Possibly massively outing but we offered a friend, who had nowhere else to stay, our spare room for a couple of weeks while she got back on her feet. Between us we agreed that she'd contribute to food shopping.
She overstayed her welcome well and truly.
We were stuck with her for 3 fucking months!!
During which time she washed her clothes only once, yet showered 3 times a day - her evening shower lasting at least 40 minutes.
She constantly had her laptop on, playing films, even overnight, to the point that I used to go in around 2am and move laptop off bed and turn it off.
She had guinea pigs in her bedroom and rarely cleaned them out, even going away for a week, leaving them for me to feed and clean.
She 'accidentally' allowed a candle to melt over off the bedside table onto the carpet and instead of confessing, tried to cut the hard wax out of the carpet - I only discovered it when my kitchen scissors went missing and went to look for them in her room. Found them on top of a silk shirt which had been strategically placed over the wax. I may have lost my shit a little and used said shirt to iron the wax out.
DH came home from work late one night to find the electrics had tripped. Flicked them back on to hear a hairdryer going... went to investigate and found her fast asleep in bed with hairdryer under the duvet. When we spoke to her about it she couldn't see the issue because she'd been cold and hadn't wanted to go get a blanket out of the airing cupboard or put a jumper on. She couldn't understand that if the electrics hadn't tripped, the house would probably have burned down! She couldn't comprehend why we were angry about it and argued that it was our fault because the heating had gone off!
She ended up not contributing a penny towards food and drink, yet happily helped herself to anything and everything in the house. Yet she'd go shopping for her own stuff and hide it in her room.
Constantly utterly skint but flush enough to get to London every weekend to see her boyfriend.
Eventually we snapped and asked her to leave afShe did so within a day. When I went to clean the (now stinking) room, found hair dye stains all over the carpet and used tampon applicators in the chest of drawers.
It cost us a fortune is utilities, food and putting the room straight after she'd gone. We ended up getting rid of the bed, drawers and wardrobe. Carpet is still there for now but the stains are a constant reminder of how little respect she had for our property and how ungrateful she was for our help.
She was an absolute princess and a self centred, filthy cow.
It was the end of our friendship. She moved away and I never heard from her from the day she moved out onwards. Part of me hopes she's reading this and recognised herself and her disgusting behaviour.
