Whenever I have a guest over, I go the extra mile to make them feel welcome. Or, well, a bit annoyed because I can take hospitality to a whole other level of irritating with how often I ask them if they’d like a snack or a drink or anything else. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for my guest. The harsh truth is, however, not all guests deserve this privilege.
People have been opening up online about the very worst, most horrifying, and downright disrespectful things that guests have done in their homes and Bored Panda has collected their tales to serve as a warning for you. Some of these guests are so jaw-droppingly weird and darn rude that you might even be grateful for social distancing. Upvote the ones that made you go ‘wtf’ as you scroll down.
The scariest part? Some of us have been in similar situations. I know I have. But let’s focus on you, dear Pandas. If you’re up for sharing, let us know all about the rudest guests you’ve ever had over.

One of my ex’s d**che buddies brought over this horrible girl he just started dating. I have a good amount of cats, and they are all insanely friendly. My old man kitty, Buddy, jumped up on the armrest of the couch she was sitting on to check out the newcomer and get some pets. Without missing a beat she shoved him hard to the floor and made a loud “UCK!” sound.
I stood right up, pointed to the door, and sternly said, “He lives here. You don’t. Leave.” Probably not as bad as most here, but it infuriated me. She was never allowed back.

It pisses me off when people go to other people's houses and start complaining about pets/kids/whatever. I don't like dogs, but I have to respect the fact that they're important to my friends, and even more so, the dog lives there and I don't. I can always choose not to go there, though.

When I was at a friend’s birthday party i was told that some guy there had put out a cigarette on the butt of my friend’s cat. I was furious and asked around who it was because I truly wanted to punch him. Nobody wanted to tell me but I heard later that he had left because he was scared of me.

I had a friend live with me for a while and even though I am allergic to cats I allowed her to bring it. Well we ended up kicking her out coz she didn’t pay towards bills and rent like we discussed and also she let her cat s**t on the carpet in the bedroom and didn’t clean it up.

He let my new very old, very deaf foster dog out of the gate on purpose and the dog took off up the street. He just stood there smirking while I grabbed my shoes and keys and after i shouted at him for being a moron, he told me that it was for the best and maybe I should focus my time on other things. I eventually caught up to the terrified and exhausted dog and brought her back home. Told guest to pack his bags and gtfo.

In a pool of broken glass or acid. Don't mess with animals. Once my brother who have strong anger management issues looked "weirdly" at my dog who was at the window barking at an outdoor cat. I just told him very calmly "you touch him, you are dead.", plain and simple. He didn't touch my dog.

Dude. Left my dog with my mom one time. He was a nervous little thing, and I spoiled the crap out of him so he was not exactly a tough dog. He definitely got nervous around dogs bigger than him. My mom apparently thought it'd be funny to drop him over the fence into our neighbor's yard where two larger dogs lived. Yeah, they attacked and bit my baby. I was so pissed. And she didn't tell me about it until I asked about the bite marks.
Any good homeowner will want their guests to feel right at home. It’s the reason why we rush to do the dishes, vacuum the floor, and tidy everything up before someone comes over: we want to make a good impression and for others to relax.
However, no matter how tidy your home, how wide your smile, and how delicious the homecooked dinner you spent hours slaving over the stove on, this won’t magically turn nightmare guests into cordial companions. It’s not about you—it’s about them... and their issues, ill manners, and inability to find the line between being quirky and being disrespectful.

I used to host extravagant yearly parties at my house as a thank you to everyone who worked for me. Significant others were fine, but I stressed that young kids were not welcome, because it was an adult party and the house/garden just weren’t child-friendly.
One of the guests who's a mother decided to bring her 4 children anyway, all under the age of 12, and leave them completely unattended. I walked into my master bedroom halfway through to find they had filled a dirt hole in the garden with water from a hose, made goopy mud pies, stomped around in them, come back inside and crawled into my bed under the covers, and ground their shoes intentionally into my pillow and all the bedding.
They also took all the clothes out of my closet, put them on, threw them on the floor and stepped on those, and ruined two rugs on the way.
The mom's response: "Haha! Well, that's just how kids are, you know. You'll understand once you decide to finally grow up and have some."

