Everyone loves to have family and friends over for a gathering once in a while, right? There’s nothing like being in the company of loved ones, eating some good food, and just reminiscing on good memories.
Although get-togethers don’t happen too often, we usually tend to call friends and family members over for special occasions (i.e. Birthdays, anniversaries etc.) and holidays; Thanksgiving and Christmas are always better when you have company! While some people on your guest list may live a rock’s throw away, there are others that travel from far and wide to be a part of the celebration. So, like many others, if you have guests that need a place to crash at the end of the night, you’re more than willing to let them take your couch or that spare room upstairs. Who wouldn’t?
Well, maybe those who have had house guest horror stories would think twice about letting someone stay the night after previous incidents. I was one of those people who thought that house guests always respected all the rules, played their part as a temporary “member of the household,” and overall just behaved. Boy, was I wrong!
I haven’t been through any crazy moments with my house guests, thank goodness! But, there are several people who have! If you’re on the same boat, maybe you’ll relate to the stories below, and if you’ve been lucky enough to escape the hands of a bad house guest, then tune in to these (almost horrific) tales to read about some of the weirdest things house guests of done in peoples’ homes.
34. My mother-in-law blew out my son’s birthday candles
Ah, the infamous eternal struggle with the mother-in-law. Sadly, this is one guest that can be virtually impossible to avoid.
“My mother-in-law is the worst! She is the absolute rudest person you’d ever meet in your life. Anyone that’s met her will agree. She once took a piece of birthday cake from my 3-year-old before we sang happy birthday, blew out the candles, and cut the cake. I didn’t notice until we went to sing happy birthday. At that point, not only was the cake missing, but his brother was too! She was sitting with my other son spoon feeding him!” – StephieVee
33. My sister’s kid jammed the toilet with tissue and caused a leaking roof
“My sister’s kid crammed an entire roll of toilet paper in the upstairs toilet, then flushed and let it fill the bathroom with toilet water until it finally soaked through and started pouring out underneath.
My sister and her husband see this mess and immediately make hasty goodbyes and leave. I didn’t even know it was their kid that had done it until after they were gone and my parents told me her kid had a history of doing this.
Spent my Thanksgiving evening cleaning up poop water and getting the drywall in my house ruined.” – Yangoose
32. He was in the bathroom for a suspiciously long time
“About a year ago a guy I was talking to came over after a night of drinking. We’re hanging out in my kitchen when he excuses himself upstairs to the bathroom.
I didn’t really realize how much time had passed, and when I did I went up and knocked on the door and heard my shower running.
I asked if everything was ok and he said yes and I went back downstairs. About 10 minutes later, he comes downstairs with wet hair and says he has to leave. [I] go upstairs and find my sink FILLED with vomit.
I can handle most body fluids but puke makes me dry heave even thinking about it. [I] spent the rest of the night using a plunger to unclog the chunks and scrubbing my sink, and trying not to add to it.
Yep…never talked to him again.” – allicat4
31. He would bring strangers to my house to spend the night
“We let a friend stay with us when he got out of the Navy until he got back on his feet. It was supposed to only be for a few weeks but it turned into several months. He tripled our electric bill and doubled our water bill within 2 weeks, and he didn’t start paying me until nearly a month and a half into him staying with us.
He would help around the house for the first two weeks and then just stopped. He would go party with a few people who often would take advantage of him since he’s really attractive.
Then he would come home and blame me (not even kidding, one of his other female friends forcibly made out with him and he came home and yelled at me, and told me that my gender just takes advantage of people like him).
My daughter wasn’t even a year yet and he would just randomly invite people over to spend the night without contacting us first.
I would get up for work at 4 and get my kid ready for daycare, and there would be wasted people I didn’t know passed out all over the living room. He used to watch raunchy and trashy shows with scenes that could pass for softcore smut in the living room while our daughter was in the room.
