What’s the strangest thing a friend has ever done at your house?

[DearBangtan7]

Just that really..... expose your friends here!! anonymously of course 😉

haha @MadeInChorley I think we must be friends as my h used to be an absolute terror for stunts like that 😱

They’d both been through all my stuff (downstairs) and as they couldn’t find anything,they reported me to the police (who in turn reported me to ss) for snorting coke when the kids where asleep

(they had the bag of coke,with a picture as ‘proof’-my brother is a coke head and gave them the bag)

ive never done coke in my life (unless they meant Diet Coke-I go through loads)

nothing happened so they ramped it up and I lost it and went nc

They’ll tell anyone who will listen what a mystery it is and how ‘ungrateful’ I am for not bowing to their every demand

it’ll hit them in a few years-when they are old and need care-my brothers won’t be anywhere to be seen and I’m certainly not helping

My mother & sister turned up at my house. Sat in their coats at my dining room table.
Patiently waited for me to finish breast feeding and changing my new born for me to then get up post C section to make them a cup of tea and provide biscuits.
I asked them to come in the living room and stick the kettle on.
No. They preferred to wait for me to do it.
Cunts.

Ha, well, we’re all still good mates. But it would have been nice to know he was a regular sleepwalker! He wriggled up the middle of the bed between us and is very hairy 🤣

I recently reconnected with an old school friend, we met up for coffee and caught up with each others lives but that was about it. Ater a couple of months I offered her some items she was after (crafting related) and arranged for her to come and collect them. I invited her into the hallway and picked up the box with the items in and she proceeded to talk to me and my husband (who had just walked past and said hello politely) for over an hour and a half all about her life. We're all standing in the hallway, I'm conscious our dinner is in the oven, dogs are running around and I'm stood holding this box for her and she's just jibber jabbering away at us both about every aspect of what had happened to her in the last 20 years. I had offered to let her come and sit for a coffee or something but she declined. She eventually took the box and left...husband is like 'uh, who was that', very odd. Haven't heard from her since!

I honestly can't see the issue here. They probably turned down your offer of food because they wanted to make less work for you.

Yes, I mean I'd be really pissed off if someone brought chips and didn't offer to get me any but they did offer. Or if they expected me to cater for them 5 days after giving birth. I'd have loved it if someone came round to my house and offered to buy me a fish supper when I had a newborn, it seems pretty thoughtful and I was bloody ravenous when breastfeeding. And what on earth is wrong with eating fish and chips in the house? I'm making a curry tonight, that will make the house smell of it for a couple of days.

@Thedamndoorbell This has just given me a good laugh. You referred to chapping at the door so I read the post with a Scottish accent (bonkers, I know) and an image of one of my childhood neighbours in my head. It took me right down memory lane.

We had a house party in our second year at uni and some absolute dick hid contain sausages all over the house. They were in the dishwasher, the diary liquid, in the bathroom. It was really annoying. And someone also pissed in our garden that night. One of my flat mates has her phone stolen that night. She worked in a bar and her friends were there who were bouncers for the bar. She had them search everyone as they left!!

@Jadey31 I don't understand why you'd be upset about that. In the newborn days my husband and I lived on takeway. I would have been thrilled if family suggested a chippy when visiting. Takes the pressure away from cooking something for everyone, when you're in the newborn haze. Unless you mean they outstayed their welcome and you were hoping they'd have left by lunch?

Odd and funny in equal measure 🤣

Glad it's not just me that's wondering what's so weird about ordering a takeaway for lunch!

MadeInChorley yours has genuinely made me laugh, so thank you 😁

Pissing the the garden was standard procedure for guys at parties when I was around that age - left the proper toilet free for the girls and the seat didn't get covered in piss so I was all for it! Unless it was onto decking or something that would soak it up and smell I can't really see the issue

That’s your own house though, you have every right to make your own house smell. This was other people ordering food to be delivered to her house when she didn’t want them to.

Laid a used piece of dental floss across one of my mugs (she stayed over the night before) . I don't think I've ever been so repulsed 🤢
The mug went straight in the bin.

Yeah it’s not the worst thing but do I want a load of random men getting their dicks out in the garden and pissing all over it? No thanks. Even at 19 I thought that was pretty grim.

Wasn't really that weird of my friend but he went to the toilet before he left and left the seat up. My DH has never done that and I have a terrible habit of going into rooms in the dark if I know them well rather than putting lights on late at night. I was also 9 months pregnant at the time. Next thing there's a splash and i'm stuck in the toilet bowl, naked backside soaking in the toilet water and DH had to pull me out.

