Care to share the oddest thing house guests have done in your home this festive period?

[CharlieWeasleysWife]

We've had many guests over the festive period and most have been an absolute delight. However, have just waved off a few of DHs friends and they:

Removed phone chargers and toiletries left in the guest room/bathroom and taken home

Used (a used!) dish cloth to wipe their face then replaced on the sink

Complained we won't allow scary/violent TV until our young children are in bed

WTF?

Edited for typos

out of about the 15 hotels I’ve stayed in this year none have lol. In the USA I heard they provide them but hardly ever in Europe. I bring my own scrunchie and even if there was a washcloth/flannel I would not use it for hygiene reasons

Must be lovely to be so perfect

My mum always did this. She grew up in WW2 and absolutely nothing was wasted.
I used old towels for the dog and the cats

Not to my house, family or not. My cat would be horrified.

Sounds like heaven 😂 she’s welcome round mine!

Get a dog sitter. No one should have to deal with your stinking filthy animal in their house.

That's good thinking...

I think we need to hear the whole story about how guests unscrewing doorhandles counts as an honest mistake!

This sounds like my SIL! She makes me a birthday cake for a little family party and the takes it home as she has more kids than me so they will finish it off 😅

The hotels that have them normally place "face" flannels on the bidet.

Surely they must have taken them home. How on earth could 2 people use that many loo rolls? Me and DH use about 2 a week

Did she explain why she was treating a Christmas tree as evil incarnate?

Yuck.

I have stack bathroom flannels for make up as trying to be sustainable. Use them once and they go in a little wash basket ready to get chucked in laundry.

Will someone please cancel the bloody cheque flannel.

I read so much about flannels I couldn't help but add my own comment by the end

@Vaguelyclassical they're called Men.

Doesn't really matter, ocd isn't rational.

Dogs are like children.
Only to their owners 😉
Most people don’t see humans and dogs in quite the same way when it comes to invitations etc.

Taking the chargers I'd assume was accidental.

Me and dh once stayed somewhere and I commented at the beginning that we wouldn't need to get the chargers out as our hosts had kindly left loads out.

In the car most of the way home dh cheerfully tells me that I'd nearly left the chargers behind, and if he hadn't checked, and why I thought I needed so many chargers out, some of which didn't fit my phone was beyond me...
Grovelling phone call made by dh upon arrival home.🤣
They found it funny.

I don't feel my face is clean enough if not scrubbed within and inch of its life. Soap and water alone, I'd honestly still feel unclean.
I even use a silicone face scrubber with my face wash now.

I always take my toiletries in a ziplock bag as I worry about spillage and my flannel goes with those.

I use hotels often, very rarely do they have flannels.

Possibly because some people have medical conditions (or mental health conditions) that you don’t.

Mind-blowing concept I know!

ETA Sorry for being snippy but as someone with IBD it’s upsetting to think hosts may be monitoring my toilet paper usage! Or worse, suspect me of stealing their toilet paper!

I wonder if there’s a correlation between flannel users and bidet users?

I do, but I dry it on the facecloth/flannel. I keep a basket of them by the sink, copied from staying in hotels.

Though most people wouldn’t just not turn up
