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

[DearBangtan7]

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

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 this absolutely cracked me up.

The one about throwing belongings down the stairs while the mother was in hospital... I mean, what the hell?! Surely that is some kind of criminal behaviour? I feel so bad for you. If you were my friend, I hope you would have called me and I would have been round to tidy up for you. How distressing for you.

My cousin got home from the hospital with first baby to find that her partner had had a party the night before. The place was a tip, vomit in corners, strangers asleep in her bed etc. I am not sure I could forgive that.

When I got home the house was spic and span, and my husband had drawn up a menu of choices, I just had to tick the meals I wanted.

@SheWoreARaspberryBeret123 I think you missed the bit where I said that she went NC on me for sending someone a Christmas card.

I have a school mum friend who tried to take over my life. Everytime she stepped foot in my house, she would take a dump iif we were at anybody else's house she never did thi

We used to live about halfway between an old uni friend and his parents - about 2.5 hours from both. He used to occasionally stop over on his way to see them. Fine. He'd bring his own cornflakes - also fine. Sometimes he'd stay a night and day. Nice to see him. Except the time he just showed no sign of leaving... got to Christmas Day, we're getting ready to go to DH's parents and we're like "So, friend, we're leaving in an hour, what time are your parents expecting you...?". He seemed genuinely surprised that he'd outstayed his welcome and that we -and he - might have somewhere else to be on Christmas Day (he comes from a Christian background).

I get your frustration but some kid's genuinely have issues with food. It's not healthy to force children to eat foods they dislike or to make food an issue for them. I'd be fine with someone making baked beans for their kids if they wouldn't eat a roast. I wouldn't take a tin of beans to a restaurant though!!

Unless there are extreme special needs. The reaction and pandering by this mother is probably why they have issues with food.

I do know I will be slated for this comment but it’s what I believe

@DarkNecessities it's about the attitude towards food. People who go on to develop eating disorders or unhealthy eating habits often grew up in households with unhealthy attitudes towards food. This can be over eating, emotional eating, food restrictions, being forced to eat foods they dislike etc. If you have a'fussy' child the best way to manage it is to give them foods they will eat and then add an extra food they don't really like. No pressure to eat it, just there if they want to try. If I was going to another families house with a fussy child I would probably take something rather than ask them to adapt the meal or make my child feel uncomfortable and pressured to eat something they didn't like.

Similar in what she did butso much worse given your circumstances! Cheeky of your mutual friend too. What gives with people like that?! I probably come across a bit anal nowadays but if I go to someone's housel I usually say roughly what time I'm planning to go or that I'm just coming coming an hr or something like that. If it gets to that time and it's very obvious they want me to stay (&I want to too!) That can be changed but generally I like to have a plan and make people aware. Hate the thought of overstaying my welcome. I don't know what my friends were thinking. They kept just clicking about on their phones, looking at one another then a short conversation but then just appeared to be waiting for something. I sat there thinking 'What am I supposed to DO,now? What do they want?!' 🤣
I'll bet you had a little party in your head once she'd left!

My grandma once brought a packed lunch to a New Year's Day buffet that I had put on. She heard me talking about the food on Christmas Day and thought it "didn't sound nice at all"
So she brought a little Tupperware box of her own food 😆
My mum (her daughter) was furious on my behalf but to be honest I wasn't bothered by it really...some people are fussy about food.

The absolute worst thing I ever encountered wasn't even in my house. I was followed home by a very sweet dog and he ended up staying the night with me as he had no collar etc. I phoned the council and let them know a dog had been found, I contacted the dog pound and several dog rescue charities but nobody knew of this poor wee boy. I had a phone call the next morning from the owner and arranged to meet up with him. I handed over the dog to his owner who had brought his partner along. They both invited me to a barbecue in their home to say thank you, I accepted because I'm a dickhead.
I turned up at their home at the proper time for a bbq and I could hear them screaming at each other. I knocked the door and thought ill just drop off this bottle of wine and leave them to it but they ushered me in while still screaming at each other.

Long story short, they hadn't bought the barbecue yet and it was the weirdest 8 minutes of my life.

My now estranged sister walked around our house shortly after we moved in, examining everything and asking if she could take what she liked.
When our parents died she ransacked the house looking for their wills and labelled everything she wanted. Odd that she labelled everything of any value 😳
Greedy and unscrupulous, she’s got far more money than I will ever have.

I had a friend who used to turn up whenever she felt like it, and expect me to drop everything and entertain her and her kids. One morning I suggested they stay for lunch. I meant a sandwich or something, but she said she cooked a main meal at lunchtime. I didn't have anything in that her kids would eat, so she went off to the shop leaving me with them all (6 between us) Brought it back for me to cook.
The best bit was later on a mutual friend told me she'd complained that I'd invited them for lunch but she'd had to go out and buy it.