He once fed her a protein bar because she was fixated on its gold wrapper and got mad at me for getting mad at him. His reasoning was that one time I said that she didn’t like eating meat and somehow that meant that she needed protein and so he was just doing me a favor.
It hit a crescendo when one day he decided he was going to try and stay up for 36 hours.
He made himself a pot of coffee on the stove, even though we have a Keurig, went to his room and passed out. The coffee boiled into this black tar and smoked up the entire house.
I woke up at 3 in the morning to the smell.
I called him out on it since my daughter’s room was right next to the kitchen and could have hurt her (not that a fire could’ve started but it’s the principle of the matter). He apologized but then he did the same mess the next day.
I wound up kicking him out that week and our friendship ended then and there. On top of that, he told everyone what happened but failed to mention the coffee incident so I opened Facebook to see huge rants about how much of a witch I was.” – methylenebluestains
30. He colored the bathroom with a sharpie
“My roommate’s boyfriend comes over wasted.
The roommate was not there but he said he wanted to wait for her, and we were too non-confrontational to make him leave. After a while, he goes into the bathroom and we can hear lots of splashing around, but again, too timid to ask what the heck is going on in there.
He comes out, sits down, and we notice his arms are completely covered in black marker. Then he says, ‘You might want to clean up the bathroom. There is water all over in there,’ and leaves.
He had taken a freaking black sharpie, colored his arms, then tried cleaning it off, and when it wouldn’t come off he got the marker wet and splashed black sharpie water all over the entire bathroom.
There were puddles of purple sharpie water all over the floor. It stained the linoleum and, despite our roommate’s attempts to clean it up, we ended up losing [our] security deposit money over it. I still have no idea why he colored his arms.
As I said, he had been drinking so I’m sure that had something do with it.
After that, he was no longer allowed over without her there.” – HotDishEnthusiast
29. One kid literally broke everything
“We had some relatives with really poor control of their kid over for a week. We didn’t have enough bedrooms, so their kid stayed in my room and I slept on the couch.
In the time they were staying that kid managed to:
– Break the door to my bedroom
– Break my Xbox 360
– Scratch the new paint off the wall next to my bed, leaving a huge white ****** in an otherwise blue wall
– Break the railing on our stairs, after trying to climb them
– Break most of my Lego sets, and lose some of the most vital pieces
I love my family, but no one is staying in my room ever again.” – TomIce1234
28. A co-worker stole our stuff
“When I was in my early 20s, my roommate and I threw a party and we each invited our friends.
A few of my coworkers showed up too, but everyone mixed and had a good time. There was a bunch of drinking, flip cup, etc.
A few months later, I was over at one of my coworker’s apartment and noticed a magnet on her fridge that was identical to one at our place.
‘Hey, how funny! My roommate has the same magnet. Random!’
‘Oh, yeah, she used to! I saw it at your party and loved it…so I took it.’
Like, what the?! She wasn’t even ashamed or trying to hide that she’d stolen from us.
I still kind of wonder what the heck else she took.” – Reddit User
27. She was pretending to stab all the guests at my party
“[I] lost my friend of 30 years over this: He brings a woman over for a small get together.
She encourages my pregnant wife to drink and asks our friend if she’s bi (she’s not). She comes into the kitchen, grabs knives and pretends to stab everyone while doing knife Katas.
Later, she chases the not bi friend all over the house in what to all of us felt very stalkerish-I physically stop her by grabbing her wrists, and say: ‘What the heck is going on with you?’
She replies, ‘Go ahead, break my wrists.’
We had a fire outside where the weird guest remarked, ‘There are three things you can watch forever, a river flowing, fire burning, and someone being hurt.’
My friend of 30 years saw no problem with any of this behavior, married her, and I’ve not heard from him in a year nor do I wish to.
I saw him in the supermarket with his now pregnant wife and slipped out.
