34 Stories About The Worst Things Guests Did, Told By Users Of This Online Community
When people have guests over, they want to be welcoming and make them feel comfortable. A typical phrase said at such occasions is “Make yourselves comfortable.” Even if a host says that, a guest comes to someone’s home and tries to be considerate and treat the home better than they would their own.
There are people who may take the phrase too literally and feel like they are the masters of the house and the hosts are their servants. While experiencing such situations is truly unpleasant, reading them is quite amusing as people come up with all sorts of things and are oblivious to doing something wrong.
Redditors shared their stories in a thread when Mr_Yus_uwu asked “What was the worst thing your guest did when they took "Make yourself at home" very literally?” We would like to hear what you think of these stories, so upvote the ones you found most baffling. And please do share your own in the comments.

Had an aunt come stay with us for a short amount of time when I was about 8, my parents let her stay in my bedroom. She decided on day two that she wanted to “help me decorate” and basically turned my bedroom into her own room. She took me shopping, and denied every single thing I picked out, but whatever, I could change it when she was gone. A couple days later, I came home from school and all my stuffed animals were gone. I used to empty the claw machine at this one restaurant/bar my parents went to on a regular basis, so there was probably close to a hundred stuffed animals in my collection. When she told me she’d thrown them out, I lost it. I went off on her, telling her to get the f**k out of my house, crying hysterically.
My dad made his only sister go find a hotel for the last bit of her vacation, and 18 years later, I haven’t seen her since.
Good for you and your dad. I bet it's worth every single minute of those 18 years
When I was 13 years old my mom's sister came to visit. She prowled around my room and decided she wanted to take all of my 45 records with her when she left. I had about 40 of them because my dad had owned a bar and gave me a bunch from the jukebox. I was at school when she left and no one had said anything to me. I was beyond angry and devastated that they stole my records. One of the records was a special edition purple record of When Doves Cry by Prince, to this day, 30+ years later, she still says she has my records packed in a box, and has said so the entire time, but she can't be bothered to give them back. My dad died a few years after she took them and I really would've liked to have them. Some people are just shît.
Load More Replies...Good for your dad for sticking up for you! I know it had to be traumatic to lose everything that was important to you to a rude house guest.
You should never force a child to give up their bedroom for a guest. The guest either takes the couch or the master bedroom if there’s no guest room. Your child deserves privacy so they shouldn’t have to give up their room for a visiting relative.
The f*****g couch it is....I wouldn't give up my bed for anyone...you are guest and most probably uninvited yhen the couch it is...or the air mattress on the living roomfloor...s**t.

