Have you ever encountered anyone this cheeky?

Inspired roughly by a couple of threads recently...
I used to have a friend (used to being the operative) who would come round to my house to smoke. Her reason being that she didn't want her house to smell like smoke and she didn't like smoking in the street as she thought it looked 'common' (her words)

The punchline being that I didn't smoke
That friendship ended when I saw the light and realised that she was using me! She was happy enough to make my house stink and I was too polite (at the time) to ask her not to as I thought I was being a welcoming host.

Has anyone encountered anyone with more brass neck than that?

Shamefully, I put up with it for the best part of a year. In my tiny defence, I was a lot shyer and more eager to please a few years ago, and when I made a new friend, I would go out of my way to be accomodating.

I am not like that anymore, and it is largely down to this woman!
The penny dropped when she woke me up early on a sunday morning after a night out, because 'smoking would help her hangover'... yeah, well, sleep helps mine and you wouldn't let me have it...!

I was given a birthday present once that consisted of four uninvited guests coming to my house for a weekend my own fault for living in a different country to my family

WTAF!! That'll take some beating!

Only cheekiness I have experienced is "I'm coming over on Tuesday" by a very annoying relative and then her letting off a long and exaggerated sigh when I told her I was out that day.

Can't say I have - that's so cheeky, it's almost comical.