I assume at some point she will murder him.” – chetsnaker
26. He pulled out a baggie of ***** and started breaking out ***** on the table
“A few years ago my childhood best friend came to visit me with his girlfriend. Plans were made, and our other childhood friend was coming over when they arrived. Well, they show up with a third guy in tow from his new town I don’t particularly like, but whatever, I’ll deal with it.
Then our other childhood friend arrives and immediately pulls out a bag of ***** and starts cutting lines on my coffee table.
My wife (girlfriend at the time) flips out on him and the third wheel tried to stick up for him and decided they’ll just do it outside…
My neighbor was a cop, so that didn’t end well for them. On top of that, the friend with the ***** is now a substance abuser and a total mess, and the third wheel killed his girlfriend and is looking at serious time.
The original friend and I are the only clean and successful people. Kinda sad but they’re nitwits.” – aGeckoInTheGarage
25. He was stealing my mom ‘s DVD set
“My friends and I got really into DnD in college and played often at my parents’ house (only place with a big enough table).
One of my friends invites his buddy over but he’s not gonna play, he just wanted to play his DS. No big deal right?
He gets bored and starts watching ‘Saving Private Ryan’ on full blast volume like it’s no big deal, and we eventually tell him to turn down the volume. He would turn the volume up by one unit, look back at us to see if we noticed, turn it up another unit, look back at us, and repeat. After getting back to the original volume we tell him to please lower it back down. Doesn’t phase him, he keeps creeping up the volume as if we’ll never notice a war movie getting louder and louder.
Eventually, everyone is leaving and under his arm, facing the door was my moms LotR box set of DVDs. I stop him and ask ‘What are you doing with those?’ Without another breath, he says: ‘Oh, you said I could borrow them.’ This ain’t Skyrim! You can’t just click ‘lie’ and hope it works!” – Houseofpayne426
24. She was drawing on our walls
“When I was a kid I had a friend from school sleepover one weekend. My parents were stripping the old, bizarre 80s wallpaper at the time, so for the first time in forever (only time!), we were allowed to draw on the walls.
My parents thought it would be fun, creative, and only last a day or two until we painted. My friend was invited to draw pictures with us.
I drew a picture of our dog. My friend drew another dog standing behind my dog, and her dog had a giant tongue that was licking my dog’s butt. She then proceeded to draw giant bras on the walls.
When my parents walked in and saw this, they were on the phone to her parents to come to pick her up ASAP.
Really weird stuff.” – hugsouffle
23. He changes the formation of my room
It’s one thing to put your feet on someone else’s coffee table, or switch the TV channel without asking, but what if someone comes in and just changes the entire aesthetics of your room? Don’t believe it? Check out this story:
“Every time my best friend comes over he sneaks into my bedroom and moves everything around.
I don’t think my room has been back the exact way I like it in a year or more.” – Reddit User
22. My mother-in-law invaded my privacy
There is this unspoken truth about the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: You can always expect a little bit of animosity. We can’t say why, but it happens. Maybe it’s scenarios like this that lead to a bitter taste in the mouth:
“My MIL said she was just going to use my phone to take a picture since her phone was dead. Instead, she went through my pictures and posted 15 in a row on Facebook.
I guess I’m glad there was nothing personal in there?” – sleepybear7
21. When someone has a serious staring problem
I can’t stand when people are staring at me. I think it’s normal to feel uncomfortable and eventually want to ask the person to quit it! But, what happens if you’re this guy and the person who’s living with you, temporarily, just can’t take their eyes off you?
“Stare at me as I eat my food or walk around the house…” – Travant
I wonder if he ever told the person to stop. Or, did he just let it happen?
20. As a guest, I love to snoop around
This story is coming from someone who has stayed as a guest at someone else’s place.