My husband’s old friend stayed with us for two weeks while we were living in Japan. He was very smug and irritating; an instant ‘expert’ on Japan after a few days, when we had been living there for two years.
Finally, finally he left on a Friday. My husband and I had separate plans on Saturday. I returned in the afternoon to an unlocked door and the sound of the TV. I thought hubby had returned early.
Nope. It was Old Friend - thinking we had gone for the weekend, he had broken into our apartment for an extra two-night stay.
“You weren’t supposed to be here!” he protested - and he refused to leave until my husband came back home and told Old Pal personally that he had overstayed his welcome.
This goes way beyond being a terrible guest. Breaking and entering is a crime. I can't imagine there are many things Old Pal wouldn't do, if he considers B&E acceptable.
Wow. The lion, the witch, and the audacity of that b****. Unbelievable.
If the "friend" was so irritating, maybe a cop would be interested in the breaking and entering charge. That'd stop the freeloader.
My thoughts exactly. Once he refused to leave its time to call the cops.
Load More Replies...This is why we always made temp codes for our doors when we had friends making short terms stays with us. We would immediately change it when they left, not to be rude, but to make sure we didn't have too many people with the door code. Of course, it helps prevent snoopy friends, neighbors, and guests from randomly stopping in too!
"and he refused to leave....." At that moment, she should have called the Police and jerkwad would have had his Japan vacation extended but not in a way he'd like.
My relative stayed with my grandma and proceeded to burn the house to the ground by deciding to have a bon fire 3 feet from the side of the house.
If it’s the worst so far, and it’s number one, then I’m afraid to see the rest
Load More Replies...What the heck?!? What an idiot! I hope Gramma is insured. Then again, the lifetime of photographs/memorabilias/etc that she had saved are all gone.
I thought there would be a limit for the stupidity of idiots but I guess I was wrong..
Some people shouldn't be allowed to handle any form of machinery beyond possibly a pencil sharpener and this person is one of those.
I had guests turn the pool heater on in February and not turn it off or tell me it was on. I noticed steam coming off the pool a week later and it was 90*F. The bill was just under $1000.
Probably someone with no concept of how expensive it is to heat a pool. Only in my dreams could I afford one. I could build it, but I couldn't run it
In my 'if I win the lottery' fantasies, I would have a heated pool....... that would be converted to a tropical fish pond I could swim in. Because if you're going to dream, might as well dream big.
Load More Replies...Not a guest, but we once had an exterior house washer who - I don’t know how - managed to leave the outdoor spigot on. For 3 days. It was only because I kept hearing a weird sound coming from the walls on that side of the house, that we discovered it. 35,000 gallons above and beyond our normal usage. In 3 days. We got the utility company to do a one-time reduction to 50% of the bill. Still cost a couple of thousand dollars. We used Angie’s List, and they don’t allow you to know the name of the company you used, so there was no way to even contact the company for some reimbursement. Thank god we didn’t live in California anymore at that time!
You could send them the bill but they wouldn't pay it. I would certainly let them know about it, and if they don't at least offer to pay I would put them on the "former friends" list.
I think this is the best course of action. Let them know about it and see if they offer to pay.
Load More Replies...Charge them the bill. They won't do it again. And if they do send them the bill again with an added annoyed host tax
Somebody did that to my parents and they forwarded the bill, which the " guests" paid .
I hope you created an invoice with a letter from an attorney! The audacity!
An in-law took about a 28 minute shower after I explained we were in the middle of a drought and that our well was dangerously low. I’m assuming it was going to be a 30 minute shower but we ran out of water.
I hope you took every opportunity to remind them of it. "Well I'd make you a drink, but we have no water". "No the salad hasn't been washed because we have no water". "No we can't flush the toilet, because you took all the water".
And they very much deserve all the chastise
Load More Replies...Wow. I've lived in drought countries and my standard was to put the shower on long enough to get wet, then turn the water off. Then lather up from head to toe. Then water on to rinse and that's it.
That's how I do it and we've never had a drought. No point in wasting water.
Load More Replies...I think I would have been knocking on the door after 5 minutes and saying "AS WE DISCUSSED...
And literally shutting off the water after 10 minutes... but maybe the guest did it while the owners were out.
Load More Replies...That's like going into someone's bunker in the apocalypse and taking their last can of beans
whether there's drought or not, none need to take a shower for a whole 30 minutes, unless you are Andy Dufresne that just crawled out of prison through the sewer
Think I'd figure out how to shut the hot water off going to the shower. That'd be a nice wake up call.
I don't understand how anyone can spend longer than 10 minutes in the shower.
How on earth did I get downvoted for that? Does someone have 11 minute showers and resent people questioning it?
Load More Replies...Wow. 30 minute showers are normal for me but you literally told them about your situation. Couldn’t they hurry up or skip the shower?
I was thinking the same thing about myself about 30 min showers being the norm😬
Load More Replies...I stayed in a castle-turned hostel in Ireland. We had a token for the shower that would last one minute. Once you know you have one minute, it was surprisingly long. This is a long-winded way of saying, one-minute showers are possible.
I remember in some camps that showers were monitored and limited to three minutes each. I was able to make it out with a minute to spare. I do enjoy my hot showers though, and have spent most of my life in places wet enough to not really impact anything with a 15 minute shower. Still, I could probably do a minute, but I would definitely prefer it be broken into two 30 second parts. Also, Ireland takes water conservation seriously. It's a little ironic that an island that gets nine months of rain is better at conserving water than the literal middle of the desert in the US, and I'm not talking this one case but people in California with freaking lawns...

