What's the weirdest thing a guest in your house has done? (Lighthearted)

[ToddlerSwim]

DH had a close childhood friend. They were in their early 20s and friend had come over to hang out (just for the evening not to stay over).

DH was still living with his parents at the time and they were all in the living room chatting when friend randomly gets up and announces "right I'm going for a bath" and just goes off and has a bath in their house.

It's such a small thing but so bizarre. What odd habits have you seen from house guests?

Had a group of 3 okder women iI didn't know well over for their "holiday" (someone in my family had offered for them to stay at mine 🙄). They spent the long winter weekend sitting in my kitchen, chain smoking with the window open and knitting and didn't even visit the town centre before flying home!

Had a friend over from Germany in our 20s and she convinced my school friend and mutual Swedish friend that she had seen figures in my paintings move. They spent the week screaming and not going into rooms alone because of it 🤣

Stepmother came to stay and while we were at work, the flush on the loo stopped working. Instead of getting a bucket of water to flush it, she decided to sh*t in our garden.

This.

Who the hell (well apparently a lot of folks🤯) wastes times sorting rubbish once in bin? I have a kitchen bin with 3 compartments, plus food waste caddy. I have 2 bins in bathrooms- hygiene/non recycle, and recycle.. plus divided bins in bedroom rooms or in places like sitting room just have paper recycle and take anything else to kitchen bins to sort.

life is way to short to have a nominated waste monitor person to sort through bins before taking out. Taught kids as soon as recycling came in (were teens then) to get it in right bin form get go.

some people do make life hard for themselves

just had a Quick Look…this one is cute! https://www.dunelm.com/product/blush-recycling-bin-1000186124?defaultSkuId=30730711&branchCode=0715

🤣🤣🤣

Not so much an invited guest, but a burglar.
They smashed the back window and made a bit of a mess, some nice TVs and decent enough furniture, thought they have may have taken those.
But the only thing we could find missing were some Yorkshire Puddings DM had brought over and put in our freezer (it was just before Christmas).
When the Police eventually came we couldn’t even tell them they’d been taken as we didn’t think they’d take us seriously. Who breaks in, leaves the new TVs and nicks a batch of Yorkshire puddings 😳🤷‍♀️.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned,

Susannah Constantine recounted the incident of the turd which wouldn’t flush away and how fellow-guest Princess Margaret dealt with it.

‘Constantine went on to note that Queen Elizabeth II’s sister then “looked at” her and told her to “go get a knife”. She then shared that she found “a really gorgeous, ivory handled, cake slicer,” in the dining room which she gave to Margaret.
She went on to describe how Margaret used the knife on the poop, explaining: “She turned around and there was this chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, flushed the loo, handed me back the knife, which I then went to go and wash.”’

Hope the knife got washed before it sliced another cake.,

Omg @WoolySnail that's such a creepy thought 😂😂🙈🙈 my bedroom door had no keyhole and I was in an upstairs flat so he would've needed a biiiiiiig ladder 🤣

When I was a first time buyer, I was very poor. My sister used to travel a lot and gave me all the hotel toiletries, soaps and so on which I used for showering. I also had one bottle of expensive shower gel which I kept for best. Friend came to stay and after several days reminded me to buy shower gel so she could stop using my expensive stuff. She also turned down the temperature on my boiler. I was in the bath wondering why the the water was so cold and worrying about boiler repairs!

Drilled a peep hole in the wall or ceiling? 😬🤣 glad you and your friend didn't fall foul of him ❤️

@Wooky073 i would agree but she was an extremely wasteful woman at home. Threw away loads of food. Never used leftovers. Chucked uneaten takeaways. Not thrifty in that way at all. She just like dumping her rotten food contents on me 😂

This happens in my house when dds visit with their partners. I’m dying to ask if this happens in their own homes and what, if anything, is done or said about it. It just doesn’t seem like the right thing to ask though ☺️

A Yorkshireman ? With a surfeit of gravy ?

Nicked my toothpaste 😂😂

This reminds me of when a woman who went to the same evening class as me told me that she had had a break in a few weeks before Xmas and the only thing that was taken was a newly decorated Xmas cake that she had made and left out to dry on a kitchen counter. She had then gone out for the evening with her husband and returned to zero cake.

Once had a housesitter that was sleeping in our bed. Fine.

She hadn't really thought through the implications of our Ring doorbell, and we saw two different men come and stay overnight. One left topless in the morning.

I can't prove she slept with them, or that they slept in my bed. But the whole thing made me feel a bit sick - never mind the implications of strangers in our house.

Never again.

Walk through the household with it in a nappy bag apparently so everyone can see it and realise you are in fact on your period, then place it in the outside bin while hoping your in laws aren’t minted and their bins are in fact at the end of a mile long driveway……….

My ex-boyfriend's brother came to visit us at uni and used our roommate's toothbrush, as he'd forgot to pack his. When questioned he didn't get what the problem was.

Omg!!

Christ Almighty 😲 just when I thought it couldn't get any worse!
Are you as LC as possible?

@BellaCiaoBellaCiao I started my periods in 1998 and I knew from the start that tampons weren't to be flushed!

E-coli special 🤣😂🤣

Can’t you just say turn everything off before you go to bed and don’t leave skid marks in the pan!!! I might be to blunt but it would do my head in!

Reminds me of when my auntie & cousins visited when we were kids. They were quite feral children. My eldest cousin decided to wipe her bum on our bathroom hand towel. My mum was a bit of a Hyacinth Bouquet type & was absolutely horrified, as you would be, and kept going on about it for days

That’s nice you have room for all those bins, we have room for one small bin in our kitchen, we don’t even have a fridge in it, we have to up that in an outside area.

My children are taught to put their recycling straight in the outside bins, but hey, we are obviously making life to hard for ourselves because we don’t have a house full of bins.

We had people to stay over the holiday. The adolescent daughter offered to do some cleaning which I accepted with thanks. So she used The Pink Stuff in the kitchen but didn’t rinse it off so it dried hard and took ages to get off. Then she used glass cleaner on the shower doors which dried both streaky and sticky. Because she was so willing to help I didn’t say anything but waited til my usual cleaner came to clean the bathroom. If she comes again I must remember to show her what products to use but I was impressed she offered to help.
