” sneauxoui

26. This Guest Spent The Night Staring At A Screen Instead Of Hanging Out

“Had a wife’s old coworker over for a game night with friends. He was sitting on his phone all night, holding up play of the card game we were all playing, so I called him out jokingly by saying, ‘Hey man, hang out with us instead of your phone.’ He flipped out on me and said that he was going to beat me up.

And I told him to get out of my house immediately.

He then texted my wife saying I didn’t respect her and that he loved her and that she should leave me. I let her know if he ever came around me again I’d kick him in the face.” Windhorse730

24. A Crazy Cousin Borrowed Their Phone With Bad Results

“My cousin had just gotten kicked out of her parent’s house for the umpteenth time.

She came over to vent to my mom who made her coffee, let her scream and was trying to be the supportive aunt. My cousin then asks to borrow our phone. Turns out there was this woman that provides a ‘spiritual/mental health service’ and had stopped offering her services to my cousin when my cousin made it clear she’s crazy. The woman told my cousin she needed ‘professional medical help.’ My cousin took it the wrong way, doxxed the woman, then started harassing her on the phone to the point where she got blocked. Using our phone was the only way my cousin could continue to harass her.

I don’t remember how my dad got her out of the locked bathroom but he did and kicked her out. The woman reported our phone number to the police. It was a whole mess trying to work it out at first but once the woman agreed to talk to my dad, all he really had to say was ‘[crazy cousin] came over and…’ and the woman was basically like ‘oh I get it now. no worries. She’s a disaster.'” othermegan

23. This Military Family Expected More Space Than They Should Have

“My husband had just deployed and I had friends that were getting stationed overseas and needed a place to stay for a few weeks until they left.

I told them they could use my guest bedroom and bathroom. This wasn’t big enough for these people apparently. I worked night shift and the day they moved in, they barged into my room while I was sleeping and set up the bathroom and my husbands closet with all their stuff. This woman was literally throwing my husband’s stuff on the floor and putting hers in its place. A few days later she decided to reorganize my pantry and laundry room. She moved all my husband’s books into the garage to make more room for their crap. I had enough and told her that I offered them a room not the total reign of my house.

She got upset with me and insulted my dog and I was like, no!!! So I kicked them out and they stayed in a motel till they left.” glitterpie56
22. If They Tell You Not To Park In The Driveway, Don’t Park In The Driveway

“Let this couple stay for a few weeks rent free. Told them to not park in the driveway or garage because parking is bad and it’s our place. They parked in the driveway everyday, ate all the food, neither of them worked. They made a mess and made zero effort to help. (This was a favor for a friend, I didn’t know them).

After telling them twice to not park in the driveway, the third time I lost it. I came in and told them they need to move their car and the girl gave me attitude after staying rent free for two weeks, eating our food, not cleaning and making a mess. I brought up that they were staying for free all day, not working, making a mess, and being jerks. I told them they need to pack their stuff now and be out in 15 or I’m calling the police. They called me every name in the book and made a scene out front for 30 minutes before leaving.” JLHumor

21. Setting The Table Was Not As Urgent As The Houseguest Seemed To Think It Was

“So one day, my mom decides to invite her crazy friend (will refer to as CF) and her daughters over for dinner.

I’m chilling playing some league on my computer when CF tells me to come set the table. One important thing to note is that dinner hasn’t been cooked yet, so it’s nowhere close to the time I would set the table, but CF insists I do. When I tell her that I’d do it when I was done, CF rips the power cord to my computer out of the socket. Needless to say, who does that kind of stuff.” the_lean_machine
20. These Houseguests Decided To Steal Their Cheap Forks

19. Don’t Pick Up The Dog Means Don’t Pick Up The Dog

“I had a friend come over to my house in grade 1 or 2 (so we were around 6 years old). My grandma had her dog downstairs which didn’t like being picked up by strangers, so I told my friend not to touch the dog.

I went to get something and heard the dog yelping-she had picked the dog up and dropped her onto the tiles. The dog ended up breaking her back leg and we had to pay thousands in vet bills for surgery.

She called her parents to come and pick her up and her dad yelled at me because the girl was crying and didn’t apologize for what happened to the dog. I wasn’t friends with the girl anymore after that.” deleted

She complained about the beer and pizza I bought specifically for us, wasn’t grateful for the food I made. Made fun of my apartment. Generally complain-y the entire time she was there. Terrible houseguest. I don’t even talk to her anymore.” I_dig_fe
16. She Insulted This Man’s Mother, And Boy Was He Angry About It

“My mom is kind of a strange person. I love her dearly, but her mental health can sometimes make her very boisterous and all over the place in conversation. I think it’s because she just doesn’t get a lot of social interaction anymore.