Dinner guest asked to stay overnight because of the snow (which wasn’t forecasted until much later that night). Spouse and I agreed as we didn’t have work the next day. But guest did - and at 7:30 in the morning he was freaking out because we hadn’t shoveled the driveway for him yet. “How am I supposed to get to work on time?!”
The only possible response to that is indeed, to hand him the shovel.
Load More Replies...well, if we had a guest, my husband would have actually gotten up to shovel so the guest, who I am assuming is a friend, could get out. We'd need to clear our drive anyway. Who treats friends so shabbily? We'd not have anyone at our house who would think it was our responsibility, though. Any friend of ours would have known he had to get up early and get himself out. In the case of normal people staying, they'd both shovel the drive and get friend out on time. Works goes fast when two do it.
You are the epitome of grace. That's thoughtful of you. I was taken aback by his assumption that it would be done for him.
Load More Replies...Twerp is too mild; please consider upgrading to jerk! 🙃🙂🙃
Load More Replies...Give him the shovel and let him do the work, and blacklist him from staying at your place.
My wife 3 days ago.
Tasked with feeding her friends cat while they're away for a week.
They said help yourself to whatever you like.
She came home with their waffle maker.
Pretty sure it meant she could score a couple of their Tim tams not make off with their appliances
As the OP is her partner, and he/she is appalled by it, I'm sure they had some talk about it and it was returned.
Load More Replies...Did she just intend on borrowing it because it was her good friend who she knew would have said “yes, of course, you don’t even need to ask?”. I need more context before I cast judgement on this one.
@Stoopham that's exactly what I was thinking, like "of course you can borrow that or that, I'm not home and will use it anyway". So I don't think this is such a weird thing "a guest would do"
Load More Replies...Tim Tams means it's in Australia, right? Anyway - I hope the husband made her take it back.
Has she stolen other things? I would definitely be very cautious around a spouse who has made it plain stealing is not an obstacle to acquisition.
That is not how 'helping yourself to whatever you like' works at all.
I let my sister stay at my house after her breakup. She told my 5 year old to clean up his "f**king bath toys". They were in HIS bathroom that we let her use as well.
That's not even the half of it I don't speak to her anymore
Possibly why she's broken up. I think she was the same with her SO and he couldn't take it anymore and kicked her to the curb.
Load More Replies...Sometimes, family can be toxic and it really is better to cut ties. Sounds like your son is much better off without this sweet auntie in his life.
My sister applied for college late and they didn't have a dorm room for her. We offered to let her stay with us for a few weeks until one opened up. She did the dishes and laundry for us, but anything I did or said was met with scathing sarcasm and snide remarks. After week two of being verbally abused, I turned to her and told her "Enough! I am not going to be talked to like that in my own house! I've asked you repeatedly to stop! You may be my sister, but I am not obligated to give you a place to stay. Get your stuff and get out!" She sat in her car and cried. I went and talked to her and she said she realizes her mouth gets her in trouble and she's not sure why she does it. I know why..because our mother spent the past 40 years doing it to her. She got counseling and started going to church. Glad to say, we get along great now.
I just can't get my head round a five year old having their own bathroom!
It was probably the second bathroom, i.e, not the one in the master bedroom that the parents used. Used by the kid(s) and any guests.

My grandma offered to make him a sandwich. A little while later he said, where is that sandwich coming from, South Dakota? Guess he thought it was taking too long. 35 years later i still think about that a**hole sometimes and wonder wtf was he thinking? Just how could you say that to someone's grandmother you just met? He was my cousin's dorky boyfriend's friend. I was about 13 yo and appalled. My grandmother was the sweetest woman and an amazing hostess.
There’s plenty of elderly people who deserve disrespect. Not for taking too long to make a sandwich you offered to make, but for being demanding, racist, misogynistic, etc
Load More Replies..."You want pulled pork? I'll give you pulled pork!" Only really works if a guy is saying it, though.
Load More Replies...If I think something is taking too long, I genuinely offer to help. To be honest, I offer to help from the start. I tend to feel a bit guilty when someone is doing something for me and I didn't/can't contribute in some way
I think I would have called out to Grandma in the kitchen "Sorry, Gran! He said he isn't hungry anymore and doesn't need anything, thank you!" Then turned and looked pointedly at Mr. A-hole.
The flip side: in 1967, my father's friend Bill sent his 12-year-old son to stay with us. Grandma was also visiting and fixed the young man a sandwich with all the trimmings. When I next saw him, it was 1989 and he remembered the exact layout of that plate of food (it was her unique way of presenting pickles, etc.).
I hope the cousin's boyfriend's friend's mother's stepmother's receptionist's water cooler's cat, was kicked out and never heard from again.
People, when everyone gets that deer in the headlight looks when someone does something so rude, ACT on it, don't just sit there. Someone should have made him leave! I know my family hates making scenes, but sometimes, you just HAVE to.