Oh God! I've done that and my bum has slipped into the loo as well 😳

The first night I was home with my newborn our whole 'gang' arrived at 7 o'clock to see the new arrival. More than half a dozen came in with gifts and sat down for the whole evening. I made drinks for them and eventually had to disappear upstairs into a cold bedroom to bf my lo.
My xH had already disappeared in the morning to play football and then go to the pub with them. I was almost distraught.

We had arranged for a few friend couples (4 couples) to come for a celebratory dinner at our house one sunday. One of the couples (Harold and Margaret we'll call them) were nice enough but sometimes a little odd. It was for a big event and I'd told them what I was cooking, it was a full 3 course dinner with cheese afterwards, so alot of food and a very expensive cut of meat, plus seafood for starters etc so was quite pricey to put together. I let them know what it was as the wife of this couple can be quite fussy about food, and it was all agreed they both liked everything I was cooking. (I had offered to adapt or change anything for them if they didn't like any of it)
Roll on to the sunday and I had told them dinner would be served at 1. Everyone arrived just after 12, as we'd expected except this one couple who arrived literally just before 1.
So dinner started and both of them barely touched the starter. Same with the main. One of the other guests joked weren't they very hungry. It was so obvious they just were not eating.
The wife then said they wouldn't be able to eat this, they were not very hungry no, because they had a huge fry up around 11am as Harold always has a fry up on a sunday at 11.

I was a bit like, WTF. You knew it was a huge dinner - and expensive too! I just thought that was so rude to not forgo his fry up this one time - or at least give us a heads up that wasn't an option and I could've served them smaller portions! They literally ate about 4 mouthfuls of the entire dinner.

I should have known to be honest because a previous meal we had together, same couples and it was at our house but everyone insisted we'd all bring a dish to save us cooking, as we'd had a baby just 2 weeks before. So sort of a chilled out buffet type thing on a summer evening. Margaret was in charge of a garden salad, as she has always stated she hates cooking, and you can't go wrong with a salad.

Everyone turned up with their dishes. Margaret turns up with a whole lettuce, some salad tomatoes, a whole cucumber, celery and a bag of radishes and hands it to me to put it all together as a sald. She acted like this was a totally normal thing to do when asked to bring a dish.

this is like 'Bridesmaids'!!

That’s awful. I’d have been tempted to go to theirs and done the same to them when they were out.

My in laws came to visit one day when I was out.
We had patio doors fitted that could be left open slightly but locked, to let some air in during hot weather. The gap was only about 2” wide if that
I came home and let myself in at the front door, walked through to the lounge to find the in laws waving at me in the garden.Tried to open the patio doors to let them in but the door was askew in the frame, it wouldn’t budge. It was off the runners at the bottom. I waved at them to come in the front door.
I mentioned the patio door and said I’d have to get the fitters back in to have look at it. FIL never said a word.
DH happened to finish work early that day, the in laws were still there when he got in. I told him about the door, he examined it and said someone’s tried to force this…at the same time as giving his dad the dead eye.
MIL got all flustered and said to FIL “I told you to leave it alone.”
he’d only tried to rive it open!

too?

I had a very similar experience. I had a newborn baby and had come out of hospital the morning befofe after a PPH and a blood transufsion. A friend of a friend of mine came around to borrow something. I'd only met her once before but our mutual friend said i would clearly not be using this bit of sport equipment for a while post birth so suggested that this other person could borrow it for a few weeks. I am not even sure why i agreed. Other than i was a fucking doormat and frankly it is all a bit of a blur.

This person came. I was white, exhausted and had a brand new baby. She talked at me for nearly 4 hours about I'm not even sure what. i was just frozen with a sort of zoned out despair. At one point I even started weeping and asked her to please just go. She said then something about wanting to help me cook dinner as it was all clearly too much for me (It's all a bit blurry to be honest).

Finally she left. i had to ask repeatedly over months to get my property that she had borrowed back and when it did come back she had broken it.

I still cannot look back at that without feeling a sense of overwhelmed queasy misery. I am honestly not at all sure why any of it happened.

This woman blanks me now whenever I see her in our fairly small town.

@MrsThimbles yes we are Scottish 🙂

I had also invited my sister who came a bit later and I hadn't been able to warn her about what was being shouted at the doors 🤣 her face was an absolute picture .. I am laughing so much the now just thinking of the look on her face 🤣
