Being a guest in someone else’s home is an honor. They’ve chosen to invite you into their humble abode because they trust you and enjoy spending time with you. But even the most gracious host will expect guests to show them and their house a certain level of respect, otherwise that person will never get another invitation again.

TikTok users have recently been recalling reasons why they never invited a friend over to their home again, so we’ve gathered the wildest stories below. From being cruel to pets to making snarky comments about food, it’s hard to believe that anyone had the audacity to behave like this in a “friend’s” home. Enjoy reading through these stories, and be sure to upvote the ones that would get someone immediately banned from your house too!

Young girl sitting on a green chair holding a cat, illustrating funny ways people got permanently banned from a friend’s house. They let their kid pick my kittens up and keep dropping them off the couch & tugging on their tails and squishing them. I asked them to get her to stop, they said "they're just cats." No one is allowed in my home who cannot respect my animals idc if it's a fish.

    A young woman consoling an older woman, depicting emotions related to getting permanently banned from a friend’s house. Told her not to mention my mom’s hair. And the first thing she tells my mom who was at stage 3 cancer is how short hair doesn’t suit her and that women are prettier with long hair. Never saw someone with that much audacity in my life.

    Teen girl sitting outdoors on pavement with skateboard nearby, using phone, representing ways people got banned from a friend’s house. I had a pink iPod touch I got my 13th birthday and I let my “friend” use it because she had her phone taken. She changed the password on my iPod touch and when I called her to ask her for the password she told me to just give it to her. Long story short I talked to her mom and later on that day she called me back with the password and I never invited her back or hung out with her.

    Person sitting on floor tying one sneaker while the other foot is bare, illustrating ways people got permanently banned from a friend's house. I live in an Asian household where shoes are not allowed. My home is clean and I make accommodations such as give new slippers to someone visiting. This friend rebelled against the idea of removing her shoes that anytime her and my other friend would go on a smoke break they walked outside with no shoes on to be spiteful and would bring in their dirty feet into my home and drag it on my white rug purposefully but making it seem like I have OCD. It was their idea to come over. They also knew I have really bad asthma and made sure to go outside with their dirty feet and smoke every 30 minutes making fun of me and I could hear their conversations about how annoying Asians are from my doorbell camera. Now I never invite anyone to my home, especially white friends who make fun of my culture.