That is so disrespectful and that mother should be ashamed of herself. Yes kids can be destructive but bringing kids to an adult only party and then excusing their poor behaviour is appalling. If it was my kids I would have been so embarrassed and I would make them clean up after themselves (with my help).

totally agreed. The party was adults only. The host was nice enough to allow the 4 kids in. But being a kid doesn't mean, you can behave like an idiot. I would make my kids apologize and clean everything up as well. Apparently they were old enought to think. And i wouldn't want my kids to grow up into complete jerks.

I’m a mother of 2, and have over a dozen nieces and nephews. Not one of them ever has or would do anything even remotely close to what those kids did. That’s insane. She probably just lets them run wild because she can’t be bothered to parent.
What makes a good guest? You might as well ask what makes a good person. They’ll be kind and thoughtful. Someone who’s a good conversationalist without hogging the limelight. An individual who appreciates you for inviting them into your home (they have that in common with vampires). Somebody who genuinely wants to do the dishes after dinner (even though we’ll politely say that it’s fine and that we’ll do it instead).
What makes a bad guest? Boundaries—or rather the lack of them. Bad guests are those who are completely unaware of social boundaries, so they trample all over politeness and tap dance over your feelings. However, others aren’t so naive: they know where the boundaries are, they just don’t care.

We(family and I) were going on a trip and we told a family friend he could crash at our house while we gone but he would have to take care of things and pay for his own food and such. Halfway throughour trip we get a call from the police. Apparently he threw a huge party which trashed the house, then proceeded to take one of our cars and drive it through the front of the house, totalling the car and collapsing most of the front wall.
This was last week. We had to cut our trip short and come home to deal with this. We are currently in the process of pressing charges.

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, asks our friend if she's bisexual (she's not). She comes into the kitchen, grabs knives and pretends to stab everyone while doing knife katas.
Later she chases the not bisexual friend all over the house in... a very predatory [manner] - I physically stop her by grabbing her wrists and say, "What the hell is going on with you?" She replies, "Go ahead, break my wrists."
The not bisexual friend (who was so upset she took a self-defense course) made up an excuse to stay in the bathroom for an hour. 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.

In fact, knowing that you’re doing something wrong is somehow even worse than being ignorant of how to behave in civilized company in the first place. The latter can be taught, but the former… well, it’s no longer a question of education but one of changing oneself. And that’s much harder to do than acknowledging that you didn’t know something.

My father-in-law is unfortunately an a**hole who happened to stay at my home once. My significant other and I cooked dinner (it was something with a tomato sauce) and after a dinner full of father-in-law making racist, sexist, bigoted a**hole 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 (i.e. not looking at father-in-law). He apparently held out his plate full of tomato sauce for me to take to the sink right there and 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, "f**k it, plate flip."

My ex-MIL is... let’s just say she makes Trump look like a saint. She adamantly believes everyone is her personal slave and demands everything be done for her. When she’s done eating, she expects her dishes to be cleared the second she’s finished. If you don’t collect her plate in a timely manner, she’ll flip her dishes upside down on the table, scrap food included, so “the critters won’t get into it” while we “rudely procrastinate” (finish eating). She does it at restaurants. She did at our wedding. But the worst? She was the only person we could find to house sit while we went to my grandfather’s funeral in Ireland. We were gone two weeks. Came back to find multiple bowls and plates upside on my great grandmother’s 125 year old dining table. The table was warped beyond salvage. I had just buried my grandfather and she ruined his mother’s table. She couldn’t understand why I was upset. It was just a table.

Friends of a relative stayed the night at our place with their kids while we were out of town. We asked if the children wet the bed so we could put plastic sheets down. They were confident the kids wouldn't wet the bed so we let it be. We come home to find 2 of the beds (new matresses) soaked in pee - not even stripped or changed. The kids had wet the bed in the night, moved to another bed and wet again. 3 weeks later we found used diapers under one of the beds. Never said thank you, never said sorry.

People don't think of pet fish in the same way as cats, dogs, other furries, reptiles and birds... which is wrong. My mother accidentally killed my gold fish one time because she used bleach to clean the gravel in the bowl: she rinsed it thoroughly and filled the bowl with clean water, but even the minute concentration of sodium hypochlorite was enough. And my mother was mortified at what had happened.