One day, one of my dad’s client’s wives came into my house uninvited and started talking to my mom and I.

Mom was talking about something energetically, I don’t remember what, that this woman knew nothing about. I started talking about the job dad’s client was having done (so this woman could join the conversation). The woman then looks at me and says: ‘Sucks when a kid has to parent their parents.’

Excuse me? No, I’m not parenting my mother, I’m just pivoting the conversation to include you because my mom has problems with socialization. Get out of my house you jerk, you know nothing about how much this woman has taken care of me my whole life.” habeascorpvs

15. This Bully Made Fun Of Her Brother And Didn’t Get Away With It

“I was matched with a girl as a freshman in high school for a history project.

Our project was Ancient Greece and I, being a budding seamstress, decided we should make homemade costumes. I invited her over on a Friday to sleep over because we were becoming friends (or so I thought). She lived 45 min away in another town.

My little sister (whom I’m very close to) decided to help us by pulling out an old costume from one of her projects. She went to put the costume on the girl and because she hadn’t pulled it out in some time, my sister messed up putting it on her. She laughed and went to fix it when the girl said: ‘Wow, [my name] how does it feel to have a little sister with severe autism?’

To say I saw red is an understatement.

I screamed at this chick for god knows how long, she didn’t even laugh off her comments as a joke. We didn’t do the project. I forced her to sleep on the other side of my house alone. Woke up in the morning and she was already gone. My mom was in the middle of it all too, but we couldn’t kick her out because it was late. I remember telling her how lucky she was I didn’t make her get a cab home.

When the girl and I got to school on Monday, my teacher called us up to present. I looked her dead in the eyes and shook my head wordlessly.

She just dropped the subject and I told her what happened afterward. Turns out my mom sent her an email Saturday morning and they had been talking all weekend. Soon, everyone knew and she blew up on anybody that brought it up and called me a **** every time. Small school, so everyone knew my sister and I and the comments weren’t tolerated.”

She left school the next week.” AMothWithHumanHands

14. Just Because You’re Related Doesn’t Mean You Can Steal Your Family’s Ipad

“My little cousin stole my iPad that I had just bought. I tore up the house looking for it and I eventually assumed that I had lost it and thrown $250 down the drain.

My uncle was in town a month later though and gave it back to me after he realized what had happened, so at least there was a happy ending.” snakefanclub

13. A Dad Snooping Led To Him Being Banished

“My dad came over to my new house for the first time and thought it was okay to just walk into me and my fiance’s bedroom and look around, including opening my fiance’s nightstand drawer and seeing our private things. That was the last time he was allowed over.” Truedeal

12. Playdates Should Not Last Until 9 pm On A School Night

“A mother left her 6-year-old child at my house until 9 pm.

The play date was supposed to end at 5 pm. It was a school night. No call. No explanation. She shows up, picks up her kid and leaves. Not a word. No explanation. Not even a lousy sorry. The mom drove a Lexus and didn’t work. So no sob story excuse for a poor working person who had a big day.” porcupine_huggles

11. No Brotherly Love When Your Brother Is A Serious Mooch

“My brother is one of those people who will survive on ramen noodles because he’s unemployed and has been for upwards of 15 years. That said, we have learned to hide or not buy food when he comes

My brother ate all my daughter’s gummy vitamins because ‘they taste good and they’re good for you.’ He ate everything in our fridge (meals for everyone for several days) and then asked us to go get more groceries.

After we got more groceries, not because he asked but because it turns out we need to eat as well, he packed up all our leftovers and took them with him when he left. When I called him out on it later he said he needed something to eat on the plane. When I pointed out that he didn’t ask he just took, and now I once again had to go buy food so my toddler could eat, he just said she probably wouldn’t have eaten the leftovers anyway.

He was here for 3 days. He ate almost 300 dollars worth of food if you count supplements, snacks, meals, and my kid’s gummy vitamins.” Aardvark1292

10. This Potential New Roommate Leaves Crumbs Everywhere

“We had a guy over who was potentially going to be our new roommate.