My ex husband had a less than savory friend. He walked into my home once, helped himself to my fridge without asking and then when he got himself some silverware, had the audacity to insult it and say it looked like something a grandmother would have. Well yes, yes it does, since it's hers and she gave it to me.
Another time he went to my MIL's house when we told him we didn't want to hang out. We weren't even home yet! He came in, say down, ordered a pizza that he refused to share with my MIL or BIL, and just sat there watching TV for two hours until we got back from whatever we were doing.
He was a grade A a**hole. F**king hate you, Craig.
And the in-laws didn't kick his sorry butt right out for his antics?
Some times elderly people lose their skills in these situations
Load More Replies...F*ck you Craig. (If my step father was on this site he would understand my little reference there :)
Craig, you may now go straight to hell. Do not pass, Go; do not collect 200, either.
Wow! How could you MIL or BIL not kick him out or call the police for trespassing? He could have used a few hours behind bars. Jail cells are very accommodating.
I had a longtime friend who was just sort of chaotic and oblivious as a teen, super messy bedroom, yadda yadda pretty normal for a teenager. But as we all got older she never seemed to grow out of any of it. So by the time we are in our late 20s, I started to dread getting together with her because just getting together for dinner or drinks on Friday meant essentially committing to her staying the entire weekend. The final straw came one Monday when I had to get up to go to work (I was also a full time student) and she was still hanging out. I told her goodbye and made it clear I wasn't coming back because I had plans after work. When I finally got home that evening, the house was in shambles. She'd managed to tear down the shower curtain, just leaving it hanging. She had apparently worn a pair of my favorite slippers, fluffy pink pigs, and managed to rip the tail off one, which she just left lying there on the floor. Dirty dishes, of course.
This was the same woman who managed to catch my favorite sweater (hand knit by a former BF's mother) ON FIRE at a bonfire. Burning a giant hole (hand sized) and leaving it covered in scorch marks. She actually tried to hide it by I think putting it back folded.
The final straw came at an event for her parents where I was helping out and she literally snapped her fingers at me and told me to "get back to work" when I was having a smoke in the backyard with some other friends. I just never spoke to her again.
Oh hell no, not the hand knitted s**t! I knit both casually and professionally and that takes an immense amount of time and talent to make. I would have absolutely flipped if someone did that to me and taken them to court for all the lost hours of labor she burned up!
I've ended strained friendships over little things. No fuss, no worry.
You are very kind and patient. Me, not so much, anymore. I had some friends over and we had a good time, no booze involved, just good conversation. It was late when they were ready to leave and asked if they could spend the night. I was uncomfortable with it, but I thought about it, and asked myself “ who can you be upset with if you say yes”, and the answer was “me”. I sent them on their merry way, and we remained friends. It took me years to learn how to say no. Now, back to homegirl who snapped her fingers at you: that would have been my cue to put down her s**t, pick up my s**t, and get the he*ll out!
"friend" she sounds more like a jealous B**ch that pretends to be friend and when you are not around she'll try to destroy all the things you like and then distort reality in to an accident she couldn't prevent... ripping the tail out of favourite Slippers, burning a very much loved sweater destroying the bathroom.. doesn't sound like something a "normal" messy person would do without intent.
My brother's best friend came to live with us for "a few months" because he wanted to move back to our state. My parents agreed because he was supposed to go to college and they believe college education is important. Well 8 years later and he is still there, all my parent's children have moved out but for some reason my brother's best friend is still living there.
Partially? How aboot totally... There's kindness and there's raising a cuckoo's child.
Load More Replies...There's a bit more info on the original Reddit post.
Load More Replies...From reddit: Yes he gets along with my parents. However, I purposely moved out soon after he moved in. He helps with the dogs and yard work/snow shovel. However if he left my parents can downsize and not have to worry about it. My parents are just so used to it by now. My brother moved in with his fiance at the start of the pandemic and he just kind of stayed. They are very non-confrontational people and dont have it in them to tell him to get out. There have been some issues lately that they had to have several conversations with him. Word on the street is he may be leaving soon.
Think he’s planning on inheritance, whether offered or stolen.
Load More Replies...Unless he is paying rent and helping the parents, I would be very worried, because there is something wrong with this picture. It's your brother's responsibility to build a fire under his BFF and get him out of there... he could be spending your parents nest egg.
I don't know about that. My parents stopped feeding a feral cat so they could try to lure her into a trap and get her spayed, and it didn't work. She just started hunting. It was easier trapping the males in the neighborhood and having them neutered to reduce the chances of her getting pregnant.

A friend brought a friend to my house. She and I were preparing food for us to have a meal and he wandered into the kitchen and said "Your computer has a password on it - I can't get on there."
Or as my siblings and I used do say...No Duh Blaah!
Load More Replies...never bring an uninvited guest without clearing it first! what is wrong with people
My bestie came to visit me and brought another friend who I also know. Other friend complained nonstop about my guest bed, the pillows, my cooking, etc. Then she called someone she knew in town and asked if she could take my car (our only car) to visit her other friend. I said no because we planned to use it, so she got an Uber to go hang with other people, then decided to stay the night with them because she didn't like what I was cooking for dinner. Rude!!!
Came home, sitting in his boxers on my kitchen counter washing his feet and trimming toenails in my sink has got to take the cake.

