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

@Liquidacrobat clearly having a wank. Or two.

Why do you consider that an awful thing to do? -they are washed and clean! She is recycling them rather than sending them straight to landfill. Seems quite sensible me.
Everything else you said…..clearly not ok!

If my mother had done that she would never see any of my children again.

I think this happened when pp was a baby though?

Can you send her round to my house

You aren’t the only one! Obviously personal choice but the horror the flannel users have that one could actually use one’s hands for face washing is funny.

I did once take a flannel (well a very very small towel) from a hotel and used it to wipe my sweat soaked brow whilst in the far east.

You know what - I often open a thread that looks entertaining and I either don't bother posting because it's been going for a while and I don't have anything entertaining or useful to add, or I skim the OP's posts and the recent posts to see the character and tone of the chat before I join in. That's how I converse in real life and I don't see why it should be different on a message forum. It's not deep or shallow, it's just normal social behaviour. I assume you don't crash up to a group of people in the pub deep in conversation and loudly give your opinion on something already covered that they have moved on from as if your contribution is the most valuable thing ever? Well maybe you do, I don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nothing, it’s sensible recycling . People are absolutely bonkers . Our window cleaning cloth was our daughter’s cot sheet.

Sitting. Should have mentioned that in my original post.

I don't get all the drama over wet flannels. Does no one use a wash bag anymore? My shower gel, shampoo, face cloth and shower puff all go in my wash bag. I use a plastic one (not a lined one) because I know I'll be putting wet things in it. Face cloth and shower puff have as much water removed as possible and then go into the wash bag.

I travel a lot for work and some hotels provide flannels but some don't (especially budget hotels)

My mum was like this (as are many mothers and MILS - it's narcissism) and in the end I started saying "The correct response is 'Oh my goodness I'm so sorry I woke you; go back to bed!'" 😁

Haha I love that, I’ll have to try that next time!!!!

Possibly a misunderstanding though?
I think people think parents of babies/small children will be up early, because they usually have to be,

@Liverpool52
@quarrybanks
The Hilton and Hamilton by Hilton (Liverpool city center), also the Leonardo (Liverpool) have flannels, In packets, like tissues. Although I live on Merseyside, were stay over when we go to a concert.

I must admit I've been sitting on my hands to avoid the temptation to explain my flannel/facecloth routine. In fact it is so tempting to add it here, just a couple more sentences!!!!!!!!!!!! and why it is so much better than sploshing around!

Fab thread, makes me even more pleased that we never have visitors.

Our adult ND son used to do this literally got out of the shower and walked to his room leaving wet everywhere. He just doesn’t see things in the same way. Went on for years.

Doesn't everyone, in this eco conscious age?

My parents used to use old pants (of the big variety) as dusters. No matter how many times they'd been washed I found it gross!

If you never use them more than once why do you wash them?

and why the left hand??

I assume the poster means that she washes them after only one use.

MIL who had wine and chocolates lined up to give to me as a present, then decided to distribute amoung the rest of the household at dinner.

MIL still has Dh’s 50 year old Terry nappies to clean the floor.

Not Christmas.But I really needed to mention,when my Husband and I got married,we held the wedding party at our flat.My mother & step farther stayed the night of our wedding :0(

In the morning they asked if I wanted to keep any left overs from the wedding food & drink.I said no, take the lot,they did!

I was shocked that they would be so petty.They took the glasses,which belonged to them anyway.But pretty much took all the food & drink! & Cut a huge chunk of wedding cake to take with them.

I will never forget that day almost 42 years ago! Truly awful way to treat the Bride & Groom!

A bit of theft followed by guarding and refusal to "drop it".
To be fair to the dog, it was unwise of BIL to remove his denture and not secure it, especially after seeing what happened to the dropped sock 😂
