Of course I'll drop all the towels I've been using on the floor and leave a half eaten bowl of coagulating cereal next to the sink. Having great fun staying at my daughter's first proper flat and she has a fab sense of humour. What else could I do?

Waken her up at 6:00 am by forcibly lifting her eyelids and tell her you need your bum wiped.

hahahahaha

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 20/08/2019 12:19

con her into buying you overpriced tat.from Topshop. Stain it with make up the first time you wear it. but make sure you insist it will be perfect for X's birthday/wedding/trip out. Tell you how useful it will be. How it's the basis of a capsule wardrobe. Never wear it ever and send to charity shop 6 months later.

Whenever she talks to you, whatever she says, respond with
"That's SO unfair!"
then storm off to a friend's house.

When you get back (you may want to demand she comes out to give you a lift home), bang on & on about how cool your friend's parents are, & how friend gets to do Anything She Wants.
Lay this on thick enough & you'll be able to "borrow" £20 to waste in Superdrug.

Tell her you want a drink.

When she makes you one, sob pitifully because it's in the wrong cup.

When she makes you one in the 'right' cup, sob even harder, because you didn't want that drink.

Bring home a random dog.

Ask, plead and beg for something outrageous, preferably the day before pay day. Cry when she doesn't get it. Then go and do the same to her soft in the head partner. Smirk triumphantly when it's bought.

Tantrum until you receive Cutted Up Pears.

Emily312 · 20/08/2019 12:30

When she gives you food look at her in disgust and throw it all over the floor , not breaking eye contact as you do so.
Then cry uncontrollably

Grambler · 20/08/2019 12:37

Snarl "whhhaaaaaattttt" whenever she asks you a perfectly reasonable questions like whether you'd like a cup of tea brought to you.

Slam all the doors. Unless it is at all drafty in which case leave them all open. Perhaps slam them and then open them quietly?

Stomp. Up and down the stairs and all around, unless she's out, in which case walk normally.

Cut all your toenails whilst sitting on the sofa or even better in her bed. Don't even think about trying to catch the bits.

SheisMammyof2 · 20/08/2019 12:38

Unplug all her devices while charging so you can charge your own.
Abandon your shoes in doorways so she can trip over them.
When making breakfast leave the fridge wide open and the milk on the countertop for her to discover when she gets home from work.
Every time she attempts to go to the bathroom yell her name hysterically from another floor.

3dogs2cats · 20/08/2019 12:51

Tell her that her partner, friends, neighbours and colleagues are creepy.
Respond to every conversational opener by telling her she is tragic.
Change your plans frequently assume that she has no life and therefore can’t be inconvenienced. Tell her she has no life.
Invite your friends round and tell her to keep out of the way then find her and scream at her for not making cakes, or buying decent food.

Pinkmonkeybird · 20/08/2019 12:57

Leave used make-up wipes in random places.

BigusBumus · 20/08/2019 12:57

Steal all the AA batteries out of the family TV remotes controls to put into your XBox controller (male version of this).

froufroufoxes · 20/08/2019 12:59

Decorate her furniture with stickers

Tupperwarelid · 20/08/2019 13:06

Watch her hang the washing out. Later shout repeatedly to her that it's raining and the washing is getting wet. Do not move from your chair at any point.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 20/08/2019 13:06

Apple core and banana skin under the bed.
If you can manage it, a cereal bowl with Ready Brek dried on like concrete is a good addition.

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 20/08/2019 13:06

Find something she's tidied away. Pronounce that doesn't go there. Get it out and leave it hanging around again.

mumwon · 20/08/2019 13:06

forget your filling the bath until the water comes through the electric light in the kitchen & shorts the electric, leave pan on cooker frying something &only notice it when the alarm goes off & they have to rush into with damp tea towel or fire blanket, leave key inside of door & go out so when she comes in she has to get a new lock & call out emergency key man (I am actually looking at you ds!), get yourself locked in between front door & inner door without key & frantically ring whilst they are in another town (see above). do something to embarrass them in shop preferably when they are with friends

Deathraystare · 20/08/2019 13:09

oh yes. Dyeing hair. If you can manage it, do a bit of flicking only in the rooms with pale carpet in.

(Grins) Was going to mention this. I was guilty of it myself!!!

Deathraystare · 20/08/2019 13:11

Sounds like you are going to have fun! Hope it doesn't tire you out!!!

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 20/08/2019 13:12

Remove all the lugs from all her remote controls so every time she picks them up the batteries fall out.

AlrightBabby · 20/08/2019 13:12

drop straighteners or a hot iron in a prominent place on the carpet, not the spot that you've already trodden in dozens of bronzing balls, that would show no dedication at all Grin

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 20/08/2019 13:13

If her flat is new and rented go round and decorate every vertical surface with a permanent marker pen. Twice.

lakeswimmer · 20/08/2019 13:14

Put fake tan on ( ask her to do your back ) then sleep in nice clean white sheets
This^

Also, blue nail varnish on nice clean white sheets and newly purchased furniture

Borrow her electric shaver without asking, use all the charge up so when she eventually finds it she cant use it

Take her make up and toiletries and put them in with your own stuff as if they were always yours

Agree with wet towels on the floor and bed, clean washing strewn around the room and eventually put back in the wash without wearing and rolling around in the living room claiming "there's nothing to eat".

Dotty1970 · 20/08/2019 13:14

I can't wait for this...... Wee on the toilet seat 🤣, leave odd socks in various rooms