My ex-BIL plopped himself and a plate of bbq ribs on my nice, cream-colored sofa, and he proceeded to chow down. He used the sofa as a napkin, spilled the meat on the sofa, and I kid you not, I actually had bbq sauce on the ceiling above where he was sitting. HOW do you get that stuff up there?
Here I am, two decades later, and I still have not figured that one out.
This sounds deliberate to me... and I am surprised no one spoke up before or during the act. I used to have a white linen couch, and if I saw you headed anywhere near it with food I would immediately direct you to the dining table. I would even tell my friends they couldn't let their kids have juice boxes in there.
Willful and deliberate: let's see how rotten I can be...I love being spoiled!
This is why I have a dog. If you eat at the table he won't bother you. Eat on the couch and he will snatch yo ribs up
He got extremely drunk, told us "Stop me when I start making comments about the Jews," and proceeded to fall all the way down the racism tree hitting every major branch on the way.
That's the last time I host a Christmas party with beer, let me tell you.
A self-aware racist? I would have shown him the door before he got to the end of the sentence, and deleted his contact info before he hit the street.
Drunk or not, that guy is the same racist 24-7. I'd blacklist him, just in general.
Instead of banning beer why don't you try not inviting arseholes to your place?
I love your description of him falling down the racist tree, hitting every branch on the way down. Too bad one of those branches didn't impale him!
Redecorated the house with religious artifacts. Am an atheist.
As with most overzealous cultists, they start dumping their propaganda at around the hour mark. I have religious family members who don't even mention it once, and that's how it should be. Mutual respect on both sides for each other's choices in life
Load More Replies...I had some acquaintances who would openly talk about "saving" coworkers and friends by sticking religious tracts all over the place, and they would do things like give Jewish colleagues crucifixes as a housewarming gift, but I don't think they ever actually redecorated.
Giving Jewish colleagues a crucifix is beyond rude. They wouldn't be colleagues for long

Had a friend stay until he found a job and got on his feet. He never applied anywhere, or tried to leave our couch at all. Another friend offered him an interview and he purposely blew it because he didn’t like that job. He was mean to my puppy and sat in our house all day while we worked and never offered to take her out or anything. The worst though is when he started blaring the tv at 5am. I mean literally almost as loud as the tv would go. And he was always f**king watching Scrubs. He left around a month and a half later after he ran out of money from ordering food for every meal and not leaving our house. He then made a post on Facebook about how the city defeated him and it didn’t work out lol
Mean to your puppy and he left only when he decided to leave? Grow some ball. I'd throw him out of window, don't mess with my dog
Exactly. Like if you’re mean to my animals or my kids you’ll be lucky if you make it out breathing.
Load More Replies...I can't believe these posts... no one has the stones to speak up about this stuff? Mean to my puppy would have gotten you a clip round the ear before I threw you out the front door, but to put up with this s**t for six weeks??? Unbelievable.
Mean to the puppy? I’d kick his ass and then kick him out. And then kick him once more for good measure.
Expose him. If no one believes you, you have probably taken pictures of him living like a pig in your house
You mess with my dog, you'll be on your *ss on the pavement with a sore jaw 5 seconds later, friend or not.
The moment someone would be mean to one of my puppies the moment this person would be out of the house. My doggies live there. They are family. Who does not respect them can not stay inside!
I got my guest settled on the couch for the night, and I woke up to them right next to me, and sound asleep in my bed.
Hopefully sleepwalking? (But if it was the doggo in the stock photo, that’d be 100% OK!) 🤣
I did that once, stayed over at my friends house, went to the toilet in the middle of the night and climbed back in bed with her housemate, that just moved in and didn't know either of us yet. She couldn't wake me and had to wake my friend to come get me.
If the guest was a dog then that's totally adorable! If not... yikes.
Picked up sister and BIL from airport and dropped them off at my house before taking my preschool kid to a doctor’s appointment. Told them to make themselves at home, we’ll be back in 2 hours. They at all the snacks in the entire house, including 10 brand new boxes of Girl Scout cookies. At least 2 months worth of snacks. They laughed and said they “just couldn’t help themselves since they don’t have junk food in at home”.
Worst part? Girl Scout cookie season had ended two days before. All those delicious Thin Mints, gone.
10 boxes of cookies plus everything else, they literally made a beeline for the kitchen at breakneck speed upon entering and just stuffed their faces non stop for 2 hours.
"don't have junk food in at home" means don't eat all of someone elses. People are awful.
Is it even possible to eat two months worth of snacks in two hours? Has your sister always been rude?
This. This right here is why my children and all children at family gatherings eat 1st. All of this. My husband's sisters Re f*****g horrible. They really don't even care. They will even pick off of a kids plate while their not looking if you let them. It's horrific to watch. Like no. Your full grown. Buy your own food. Imbeciles. I try to be nice but uts sooooooooo hard.
Girl Scouts sell cookies for a really limited amount of time; day is just three days from now and I’ll be stockpiling the ones that have fluffy peanut butter under chocolate!
Load More Replies...For those who don't know, Keebler Grasshopper cookies are a very good substitute for Thin Mints, with year-round availability and much more reasonable prices.
I suspect they didn’t all get eaten. I’ll bet they had them stashed away in their luggage ready for late night, trip home, and snacks after that.