Talking about weird things that people do, one person decided to just admit to their weirdness:
“I always, always, always look in their bathroom cabinet. Oh, and their fridge! I don’t know why, but I guess it is a way to get to know who they really are.” – ryggrad
Does it make it right if you’re a self-proclaimed “weird guest?” I don’t know, you be the judge…
19. She pooped everywhere in the bathroom
“I hired a 17-year-old family friend to help with some yard work. She was a good student, a nice person, and a hard worker. While we were trimming a hedge, she asked if she could use the bathroom.
I showed her where it was, went back outside, and continued to work. She took a while, and I worried she wasn’t feeling well. Eventually, she came back out and appeared to be fine. I didn’t give it another thought. We finished up the work, and I drove her home.
When I returned, I headed into the bathroom to shower and was met with my worst nightmare. There was poop everywhere. There were nuggets, chunks of fre*aking corn, a*nd *********** fingerprints everywhere; walls, floor, toilet, shower curtain, towels, cabinet, mirror.
She was thorough. Nothing, save the ceiling had been missed by this Picasso.
Incredulous, disgusted, angry, and perplexed don’t even scratch the surface of the emotional tsunami I felt. It took hours to clean and sanitize the mess she made, and I still feel resentful 20 years later.
I never said anything to her. I didn’t know how to broach the topic. Her brother was terminally ill and in the hospital, her dad was mean, the family was very poor, and I knew she was under a tremendous amount of stress. I just kept my distance, and never invited her to my house again.” – flatfrog
18. He was screaming in the middle of the night
Several years ago, I had a couple of church friends from out of town stay with me and my family while they visited St.
Louis. Although I had known the two of them for years, I hadn’t spent much time alone with either of them outside of hiking, meals or church.
We spent the night having beers, reminiscing and getting caught up. The two guys had a friendly rivalry and enjoyed ribbing each other. As the visit progressed, the ribbing became more pronounced and personal. Apparently, the car ride had become contentious when a third traveler decided to opt out of the trip. They each heatedly blamed the other for his last minute decision and I decided it was time to circumvent the argument by calling it a night.
We had previously decided that the 2 of them would sleep in the guest area in the lower part of the house while the rest of my family slept in the upper bedrooms. So they trotted downstairs and I thought it was all good.
Around 2 in the morning I was jolted awake by a loud thud followed by some sort of commotion on the lower level. My first thought was, someone has fallen in the dark and I better get up and see if they need help.
Suddenly one of the guests began shrieking in a blood-curdling scream similar to a graphic horror movie.
This continued uninterrupted for 30 seconds before my thoughts jumped to the earlier argument and my groggy conclusion that one of my guests was attacking (ie. killing) the other.
The screaming continued and my stomach churned as I tried to decide what to do. I called out for my kids to see if they were alright and retrieved a bat that I kept in the bedroom closet in case of home intruders.
At this point, the shrieking had been going on for well over 1 minute and I morbidly wondered why the intensity or volume hadn’t changed. I cautiously approached the stairs and the screaming stopped.
My kids called out and I reassured them that everything was alright even as I wondered what to do next.
Downstairs it was as quiet as mouse, then timidly a voice said: ‘We’re okay down here too. Scott rolled off the couch and it triggered his screaming night terrors. He’s not even awake.'” – Eric Wolter
17. One house guest made out with another man’s wife
“[One of my house guests] made out with my (now) ex-wife. Also, [I] had a friend so drunk [that he] mistook the dining room table for the toilet, pulled his pants down in full sight of all of us who were also drunk, and [then] drifted to sleep on [the] couches. [Later] he proceeds to p*ss everywhere (carpet).
In his credit, when he woke up, he cleaned up the whole thing.” – R0ot2U
16. They kicked her out of her own home
Ever been asked to leave the house by your own house guests? This one just may be a first, and there’s a reason it ended the way it did…
“My in-laws hated me. We invited them over for Thanksgiving dinner and, upon arrival, they asked me to leave and come back a few hours later because they wanted to ‘follow their tradition of preparing the meal alone as a family.’ They are now my ex-in-laws.” – Arboretum7
15. He said their cooking “tastes horrible”
“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 ********: ‘This is the most under-cooked pasta I’ve ever had, it tastes terrible, someone needs to show you how to cook pasta.’ 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
14. Three drunk people caused a lot of commotion
“My husband let a former coworker crash on the couch because he had been drinking and we didn’t want him to drive. Woke up the next morning and he had stolen our computer, a cell phone, a little bit of cash, and our cigarettes. Turns out he had a drug problem. We got our computer back.
