Complaining at somebody else's house

My friend has been staying at my house for the last few days as she's over from abroad. Everything about me / my house seems to be wrong. It's too cold, too messy (I thought it was really tidy!), I cook food the wrong way, I don't have an adequate enough mirror for her to use to straighten her hair, my car is too dirty.

AIBU to think if you're staying at someone's house completely free of charge, eating their food and being driven around several hundred miles free of charge completely inconveniencing your host with the times and distances of said car journeys you don't complain this much??

And we all say we'll never repeat it. So don't.

Definitely not repeating it. She originally asked when I was free in August. As this was many months ago, I hadn't booked any holidays or any day trips so told her I was free for most of the month- thinking she meant we could meet up in the evening or at the weekend. Next thing I knew she'd invited herself to stay at mine. I'm still not quite sure how that happened. It's definitely not happening again though!

Dear god that is beyond awful. Poor you op. Talk about taking advantage!

Yes! Especially when you consider she had me take her to a number of shops where she must have spent about £50 on gifts for a few different people to take back home.

Omg, was my cousin your house guest? She doesn't just complain about the living quarters, she complains about the whole country!

@chezare84 haha could have been! She did complain an awful lot about the rain - to which i was a bit; well, yes, this is the UK you've come back to! We do get an awful lot of rain.