The $900 phone sex bill. It was the early 90's and the bill came on paper and was about 100 pages.
I let a guy stay in my house for a month while he was in summer school and I was going to be gone half the summer. He would call while black out drunk. Other than this, he was an excellent houseguest. He even told me that they were going to be these phone bills coming and that he would pay for it but we had no idea that it was going to be almost $1,000
The reason the bill was 100 pages was because each of the 1-900 numbers operated as individual little telephone companies that generated a separate bill for their services, so that $900 bill was about 50 separate bills printed individually that were bundled together by my local provider.
If I didn't pay that bill somehow they were never going to let me have a telephone again. I was able to call some of the customer service departments and get some of the bills cancelled or reduced. My house guest coughed up $500 and gave me a CD player and a PlayStation and a TV
I'm so glad they don't have those 976 sex lines anymore. My then-in-laws took in my then-husband's friend because we didn't have room for him and his girlfriend threw him out. They were really nice people and knew him since he was a kid. He ran up their phone bill and they kicked him out. Not sure if he ever paid them back.
My son racked up $90 calling one of those lines when he was about 9. He was so little that I hope that whoever he called just laughed and did not do any sex talk with him. He never said what they talked about. In fact, he almost acted like he barely remembered it, so hopefully no harm done. It was at my Mom's house. She was none too pleased (mainly from embarrassment).
Load More Replies...A boy in my class got is so much trouble for racking up a huge phone bill because of those types of calls. He was 13 or 14 at the time.
I got a bill from when I was on vacation and my boyfriend was at the apartment on his own. There were these repetitive numbers, either 999 or 666 but I had no idea what it was. I called and thru a thick accent was told it was a SIX line. I apologize and said I have no idea what a six line is. She said it's a six line and I said yes I understand that but I don't know what a six line is. Took about 5 minutes before I understood the word she was saying was SEX. It took so long because I didn't even know these lines existed. Too bad I didn't notice that as a red flag.
My sister had a deadbeat friend who stayed with us for months and wouldn't leave. These were the days when long distance calls were very expensive. She ran our bill up, as well as our mom's. She also made calls from my aunt's phone. She didn't have permission from any of us to make these calls. The most she ever paid us was $10. We had to come up with the money to pay all those bills.
He couldn't pay the bill but could give you a PlayStation, CD player and tv? I'd seriously have been questioning where they came from.
Probably things he already owned. Guy was an idiot (maybe don't get blackout drunk if you know you have bad habits, or, you know, at all) but I wouldn't assume he was a criminal. Also, in the 90's those three things would have been worth probably $300 tops, so it's totally reasonable that he could have saved to afford them beforehand but only have $500 available otherwise.