[We] had a drunk friend puke on my son’s bedroom floor, he thought it was the bathroom.
(My son wasn’t home, thank goodness.)
A different drunk friend peed all over my bathroom floor-which I discovered by walking into the bathroom the next morning while wearing socks.
I need to stop letting drunk people stay over…” – whovianmomof2
13. Her dad dragged him out of the house…for good reason, of course
This story is a fun one. This is a family that you don’t want to mess with.
“When I was in high school, I brought a boy I was going out with to meet my family. He tried to cop a feel on my younger sister. The joke was on him, though. She beat the living *** out of him, then got to have my dad drag him out by the scruff of the neck.” – Reddit User
12. She wouldn’t let anyone sleep in
I know they say it’s rude to wake up late when someone else is hosting you, but can’t you let the hosts sleep in for as long as they want? This grandma doesn’t think so.
“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 past 9 am and told my mom that she needed to work less so she could clean the house better.” – PixelRapunzel
11. He ate half of the Chinese takeout
“One of my best mates came to spend the night, so my folks decided to splash out 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 and, when confronted about it by me, helpfully pointed out that there was still another tub.
For the seven of us.” – ChrisTheDog
10. She killed the family bird
“A friend of ours was visiting with her child. This was not really a child, but an 8-year-old jerk who, after five minutes, made it obvious the lack of discipline she grew up with. My daughter and said psycho were playing in her room. The adults stepped outside to see/discuss something for a few minutes. We return when we hear a squawk to find her holding my dove. The little brat opened the cage and grabbed the bird to pet her. Did you know you can’t squeeze a bird? It died from internal injuries less than two hours later.
My daughter was heartbroken.” – _whitenoise
9. A single mom called the cops on him
“My cousin (let’s call him JC) was traveling cross-country for work and decided to make an impromptu stop in Denver for a few days. I didn’t mind because I like having friends and family around. He was to arrive on a Monday, and I didn’t take time off so I’d be working in the day but afternoons and evenings were mostly free.
The first day or two of him being there went fine until the Wednesday night that he tells me he wants to get out of the apartment. Mind you, it was already after 8 pm, and I have to be up for work at 4:30 am.
So, JC decides to call a cab and just go to a bar for a little bit. I wasn’t really for it, but I didn’t want to hold him back from seeing some of the city. I give him my address and a spare key. He leaves with the cabbie around 9 pm.
Fast forward to 2 am.
I get woken up by a call from my cousin, messed up, asking to open the door. I’m like, ‘You have the key!’ And he responds, ‘Open the door, I’m knocking!’ I tell him, ‘JC, I don’t hear you knocking! Where are you?!’
This went on for about 20 minutes of trying to get a wasted moron to make sense on the phone.
I decided to throw on some clothes and drive around the community, simultaneously talking to him on the phone, and looking for a wasted idiot knocking on some random person’s door.
After much circling around, I find a cop car with two cops walking towards an apartment building (not far from mine). I get out and walk towards them. The cop approaches me and asks if I know the guy, and I tell the cop the truth of how it all played out. They tell me to stay by my car while they talk to him. A few minutes pass and JC stumbles over while the cops tell me to take him immediately.