We played a board game he brought over. He refused to let us read the instructions and explained the rules vaguely. It felt like he was cheating the whole time. That was weird, but it gets weirder. We also shared a fresh baguette at the table. After he was done, he took the time to neatly sweep up all the crumbs on the table into his hand and then proceeded to just drop them on the floor next to him. Needless to say, he isn’t our roommate.” leyonrohr

9. They Called The Bunny Ugly

“They called my tiny little bunny fat and ugly.

I don’t invite them over anymore. She’s beautiful and they are just bullies.” Your-Reality

8. This Guest Who Ate Pie With Their Hands Won’t Be Invited Back

“My ex-friend took our Thanksgiving pie that was leftover and sat in the corner of the living room and ate it with her hands. An entire pie that we were all supposed to share for dessert that night.” apricotical

7. This Mom Doesn’t Like Her Kid’s Cooking, And She Told Him Directly

“My mum used to complain that I never cooked when I was a teenager, so I made her a pot roast one night at my own place.

She told me that she wasn’t hungry and I came out of the shower later to find the entire roast in the bin, still whole, no meat is taken off it.” maecana
6. Having A Newborn Baby Is No Excuse To Be Completely Rude

“My sister came to visit from out of town. Her friend lived nearby so she came over with her newborn boy. I also have a baby. She comes in and doesn’t greet or almost in any way interact with me or my husband. Puts her car seat on my kitchen table. (This is so dirty to me cause when I gotta pee in public I’d put my kid’s car seat on the bathroom floor).

She then proceeds to change her baby boy’s diaper on my couch. This is what is insane to me. I have a baby. I have two freaking changing tables! Ask to use one! I’d never change my kid on someone’s couch who didn’t have a baby, but if I were in a home where a baby was I’d ask to use their changing table or at least ask where they don’t mind me changing my kid. Then we go out to dinner, my family and this chick. My mother pays for the entire meal at the steakhouse and not one ‘thank you’ from her.” eryneternal
5. Hogging A 4-Year-Old’s New Gift Is Just Wrong

“I have a friend I love dearly but his wife is one of the most horrible, lazy people I have ever met.

So my son got a Nintendo DS for his 4th birthday. Well, my friend lived 2 houses over so they come to his birthday party. She starts going on about how she had to pawn her DS or traded it in at game stop for credit or something. So later she is playing my son’s DS he’s just gotten and he is climbing all over her trying to get it back. She starts screaming at a 4-year-old to get off of her because she is playing. I was like ‘Ummm, he’s 4 and you took his brand new big gift and favorite game from him and you are screaming at him.

Quit acting like a baby and give him his stuff back. Then you can leave.’ She has been banned from my house. I offered to pay for my friend’s divorce when she started cheating. That was 5 years ago. Our friendship is no longer as close and he is still with her.” Artio69
4. The Parents’ Friends’ Kids’ Destroyed Her New Telescope

“When I was 11-12 I got a telescope for Christmas. Put it together that day and was already looking up star charts and all that astronomy stuff. Along comes new years and my brand new telescope is in my room in perfect condition, haven’t even used it really.

My parents tell me that my room was going to be used by some family friend and their kids, all younger than 4. Tell my parents I don’t want them in my room, but not much choice. Next morning I rush into my room and my telescope is ruined. The lens is scratched, the smaller telescope was somehow ripped off the larger and the tripod legs were broken. Told my parents but nothing came of it. Don’t even remember getting an apology.” deleted
3. A Guest Treated A Desk Chair Like A Toy And Broke It

“I’m still pissed about this, and this happened almost 14 years ago.

I was in between my first and second semesters of grad school and working in a department store. I had a coworker there with whom I had become friendly. So friendly I had spent Thanksgiving at her house a couple of months before. She was younger than me, 19, but married so I thought she must be kind of mature. I had invited her over to dinner at my house with some other friends. She sat down in my desk chair for some reason, and I asked her to be careful in it because the back seemed like it was about to break off, and I was a poor grad student and couldn’t really afford a replacement.

She said something like: ‘So I shouldn’t go like this?’ and started rocking back and forth against the back of the chair. I said, ‘Yes, please stop.’ It promptly broke off and she just laughed.

Not long after that, I got a TA position at school and quit the department store. I ghosted her.” badbreath_onionrings

2. This Rude Guest Brought Pizza To A Celiac’s House For Dinner

“Arrived at my house with a pizza (knowing from the several dinners we had previously shared that I have celiac and cannot eat pizza, thereby basically bringing dinner for everyone except the homeowner who had invited her over), then got quickly inebriated and proceeded to make out with my (now ex) boyfriend on my sofa in front of me.

Sweet girl.” niesnerj