Closed my bedroom door with me inside it as if to say "you'll go to bed now". I don't know why, but this triggered me.
Yeah....that's a nope. I'll close my own bedroom door. My own husband doesn't close it cause it's a trigger unless he tells me he is closing it for said reason.
Load More Replies...I would have reopened the door and said "I like it airy and spacious. You know what would make it even more spacious? If you left...like right now."
Hope you didn't have ten boxes of Girl Guide Cookies in the kitchen go missing.
Umm... maybe it was like 2 in the morning, and they had to work the next day? Assuming you were the guest... Still kinda odd....
these are stories about guests from the people who live at the residencies, so someone (who does not live there) closed their door of OP's room. in OP's own house. even if it was 2 am, the person who closed the door has no right to do that in someone else's home. (just clarifying politely here, not trying to say "you're wrong" or anything rude)
Load More Replies...That's triggering for me. I would've popped out and told him/her to get the fūck out of my house.
Had someone my Mom knew from work stay with us for a while when they were having a divorce. They were all around kinda scummy but the thing that really set us off was that we caught him and his new girlfriend feeding random crap to our dog. When I caught them they were tossing him chicken bones from KFC which can be really dangerous for dogs.
It's "SAY GOODBYE 🔫" TO WHOEVER ABUSES ANIMALS *starts chainsaw*
Load More Replies...A lot of people don't know what food is bad for dogs - this doesn't sound malicious
Only the owner should feed their dogs because they know their history. Some dogs are allergic to certain foods so besides the bones being bad for them, they could have had a really bad reaction if they were allergic to chicken.
Load More Replies...It doesn't matter. You should never feed an animal you don't own. You never know what could be bad for them and you could cause serious damage.
Load More Replies...This one has me torn. They sound more ignorant than mean. Were they actually trying to harm the dogs, or did they just not know any better.?
Don't they know that chickens have small bones that could choke the dog? Idiots. Hope they told them to leave, right after that.
I would have ripped them a new one and tossed them out immediately.
My father in law was staying with us for a month, he lived in Oman. The spare room was an office with a sofa bed in so it could double up for guests. He bought a double bed and got rid of the sofa bed. I lost my office.
The FIL probably asked the store, if they can pick-up the sofa bed, upon delivery of the bed.
Load More Replies...I would have asked him how he was planning to get his bed back to Oman while handing him the bill for the sofa bed.
May I just point out - next to the bed is the tiniest rug I’ve ever seen.
I'm cracking up at your comment🤣 It may be a prayer rug but your observation gave me a good laugh.
Load More Replies...I see a lot of guests do this. "What? Where was I supposed to sleep? You can get a new one."
I’ve had relatives eat all the food in our fridge, use our house to play host to people they know in our city. They also broke our screen door and had no remorse whatsoever. It was presented as “oh your screen door is broken!”
When I was a kid we had house "guests" whose kids hung our cat and unplugged a freezer full of meat and spoiled it all.
HUNG YOUR CAT????? those guests deserve to be hanged!!
Load More Replies...At least they told you... my roomate just broke several glasses and left the pieces in the sink and in his bedroom, for me to find when he moved out. (Also shaved his entire body and left the hair all over the shower his last day after puking all over the walls and toilet).
So, it sounds like he was letting you know he felt about the two of you being roommates.

Had a buddy stay with me and my then GF now wife, lived on the top floor of a poorly insulated apartment. We never set the air below 75 in the summer (kept it at 70 when we first moved in and got a $300 bill) we came back from being out of town for a few days he has some chick naked on the couch (my wife hated this girl and he knew it) and the air was set to 65. He didn't live there much longer.
On your couch, oh man. The whole thing is like ugh. But my couch.
I hope he wasn't your buddy much longer either. A person who treats others this way is not a quality person.
I had a roommate when I was young and very poor. In the middle of summer, I went to San Francisco for a few days on business and came home to the thermostat set to 50º F (10º C) and he was baking cookies. This roommate often came up very late on rent. F**k you, Golar. Eat a bag of d***s.
I hope you burned that sofa , then bleach the entire flat. Who knows what else went on in there, while you guys were away for the weekend.🤢
I came home from work that day and my homie was there. With his girl and 4 kids for weeks in my 1000 sw foot house. Ate all my food and wouldn't leave me alone until I drove them 10 hours away to some family's house
I agree but some people take advantage of people who genuinely want to help.
Load More Replies...Oh hell no, they would get a ride to the nearest bus/train station and that is it!
WTF? Why are all you people such pussies? We had my ex's best friend staying in my MIL apartment (want to make it clear, this was MY house). He was supposed to be paying $500 per month & doing basic yard maintenance. When I asked him to mow the back lawn, he said, and I quote, "Doesn't sound like F U N to me". He hadn't paid rent for 3 months at that point, so I said, "I imagine being homeless isn't much F U N either. Get your ass busy or get your ass out". My ex had a fit. I kicked them both out.
Rearranged my kitchen. That b***h.
it wasn't my mom. It was a guy I'd gone on two dates with that I left alone in my apartment for a few hours. My mistake I guess.
For real why the f**k would you leave someone you’ve dated twice alone where you live?? My sister has been dating her boyfriend for months and I don’t think they’ve ever been alone in the other person’s living space.
Load More Replies...uh guilty!! i did the same, but in my defense he wanted me to cook dinner for him, i do NOT cook dinner in a dirty kitchen!! Everything smelled badly and the counter was dirty, dusty and sticky, he even had mould in his coffee machine.... i arranged his one drawer and he got quite pissed... never cooked in that house again. ...i am breaking up to morrow with him.
I would hit the roof, if that happened to me. No one in their right minds should touch other people's kitchens/bedrooms, houses for that matter. First off, it's not theirs - and there's a reason why things are where they are.
Yup, your mistake for leaving someone you barely know alone in your place. Sorry not sorry on this one. It's still f'd up, but they did themselves in.
He literally took his freaking socks off and put them on the dining table. Dude... what?