Had a party when I was about 15, more jelly and ice cream than shots and going wild as we were fairly sheltered. Somebody brought along their friend, who looked a similar age to us (quite short) but he was actually 23 at the time. He brought along a bottle of vodka and proceeded to drink 3/4 of it within a couple of hours, we're talking 7pm here. Nobody else at the party was drinking at all, just chilling and playing MTG. He proceeded to ignore the two different bathrooms and went into the kitchen, where my parents were trying to avoid cramping my style, and vomited into the kitchen sink all over the plates, and then left without saying anything or helping to clean up.
The following day, he went on facebook and made a number of very cruel personal comments about me, and then when I rang him in tears to tell him to take it down and that he should apologise for the mess he'd made of the kitchen (which I'd had to clean up) he recorded the conversation, uploaded it to youtube and then made great efforts to distribute it on reddit and across facebook. No idea why his embarrassment at being a drunken a** evolved into being a bully, but it's been 10 years and I still avoid him if I bump into him in the street. Psycho creep.
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
Your parents should’ve had some stern words with him, and the kid who brought him. THEY would’ve been the ones to clean up the mess, after making sincerely abject apologies and, if either of them decided to start bullying you, should’ve gotten the police involved. The 23 year old brought alcohol to an underage party, where he could’ve (and may have) offered it to the 15 year olds, or spiked their drinks without their knowledge. Thereby endangering children. Don’t think the cops would’ve looked very favorably on him.

YES - why didn't the parents step in, and why did OP have to clean up and not the friend who brought an adult stranger to a teen party? Why does it sound like the parents gave OP s**t for this happening and made them handle the situation, when clearly neither the set-up of the party nor the direct friends they had invited caused the problem, just this one single gigantic arsehole person that OP didn't even know??! This is not a situation a 15-year old is in any way equipped to navigate and should not be expected to handle. This is where you step in and support your child in setting boundaries and advocating for themselves and just generally help them deal with the situation, especially when it escalates to bullying. The parents failed their job as parents here, badly.

The first method is arguably the easiest: you grit your teeth, wait out the horrible night, and then proceed to never ever ever ever invite them over again. You could say it’s the most zen tactic that proves you’re patient and know not to get yourself worked up over what are ultimately tiny problems. On the flip side, it’s very passive, avoids conflict, and ensures that the rude guest may never learn that they’re behaving in a horrible way.

My friend looked at her [like] she just had a xenomorph chest burster live up to its name right there in the room, got up, grabbed some paper towels, and cleaned it while apologizing to me repeatedly.
He dumped her the next day because the same thing happened at his parents' house. She was a b***h.

Next visit, make reservations for them at the nearest hotel. There seem to be a number of parents who, when visiting the homes of their grown children, act like they own them, so can make the rules!

His guest was playing a game and was so engrossed in the game that he did not get up and go to the bathroom, he just pissed himself while sitting on the couch. This was a grown man of about 38 years old at the time.

Secondly, you can go for the ‘subtle’ approach. Dropping hints that it’s time for your guests to leave. ‘The Week’ writes that turning up the lights and shutting off the music is a sneaky suggestion that the show’s over and that it’s time to pack up and leave (perhaps to never return? We’ll see). Meanwhile, TKC suggests that you start literally tidying up.

My sister and one of her friends were over. Her friend had brought her kid. He was about 7. We left him watching TV in the living room while we had coffee in the other room. Later that evening, I sat on the couch and smelled something absolutely disgusting. I looked behind the couch (it was one of those curved ones that goes into a corner and leaves a nook behind it) and saw a huge pile of diarrhea. It had already fused with the carpet. I had to cut the entire corner of carpet away while wearing a dust mask sprayed with cologne.

What 7 year old dips behind a couch to s**t all over the floor??? I feel like they may have been ignoring him more than OP is stating (he couldn’t find them to ask where the bathroom is). Or he’s just a blossoming psychopath. Either way, if my 8 year old had to poop, he’d interrupt any conversation I or any other adult was having and ask where the bathroom is. WTF

There was clearly somthing clinically wrong with the child. I have a 7yo right now and could not even fathom him doing somthing like this. At the same time, I work and have a long history working with troubled youth. This sort of behavior, while uncommon, isn't unheard of. It can be a sign of abuse or perhaps disabilities. What's not typical is the behavior of the poster (IMHO) in not recognize enormity of that type of behavior and reacting with alarm and concern rather than rage. I've had experience with children doing this sort of thing and it's usually attached to feelings of shame or fear before the act, like being afraid or ashamed to ask for the bathroom for instance. It's not excusable in any way but I can't wrap my head around the poster's reaction.

