What would make you uncomfortable as a house guest

I don't want to say much but have an unwanted house guest, how can subtly make them leave of their own accord? I'm too cowardly to say FO

Who invited him, or told him it was ok?

Did he just turn up on the door step?

I am always baffled as to how people end up in these situations.

What did you say when he gave you his washing?

i like the porn idea, i like all ideas Grin
but put porn on tv and you and your dh try to seduce him

redexpat · 19/01/2016 09:52

Food that is too salty to eat.

MerryMarigold · 19/01/2016 10:07

Oh yes, Grin at talking about childbirth around him for hours on end.

He's probably a bit lonely, but can your dh get him a few more friends/ a job etc.

OnlyLovers · 19/01/2016 10:14

Just because he brings his washing doesn't mean you have to do it, OP.

How about your DH? What would he say if you referred the guest's washing to him?

redexpat · 19/01/2016 10:15

And talk about periods.

Take up a udical instrument. Or get the DC to!

And seriously, don't worry about trying to be polite.

'We need the spare room back now, PainInTheArse. You can stay tonight and then that's it.'

Although actually, if he's your DH's guest then your DH needs to do it. But I'm guessing he doesn't think it's his job? (see also 'washing' question above).

Finola1step · 19/01/2016 10:22

So he's clocked on to the fact that he cant sleep at yours. But is there apart from when he is sleeping. Just there. Would drive me a bit potty.

Hand his washing to your DH. This is his friend to sort out, not yours.

ppeatfruit · 19/01/2016 10:25

It makes it more difficult because the 'guest' is in a B&B , yes talk to yr dh about him. He'd probably love the porn and seduction idea, he'd NEVER leave Grin

We had a guest who use to go on and on and on about anything. Dh would get up and go into another room and the guest would follow him still talking. He only shut up when dh lost his temper with him. He didn't hang around afterwards.

blobbityblob · 19/01/2016 10:30

The hosts arguing amongst themselves has made me want to leave somewhere in the past (where I was supposed to be staying for a few days).

Can you have a very loud argument with your dh?

Or perhaps say your MIL is coming to stay and you need the room.

NotNowBono · 19/01/2016 10:34

Can you have a very loud argument with your dh?

maybe even about the annoying habit yuor DH has of letting nudey moochers use his home as a day hostel?

Schwabischeweihnachtskanne · 19/01/2016 10:36

Do his washing on a boil wash, with a red item - yes.

He isn't really a house guest (this time) and you can't stop him staying nearby, but I see very clearly why he is annoying.

How does your DH feel about it? Presumably this must be a single retired or independently wealthy person if they don't have a job to go to or a partner / dependants to go home to, and can spend all their time dedicated to hanging out at your house Confused

TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams · 19/01/2016 10:44

Draw up a cleaning rota, put him down to do the family laundry and clean the bathroom daily.

Does he have a job?

Whatdoidohelp · 19/01/2016 10:51

Man up and say you can't stay here. Confused

KatharinaRosalie · 19/01/2016 10:51

He expects you to do his washing actually? Show him where the machine is.

celeste83 · 19/01/2016 10:52

Oh right its someone who is now tempoarily living with you? Right yep make him clean the bathrooms and oven and make him take his laundry to the laundrette. Also suggest he clean the gutters and bins Grin

DoreenLethal · 19/01/2016 10:58

Who is he and how did he come back?

Why have you no rights in a house you live in?

alltouchedout · 19/01/2016 11:02

Tell your DH to get rid of him or fuck off himself. Suggest they set up home together.

That's made me Grin Grin Grin

Birdsgottafly · 19/01/2016 11:20

Are you actually having conversations with your DH about this?

How has he come to the UK, are you sure that your DH isn't sponsoring him, or something similar?

Birdsgottafly · 19/01/2016 11:21

Also, why is he in the UK, if he only knows your DH?

Schwabischeweihnachtskanne · 19/01/2016 11:44

I bet it's DH's dad.

Nobody else could really afford to spend so much time dedicated haunting the OP and her family surely...