We have a 9-year-old little girl from down the street who's friends with my daughter. She comes to our house at least every other day, and mostly just shows up.
She has an opinion about EVERYTHING we do. My wife or I can not make a move without feeling judged, or receiving some advice I would never expect from a 9-year-old, ranging from how messy our house is, to how we spend our money. And she talks back as much as my own kids.
It mostly makes us laugh. Mostly.
why would you even allow your daughter to associate? My mom made it very clear that the trashy little hoodlums down our street were NOT acceptable playmates and were never to be allowed in our house. I think I was five or six at the time, and she was right!
Why not let your child be friends with people? As long as they aren't hurting anyone, there's no reason not to be friends
Load More Replies...entitled kids are even worse, because you don't have the heart to yell at them
Why not correct the kid? Whenever I did something wrong at a friend's house, the parents never had a problem letting me know.
I was brought up knowing that it takes a village to raise a child. All the neighbours had a say in it. Very claustrophobic 😕
Load More Replies...I'd lock the floor and tell her to go learn some manners. That's just rude behaviour!
9 year olds are arseholes at the best of times, but you must not let them win. Stare them directly in the eye and lay down the law. Otherwise they will walk all over you.
That's not funny. I'd ban her from calling to your home. There's no way I'd put up with that carry on, having had experience of it when my two were young. Boils my blood, the cheeky little rip!
Sister's friend carved her name into our wall and porch
Could’ve called police on her for vandalism - no need to track the vandals down, as she personally signed her name the the warrant!

My sister stayed with our brother and dad a few years ago while bumming around (her husband passed away and she doesn't have to work, so she travels pretty much year round). While there, without anyone's permission and at no one's request, she completely dismantled and reorganized their walk in pantry, threw all of their food because it was "too processed" and "not healthy enough" (it was basic stuff too... pasta, sauces, frozen pierogies, potatoes, canned goods, snacks, etc.) and bought new. After her trip to the grocery store, she had the audacity to try and charge them for the food she bought. It wasn't even stuff they particularly liked, which cracked me up. They laughed in her face and she sulked for like a week.
Then she invited her teenage son to stay with them because he got kicked out of camp? school? something like that for vaping, and she was "too mortified" to let him back home so early. At the time, my brother lived 2 states away, lol. After that, she overstayed her welcome by about 3 weeks. Needless to say, she's a hot f**king mess.
If she’s so rich she can travel without ever working and send her kid to camp why doesn’t she just stay in a hotel?
She can afford to travel without ever working because she doesn't stay in hotels.

I can’t read anymore of these stories written so poorly. I’m no writer or anything but you don’t have to be just to tell your tale.

Deleted all of my passwords off my computer after asking to check her email.
I'm really confused and have so many questions. Do you mean she deleted the history/cache with the passwords saved or the saved passwords on your computer, which are difficult to get to....
It was probably that, clearing the cache (so her password would be gone). That's more an honest mistake, if at all, managing passwords like that was never very safe.
Load More Replies...Probably checked her email and then cleared the browser cache. As a courtesy, and to remove her browsing history…
I did this once when I was a babysitter. At school when we used the computers we had to clear the cache and passwords etc every time we logged off. For security apparently so people couldn’t use your passwords you left by accident, and to keep the temp folder small etc etc. I was so used to doing this every time I logged off a pic, I did it to the computer at my babysitters house. They were really annoyed, quite rightly as they lost all their passwords. I was so sorry and embarrassed after!
But you can actually recover all of your passwords, they’re just cleared from the cache… 🤦🏽♀️
Load More Replies...She probably clicked "save the password" and panicked resulting in finding the means to delete all the saved passwords. Just guessing.
My thoughts exactly. This could never be on purpose.

When I lived in Africa my husband and I met this guy who was kind of wandering his way around Africa. We got to know him a bit and he seemed ok. We had a TV which wasn't so common, so he asked if one day while we were at work, if we would let him use our room (we rented a room in a shared house) to watch a bit of TV. So we gave him the key. When we got home, everything *looked* okay, until I noticed USED condoms on the bedside table. He had brought a young, vulnerable girl back to our room, had sex in our bed on our sheets, remade the bed and thought he had got away with it. I called him and asked him over. Didn't say why. Then absolutely went off on him. We had no washing machine, so I required him to wash all our bedding by hand outside under the garden spigot. It took him probably three hours before I was satisfied. I told him if I found out that he was deflowering vulnerable local girls again, I would send people after him. He left town after that. Piece of crud.
i get that you are disgusted, what he did was absolutely nasty.... but at least he used a condom i don't even want to imagine what could happen if such a repugnant human being would have sex with young girls and not wear a condom...