JC, in his wasted wisdom, was banging on the door of an apartment of a single mom with two children. He lost my stupid apartment key (which they were kind enough to replace without charge). He raged in my apartment and threatened to kick my butt. He then proceeded to pass out until I got back from work around 5 pm.” – DenverITGuy
8. I caught my aunt stealing my mom’s jewelry
“After my mother’s funeral, we had a luncheon back at my parents’ house. It wasn’t a large house but it was spacious, and the 100 people in attendance were spread through the dining room, kitchen, living room, and outside patio area.
I was in the garage with my best friend, drinking to try and fortify myself, when I heard my 17-year-old neighbor crank up his ridiculously loud car radio. The entire house was vibrating, and I completely spazzed.
I would have killed him, but my cousin stopped me and said he would handle it. He walked over to the guy and told him what was going on, and politely asked him to turn it off. The kid cussed him out and proceeded to turn it up even louder.
So, I decided to call the cops since any other recourse would have involved fire, assault with a deadly weapon, and a lengthy prison term.
Grief can make you pretty crazy.
I went upstairs to use the phone located in my parents’ room. As I opened the door, I found my aunt (mother’s sister) rummaging through my mother’s things.
When I demanded to know what in the world she was doing, she replied that she just wanted to take something to remember her sister. I told her to get the heck out, and that if my father had found her doing that, he would’ve thrown her out the window.
Luckily I had a feeling there might be some drama, so I had already removed my mother’s jewelry armoire and took it to my apartment.
I think that’s what my aunt really wanted-nothing like a betrayal of trust while grieving a devastating loss.” – Bookworm74
7. An old friend came to visit but she wasn’t alone
“I get this call from an old friend from college. She was one of those people who had a crap ton of talent but was for some reason determined to mess up her life in every way possible.
We live halfway between where she lived and where she was going, so she called and [asked] if she could crash on our couch to break up the trip. Sure. My wife had to work on her master’s thesis, so she was just like ‘have fun.’
My friend shows up a) married to a white guy with dreadlocks and ear gauges, who was a complete jerk; b) with two children, 3 and 2, in tow; and, c) about six months pregnant.
I’m like well, there aren’t a lot of extra places to sleep, but I’m going to do my best to roll with it.
I could not. The children were horrible, just completely uncontrollable unless they were sitting in my soon-to-be-ex-friend’s lap.
These kids started pulling down everything off our shelves, and Mom was just like ‘haha.’ The husband was worse than useless. He dragged me into the bedroom: The friend had said I’d probably have pot, which I did, and didn’t mind sharing, but the husband smoked basically the whole eighth in like two hours.
[He] spent the whole time complaining about what a crappy wife and mom my friend was.
She came in in the middle of it and smoked a ton of pot while pregnant, too. Then they wanted dinner: She rode with me to a local joint, ordered a bunch of food to go, and was like ‘Sorry, dude, but I’m out of money.’
So, I was out like $60 when times were tight. She spent the whole car ride complaining about what a crappy husband he was. When we got back, Kid 2 was literally climbing a bookshelf, and the husband had Kid 1 pinned to the ground, arms and legs.
The kid was screaming ****** murder; the husband was like: ‘This is the only thing that chills him out.’
My wife spent the whole night locked in the office; they didn’t leave until afternoon the next day and were fighting the whole time.
Blocked, deleted, ghosted.” – felagund
6. She started peeing in a cup
“My mother-in-law was staying at our house.
In the middle of the night, I hear her get up and then hear my garage door open. There being absolutely no reason for her to be out there, I get up to go see if she needs anything. I open the door and find her crouching over a cup peeing. I startled her which caused her to drop the cup, spilling her fresh urine all over my garage floor.
Her explanation was that someone (my husband) was in the only bathroom. That would fly except she didn’t even knock on the door! She just saw the door closed and went straight to peeing in a cup in the garage.” – conform-a-tron
5. They refused to pay rent, broke my windows, and had me evicted
“Just last year I let a couple live with me when they first moved to Los Angeles to get settled in.
Her dad was best friends with my late father so even though we didn’t know her personally we assumed the best.
