Does anyone have any CF guest stories?

I'm having a hungover day, there is no decent crap food in, and CF guest stories are my favourites 😎

I'm trying to think of some of my own but we pretty much don't have overnight guests any more.

A younger female cousin came to stay with my DH and I three years ago, while she was studying and to use us as a base to look for a flat in London.
She made a drunken pass at my husband when I was out one evening. He was horrified, and insisted she leave, as did I.

Wow some of these are mental.

we had two sisters over for dinner, and after dinner they started arguing about something (no idea what, both quite drunk and it was something family-related).

One of them flounced out of our flat, slamming the door behind her.

Unfortunately for her, our communal front door has a deadlock, so you can’t get out without a key.

Even more unfortunately, the lightswitch for the hallway is inside our flat (bad Victorian conversion).

So she had locked herself in our small communal hallway, in the pitch black, by herself.

DH and I realised that, and started giggling. Her sister had no idea what we were laughing about. The locked-out friend was too angry to lose face by coming back upstairs and asking to be let out, so she sat there in furious silence for about 20 mins until we took pity on her and went to release her.

That is v funny!

I could fill the whole thread with stories about my CF guests. My PIL are visiting from another country. They will have been here 4 months by the time they return home. We bought all their toiletries before they arrived..shampoo, soaps, toothbrushes etc. We have fed them and taken them on holiday for a week elsewhere in the UK(where the holiday cottage was not up to their standard) A holiday we paid for entirely including all the food. I understand that the cost of living here is different to what they are used to but I think if they usually pay £10-£20 a week for a food shop they should contribute the same here. I know for a fact they had £500 spending money when they arrived. All MIL does is buy clothes for her GD our niece. I imagine they will go home with £400! Then go on a holiday closer to home a few weeks later like they did 3 years ago when they visited. We are not well off in the slightest. Don't even get me started on how much our utility bills have gone up since MIL has been cooking pots of food that take hours!

My friend asked a mutual friend of ours to catsit for a week. Mutual friend invited another friend to join her and between them, they ate every single thing in the cupboards, fridge and large chest freezer. All of which were full to the brim before she left. Literally ate her out of house and home. Left the place filthy and dirty fucker didn’t change the cat litter once 🤮

And she wonders why I never ask her to dogsit for me.

I’m sure I posted this before. But DH’s entire family had few boundaries. His mum was the unexpected baby of five brothers - who during the war had really interesting lives across the US abd Europe. Plus an open house policy.

given only one of her brothers had children / 5, and only two if those of had children it was a bit difficult and combined with DH’s relaxed attitude too, we had a few years of people I didn’t know turning up at the door. Most of whom I couldn’t accommodate.

my favourite one was when I had several friends staying after my hen - when I was quite pregnant. A had eight friends squashed in the lounge and two bedrooms and DH’s uncle turned up abd was massively aggrieved that he couldn’t stay

conpletely bonkers in my organised world.

My best friend came to stay with her husband and 2 small children. Told us she and him were off to the football at Wembley and left us with the kids.

My dp regularly told us when they were coming, I’d tell them it wasn’t convenient, they’d put the phone down on me. They were retired, I was working full time. Once, they decided they wanted to come when my Dh and my Db (who lived nearby) were both on night shift. Cue more slamming of the phone when I said no. They always wanted to visit their old friends who lived near us. CF.

2 of my best mates came to visit when I was working in Paris and stayed for 2 weeks. I had imagined a couple of days, as they were staying in my employer’s house with me. Eventually my employer told me they had to go.

SIL was celebrating a milestone birthday and had organised a party. She'd invited her (and DH's ) cousin and his girlfriend down from Scotland (to Bristol).
Cousin asked if he and girlfriend could stay with us. Fine we said. They duly turned up but had 2 people (his best mates) with them who a) we didn't know and b) weren't invited to the party. They stayed with us for 2 nights. I did however refuse to cook for them as I was visiting my dying dad in hospital every day and made them go to Asda for breakfast.
