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

[DearBangtan7]

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

I hope my family come over and order fish and chips when I give birth next year 😂 I don't understand this one.

@Dogsinthecradle I have no words at your update. How can they be so horrible to their child? I hope you do tell your children how they treated you when they are old enough to know so they don't somehow weasel into the kids lives. They seem like the kind of people who could persuade the kids they are fun and brilliant grandparents whilst stomping all over you. So glad you've broken free of them.

They already have done
or at least tried to-the kids fell for it for a while but she went too far and they keep her at arms length now

DFIL let himself into the house when I was asleep after a run of night shifts and came into the bedroom and woke me up deliberately because " nobody needs to be in bed at 10am on a week day !" Yes Nigel, you do if you only climbed in there at 9:30 am , you muppet. DH got his keys back off him the same day.

Rude, entitled and crazy behaviour. I'm glad your husband had your back on this so clearly. 🌹

Same! Due a Christmas baby and this post has me plotting which day I’m demanding my relatives bring me fish and chips. (Every day, ideally.)

Fish and chips are the traditional new baby or first day in new house or first day of renovation when you’ve got no kitchen food, and I can’t think of anything less weird than getting them in at someone else’s house who’s otherwise indisposed and unable to cater.

Catering for 17 one Christmas Day. Kitchen an absolute hive of activity. Stress levels high. Massive traditional dinner being cooked. We'd cooked for similar numbers before and food is generally of a high standard (thanks to my wife mainly).

My sister has form for claiming her kids were fussy. She insisted on barging through us all in the kitchen and bringing out a tin of baked beans she'd bought, then feeding it to her kids.

She also pulled the same stunt at a fancy French restaurant for our parent's wedding anniversary. When she handed the tin over to the waiter the look on his face was priceless. Cheeky mare asked my kids if they wanted beans as well.

One other time they were coming over (could have been Christmas but not Christmas Day) I'd decided to do home made steak pie and chips. thought that surely this wouldn't fall foul of her kids. The day they were due to come round she messaged me asking what we were having - saying her son was fussy but her daughter will eat anything - just wanted to know what were eating. I responded "pie" - she wanted to know what type - "steak".
She messaged me back to say neither of her kids would eat that so she'd bring something to heat up for them. I told her not to bother coming for food and to call round after we'd eaten or not bother coming at all.

We've not spoken for 10 years.

My SIL was heading off on her three week long honeymoon and was saying about all the books she was hoping to read. I said that I owned one of the autobiographies she had mentioned and that she was welcome to borrow it (I hadn’t read it at this point)
On her return from honeymoon I asked her if she had read the book and enjoyed it. Her answer was yes she had enjoyed it and that she had binned it before she packed to come home, to save space in her suitcase.
Right….

You haven't spoken to your sister in ten years because her kids don't like steak pie???? 🤭

Not for that reason. She got divorced and x years later told me to stop sending her ex husband (who she’d left as she was having an affair with a married man whose wife had a new born baby) a Christmas card. It was the only interaction I had with him and he’s the father of my niece and nephew. She slagged him off to her kids any chance she got. I refused to obey and here we are (I am a divorce lawyer and gave her advice not to consult with her then 6 yr old daughter about whether her boyfriend should stay the night - she told me I didn’t know what I was talking about and should keep out of it, so I never took sides between them). Her decision to cut all ties and for years after she’d cut me dead on the rare occasions we were at the same family event. My life is better without her in it and no doubt she’d say the same about her life.

@stuntbubbles congratulations and good luck! Enjoy your fish and chips 🥰

My bff had an affair with my DP's bff and used our lounge as a shag pad for months. Her marriage was hideously abusive and he was single but lived with a family member post divorce so they stayed with us. I loved having the lodgers and am quite sad they are now official!

Not me but happened to a close friend.
Her partner invited his brother and gf over and they were drinking.
Brother s gf pissed on my friend s living room carpet.
It had to be binned

My DM once had her ex partners wife come into her house, put DMs slippers on and then immediately fell asleep on DMs sofa… was the first time she visited with DM’s ex, she’s a strange lady lol

Going through my drawers to find vitamins, going into my fridge and start eating whatever

@Dogsinthecradle Far out! What a nightmare! 😳

@jiskoot Some people really just don't get it do they 🤦

@Mercy1968 ewww

A slightly eccentric male platonic friend visited me at my house for the first time.

As I made tea and sandwiches he strolled around to see my new house. When I'd finished the preparation I walked out of the kitchen to find and fetch him, and found him urinating in broad daylight onto one of my front garden plants.

When I asked him what the hell he was doing, he just carried on, looked over his shoulder and said in a matter of fact manner: 'Oh I often take a pee in my garden, is that wrong?'

My parents threw me a semi formal party (brunch, champagne, etc.) to celebrate my master's graduation. This was at their home. I was in my 30s at the time, and didn't live with them. A fellow graduate came to the party, then said to me halfway through, "I'm tired. I'm going to go take a quick nap." I assumed she meant she needed to leave early. Instead, she went up into my parent's house, found a bedroom, and lay down for a nap.

She'd never met my parents before, she'd never been in their home before, she knew I didn't live there, and we had only been friends for the two years of our graduate program. My sister went upstairs for something, discovered her and assumed she must have been sick. When she tried to wake her to see if she needed an ambulance, the friend just said, "Oh, I just need some more time to sleep."

Just the oddest thing. I didn't even know how to address it, so I never did.

We literally do this all of the time when visiting family. Anything from just eat.

Of other peoples kids, in their living room?

Bit of a boundary issue imo.

so dad decided to tip everything that was upstairs,down the stairs

he got the kids to help-they had great fun pulling stuff out of drawers and wardrobes,flinging it all down the stairs

i mean everything-toys,clothes,bedding,random crap from my bedside drawer,pictures off the walls,curtains,shampoo,toothbrushes,shower gel,the shower curtain and mat-if it was upstairs and not pinned down-it got slung down the stairs

This is awful obviously. But I'm at a loss to know how it could even vaguely come under the guise of 'tidying' which is what your dad was apparently doing.

It's just wanton destruction?

Wtf?! Is that really your reason not to speak to your sister for TEN YEARS?!

This made me 😂

A few people have said why is this weird? I can categorically say I have never been to someons house and ordered a takeaway they weren't involved in. Bizarre!!

Shagged her affair partner in my house when I was on holiday (in my spare bed, not mine). She was only meant to be popping in to feed cats, water plants etc. She'd changed the sheets, which is the reason I knew she'd been in there.