The first thing they did was bring a golden retriever and a cat to my apartment that does not allow pets. After countless times of them not listening to me and us almost getting evicted, they finally listened-then continued to bring the dog and cat back.
It was exhausting.
They didn’t pay rent or utilities and still owe me so much money.
The girl was completely insane. She was the moodiest person I have ever met. She got wasted one night, and threw her cat against the ceiling and threw my friend in a closet.
Then [she] took all my dishes and started smashing them.
The final month was coming up on our lease, and by this point, my other roommate was overwhelmed and moved out. The new guests were going to split rent with me. The day before rent was due they told me they were moving out and not giving me any money for rent.
I could not afford the $2,500 rent by myself, so within a night, I was homeless. I had to move out that night into my best friend’s apartment.
When they moved out, they took a bunch of my stuff, broke the window and dishes, and never helped clean the place at all.
I was so lucky my landlord let me out of the lease.
Never had I met such terrible people before in my life.” – averym88
4. He didn’t want the fan…so, he broke it
We assume that if the house guest doesn’t want to make use of something in the room, they would leave it alone. Well, not this guy. He had other plans in mind.
“A house guest at my parent’s house stayed in my childhood bedroom. He was a serious drinker, and in the middle of the night, I guess he decided he didn’t want the fan on anymore. Instead of turning the fan off, he broke every fan blade off the ceiling fan and hid them under the dresser.” – Mullinberry
3. She had a bad accident and tried to cover it up
“So this happened around two years ago.
A roommate’s friend stayed over on our futon after a night out. My other roommate and I had never met her until the next morning. I was studying in the kitchen when she came in and asked for a dish towel. I thought that was kind of weird, but I handed her one. Soon after, she left. That was the only interaction I had with her.
We started noticing a really awful smell throughout the house. It smelled TERRIBLE. I went to the bathroom to investigate. The toilet was full of brown, poopy water.
It took several attempts and lots of gagging to unclog it.
We cleaned the bathroom thoroughly and thought that would be the end of it. This was just the tip of the iceberg.
The poop smell lingered over the next few days. We didn’t know what to make of it. One night, after a couple of drinks, we sat down on the futon (on top of the blankets we kept there) with a movie and some chips and salsa. A few minutes into the movie, we started getting whiffs of the smell. They became stronger and stronger. We pulled back the blankets and recoiled in horror at the sight of the ***********.
This chick almost certainly had explosive diarrhea on our futon.
Not only that, she covered it up and didn’t say a word.” merbearr
2. He flipped a plate full of tomato sauce on white carpet…on purpose
“My father-in-law is, unfortunately, a jerk who happened to stay at my home once. My SO and I cooked dinner (it was something with a tomato sauce), and after a dinner full of [my] father-in-law making racist, bigoted statements, we went to clean up. The kitchen sink and dishwasher are maybe 10 feet from where he is sitting. I was taking my plate to the sink while making eye contact with, and talking to, my SO. He apparently held out his plate full of tomato sauce for me to take to the sink [but] I didn’t notice.
After I didn’t take it, his response was to flip the plate upside down onto the white carpet.
He didn’t apologize or say ‘oops’ or try to clean it up. His response was to cross his arms over his fat body and frown. He has not been invited back since, although whenever we’re frustrated we now say ‘Screw it, plate flip.'” – kerithistle
1. She would write rude notes and put them up everywhere
“I have this black sheep sister (for decent reasons) who my parents took in last year for over eight months. She has three kids, and they constantly made messes with no effort to clean them up. She taught her kids (my nephews) to be disrespectful to our family, and things got worse as time went on.
She would put up long-winded notes on the fridge we let her use, saying basically ‘This is food I bought, you are not allowed to use it.’ This would have been fine if she didn’t use our groceries so freely. She was disrespectful, no rent money, and always causing toxic drama. We are currently fighting a custody battle for her youngest son (who has lived with us for over a year).” – whoisnightman