Sadly, that sounds like a child that was used to sitting in s**t or being uncared for. If ppl ever notice, most of the time, kids that are kept really clean and taught to be clean, will freak the hell out over being covered in diarrhea or something messy like that.
DDmaybeandor 4 years ago
After years of working in foster care for troubled youth I very much believe this child has an emotional or intellectual disability. This is not normal behavior for a 7yo at all. Honestly, is it normal to cut up a carpet because the poop "fused"? Is it the parent's fault for not knowing about it when the home owner didn't know either until later? I find it sad that most people seem to have more compassion for dogs than for children. Especially when it's so obvious that there was somthing wrong with the child.
Mewton’s Third Paw 4 years ago (edited)
I mean that’s cute and everything but being 7 doesn’t give a person a pass to poop on your floor. She didn’t call the child a name. She said she wouldn’t invite them back over essentially. That’s a normal and still compassionate solution. You sound like you think it’d only be compassionate if she didn’t cut the carpet out.

Alright, I'll just say it because many don't have the experience I've had. The last time I saw behavior like this in a child this age was because his dad had been viciously sodomising him for years. He would hide to poop because he was ashamed. He was often anxious or terrified but it wasn't at all obvious. What do you think would have happens to him if his dad caught him acting like anything was wrong? I was friends with the dad for years and knew he had a temper, but had NO inkling of anything at all concerning otherwise. But he video taped it so there's no denying it. Before that, I took care of a child with autism who would pee in things because textures on the way to the bathroom, or noises, or God knows what was unbearable to him. If you ever see somthing like this, rather than being mad please just pay very close attention. It might not be abuse, but somthing is without a doubt going on.

My parents used to host Christmas parties every single year... and most of the guests had 2 to 8 year old kids. I was about 7 then, so my room was full of toys, and literally ten kids would just take over my room and trash it completely, breaking at least 3 toys each time, and of course no one cleaned it up. One of the kids literally bashed their head into the wall once and was shipped off to the hospital... another kid broke the light-up wand my grandma had given me (she lives in Korea) and just snapped it in half, I tried to close the door so they couldn’t get in but the parent guests would actually say I was being rude and let the kids in so they could trash it all over again. Thank god we don’t do those parties anymore, especially since I’m a teenager with PRIVACY.

Why would you cut the carpet? My dog had diarrhea one night and it was crusty when I found it.. Cutting it out never even crossed my mind. How bizarre. (Soaked it in vinegar, cleaned up as much as I could, spayed it with hydrogen peroxide, then washed it with a carpet shampooer 4 times lol)
The_tattered_hippie 4 years ago
This was probably more embarrassment on his part. He probably had to go or had already started to go and didn’t know where the bathroom was or it was too late to get there. That it was behind the couch makes it seem like it was done in shame. I’m sure he told his mom on the way home or when she saw his dirty underwear and asked about it. Then I’m sure she was mortified. Hopefully she settled things with the op.

Roommate's boyfriend comes over drunk. 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 wtf 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 f***ing 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 security deposit money over it.
He was no longer allowed over without her there.

I had a really spoiled princess-type friend who always expected me to cater to her when she would come visit (I didn't really want her to visit, but she'd just announce she was coming and I dealt with it).
One morning she texted me to wake me up, saying "Can you please get up and make me breakfast?"
I wish I could say that was the last straw, but it wasn't until she pitched a fit that I didn't make her a bridesmaid and boycotted my wedding that I finally called it quits.
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
After the first time she pulled that s**t, I would’ve told her to take a hike. I’d even make reservations for her at a motel. The next announcement that she was coming to visit, the first words out of my mouth would be “Great! What hotel are you staying at”? If she just appeared at my door, insisting on staying with me, I’d tell her no, and close the door. I wouldn’t even care how long she stood there before it dawned on her she wasn’t coming inside. If she banged on the door and hollered too long, I’d call the police and act like I didn’t know her and, gee, she must be drunk or high. I also would’ve already changed my phone number, and kept it unlisted, so she couldn’t call me. Buh-bye rich bitch!

Number one: Whenever she announced a visit, you should have said that you were unavailable. Lie through your teeth if you have to. Number two: Don't answer her texts unless you think she is dying. Or dead. Number three: Realize that she did you a favour by boycotting your wedding. Number four: Good riddance. These are all written somewhat tongue in cheek. But, good on you for getting rid of her.

My ex-best friend and I severed our friendship over something similar. I was living in Idaho at the time and had saved enough to go to Vegas for my 21st birthday and met my two best friends (who lived in CA) out there... Long story short, one of the "friends" showed up already drunk, made the entire night about her, and ordered room service right before we were about to go out and celebrate my birthday so we had to stay behind. My BF at the time finally had enough, told her she was selfish, and that it was time for her to leave. I haven't spoken to her since...

All my friends know that I am a super nice friend but the moment I look at them in the eye and asks "whut?", that's the time they knew they did something wrong...so this friend here can't just boss me around.
Third of all (and something that I have particular trouble with but that I know works like a charm) it’s all right being direct. Some guests are either thickheaded or are trying to take advantage of your hospitality (who doesn’t like an open bar, good company, and a comfy couch?). There’s no other way around it than to tell them that it’s time to leave.

We were going out of town for the weekend and a friend asked if he could stay at our house, since he lived with his parents in the country and it saved tremendously on the commute to his job, plus that way he could actually go to a party and drink with the option of taking a cab ride home that didn't cost close to a hundred bucks. I jokingly said, "Just as long as you don't nail a one night stand in my bed." and he waved it off since he didn't have much luck with the ladies, plus he planned on sleeping on the couch anyway.
From what I could tell when I came home afterward, there was a fermenting/rotting glass of our best liquor stash in my bedroom. He was thoughtful enough to not want to leave a water ring on our St. Vinnie's dresser, so he used a white silk shirt from my drawer as a coaster for their red whatever drink he had concocted.
Then, judging by the state of my bedsheets, which he had not bothered to change, he and his lady friend slaughtered a chicken together in bed. When I brought up these facts, he basically acted like I was a b***h for not being happy that he got laid.

My roommate had a friend who was akin to Lennie in Of Mice and Men, just not a smart guy, super slow, no idea how he made it through his teen years at this point. This guy is over all the time and constantly doing stupid s**t mostly while doing drugs or just not thinking ahead of time. Well, I had a cat that was sort of pushed on me by someone else because they couldn't look after it, so somehow after saying I would just look after it for 2 weeks, I end up just keeping the cat because the girl who said it was temporary was a liar. This cat is growing up nicely but it is strictly an indoor cat. We are next to a major roadway, it wasn't a great part of town, and I just didn't want the cat going out anyways. Anyways, this dumb f**k that is my roommates friend ends up getting high on mushrooms and starts trying to tell me how it was horrible to cut the cat's balls off. I am like WTF are you talking about, we had to get the cat fixed, he then proceeds to let the cat out later that night saying he was free from the evil tyranny of my grasp or something. Guess f***ing what, the cat got run over. F**k you Charlie.

The front door to my house has a key code instead of a standard key lock. A few years ago i was away from home and my buddy texted me asking for the code because he had forgotten a sweater or something at my house a few days prior. It wasn't a big deal, I’ve known him since middle school, and he's one of my best friends.
I told him just to go in because my other roommate was gone for the night. I get a call around midnight from my friend, he was f**ked up, and told me that he had some people over at my house and it got a little out of hand, and it had turned into a full blown party. I was so f**king mad, but i couldn't get home till the next day.
My place was pretty wrecked, and i found a bunch of weird s**t in my bathroom. Cut up soda cans, baking soda etc. I called my friend to see what the f**k happened, and I guess some dude was cooking crack in my bathroom.

But won’t they get offended if you tell them that the party’s over and that it’s time they hit the road? Well, that depends on how you phrase it. If you snap, start foaming at the mouth, and shout them out of your home, of course, that’s not the best way to solve the situation. But if you politely but firmly tell them that the evening is over and thank them for coming over (without making promises about the future), they’re likely to leave.

They seemed to break or ruin everything:
•they broke our toilet
•they put a hole in the wall
•they allowed their toddler to eat spaghetti on our white sofa, it spilled everywhere and they just turned the cushion over.
•our bathroom lock broke clean off
•there was a giant gouge out of our new kitchen counter.

My wife's cousin plopped her big, crusty feet on our coffee table and sprayed them down with an anti-fungal spray. And then when we're having our (very small) wedding reception at our house she sat there and asked very loudly if ours was a shotgun wedding because she thought she noticed a bump on my wife(who was just a little curvy while the cousin is morbidly obese). And then a few years later she was sitting on our couch farting up a storm when she suddenly had to get up and rush to the bathroom. I just happened to look up and to my horror saw a black streak running down her ass. We had to get new couch cushions.

Being honest doesn’t mean being tactless. However, sometimes it’s time to put tact to the side when your rude guest keeps telling you “just say when and I’ll go home,” knowing perfectly well that most people are too timid to tell them, “It’s time.” You can be upfront and say that you’re tired and need to get some sleep. Or you can be diplomatic and invent an early work meeting for the next day to serve as your excuse.

I'm throwing a party, and a friend of a friend clogs the upstairs toilet. He plunges it, a little too violently, and the back of the tank hits the wall. The bottom of the tank drops off, causing all the water to come out on to the floor. He doesn't know how to shut off the water, so it continues to fill up the bathroom.
Eventually it floods into my closet, and into an air vent. From here it makes its way to two spots, my basement floor, and a nice big pool on top of my kitchen ceiling. This is when he finally tells me we have a problem, and the water gets shut off. Shortly thereafter, the kitchen ceiling collapsed. He didn't even offer to help clean up.

You do not owe this relative anything, including access to your home. I would be civilised to him if I were forced to be at a social function with him but would NEVER give him the chance to f*ck me over again. Good thing husband is supportive.

I was throwing a birthday party for my daughter at our house and we have a septic system. Well rule #1 of a septic is you don't flush anything other than toilet paper. EVER. Well during the party i guess a bunch of people started flushing baby wipes down the toilet. Long story short, our septic started backing up in the middle of the party and after that it all turned to s**t.

What do you think ?

I need a post about polite people and considerate houseguests now, to get over the horrors of what I've just read.

We had a friend stay with us years ago when he was trying to get sober. He was polite, clean, and never disrespected us or our house. He left in a better state than he’d arrived, unfortunately he didn’t stay clean long and we’re no longer friends. Despite what he was going through (opioid withdrawal can be wretched), he offered to do dishes, cleaned up after himself and voiced his gratitude so much we had to ask him to stop. I wish him well, he was really the only person we’ve had stay over.

Why do people put up with these kind of behavior?? I've kicked people out of my house for a lot less, with the following 'you're never setting foot in my house again' speech. I'd rather be rude and mean than put up with idiots in my house.

Most of these were people tossing people out at the first offense unless it happened when they werent home. But for the couple that seemed like they let it happen, I agree.

When we got a new washing machine years ago, the delivery guys (one was a friend, the other a worker from the store) brought a girl with them. Th GF of the worker. My (late) kitty used to always greet visitors, just stare at them from the hallway and the girl was outside the flat. She said she would throw her out the window. I told her I will do the same to her if she does not F off right now. Nobody threatens my kitties, especially not in my own home.

What is up with people messing with other people's pets? I don't like pets, that's why I don't have any, but it's basic fckn education not to mess with other peoples pets/kids/stuff while you're a guest!

My daughter's christening. I had put her to bed and some friends had stayed over late. One of them got pissed and we caught him upstairs peeking round her bedroom door. We warned him not to disturb and stay downstairs. I later hear my husband roar and this guy is almost pushed down the stairs by my furious husband. He was caught in my daughter's room bending over her cot with a can of lager in his hand. We called a cab for him and paid for it, to take him home. He opened the door of the cab when it was at the end of the road, jumped out and tried to get back into our house. He did come back the next day to apologise but I made it clear that I never wanted to see him or have him around my daughter ever again.

The first handful of posts I'm seeing involve animals so I don't know if I can even read these. I have a hard time reading about animals getting hurt.

Yeah, I go from zero to fury in a heartbeat on those.

I had a good friend who got kicked out of her apartment. She had 4 cats and couldn't take them to a motel. I took all 4 cats in. ( I live in a tiny basement) she promised to provide food, clean litter box etc. Didn't see her for 3 months. The cats had destroyed all my precious plants and damaged furniture. She never paid me what she said she would for cat food/ supplies. Finally told her to come get them. No apologies, no refund, nothing but silence. I just feel bad for the cats...they were rehomed. I can only assume almost anyone would take care of them better than her.
