Strangest thing someone has ever done In your home?

[Ilikechips]

Seen lots of these type of threads lately and I love them! So go ahead, what’s the strangest thing anyone has ever done in your home?

Regarding the SIL poo towel story upthread. Isn't it more likely that DS did it, and lied that SIL did, to not get into trouble?

*That's a really weird story.

On the off chance it's real, do you normally wait until you've completely run out of toilet roll before buying more? I wouldn't leave someone babysitting my child without basics in the house, except in a huge emergency*

Unfortunately it's very real. I'd not long split from DSs father and wasn't coping very well (there was a lot of domestic abuse/violence) and his father didn't have DS at all or help towards finances. I don't drive so struggled with keeping on top of shopping as well as dealing with everything else that was going on. FM would watch DS for an hour whilst I went shopping with FM partner, I didn't think much of leaving them for just an hour without toilet paper to be honest but good for you that you would have coped better and wouldn't have dreamt of leaving someone without the "basics", you're clearly a far more competent person than I.

Ran upstairs and into all the bedrooms to ‘take a look around’ whilst I put the kettle on.

They had only just arrived and didn’t ask

Ex DP had a friend round for drinks, friend got drunk, got up to go to the loo, leant his head against the front room wall, unzipped his fly then peed down said wall.
Ex DP and I didn't even attempt to stop him, we sat there in horrified, stunned silence, absolutely bizarre.
We never mentioned it to the friend who clearly had no recollection 😳

My friend dropped by my house one day at 11am (very unexpectedly as we weren't close enough to have coffee in each other's homes at this point) and had a coffee. She refused all food/nibbles but stayed beyond lunch and then beyond dinner, eventually she and her 9month old made tracks home at 11:42pm. My company isn't that great tbh.

Did you not eat either?

My friend walked into my new house and said 'oh my god, how dare you have a bigger house than me!'

She tried to laugh as she was saying it, but she so clearly meant it, and her cemented view of how she was just somehow better than me was all too clear in that moment.

We weren't friends much longer...

Devonsunset reminded me of a similar one.

I was semi living with a boyfriend at his place, but still had my own flat that I continued to use as a place to work. Mutual male friend had a large workshop & ended up homeless through no fault of his own & living in his workshop . My BF at the time was working for our friend. We could see friend was struggling with his living arrangements & had a flat lined up for 8 months time, but was struggling to find anything to tide him over. So I offered him temporary use of my flat in return for work space & moving my work gear. All went fine for a few months. He was happy to have space from work etc & was really looking after my flat. Turned out a little too well.

He had a weekend off & repainted the whole flat in magnolia. I hate magnolia, he knew that as it had come up in conversation . I was then told by another mutual friend that he was planning ripping my kitchen out & replacing it with one more to his taste. It also turned out that he much preferred my flat & the area to the one he had lined up, so was planning on staying, despite not discussing it with me 😏

I had to confront him, stop the kitchen changes & tell him that he could only continue to stay if he repainted it back to how it was & left things alone as it was only ever temporary to help him out & he wasn't staying there long term & would be out by x date. I can only guess he though that somehow been my BFs boss meant he could do what he liked with my flat 🥴

Poo towel story- on top of everything else (and I believe it was probably the child, if it happened at all) why would you leave your child with someone you believed did something so bizarre? Surely you’d think them unhinged and never let them be responsible for a child again!

We had a step family member (we didn’t see that often) who came round and proceeded to go through all our kitchen cupboards, found a can of chickpeas and exclaimed “I love these!” Opened them and then opened all the drawers until they found a fork and tucked in. It was the first bizarre behaviour we saw that was food related. They went on to eat both their meal and my mums, who was next to us them, at a restaurant. While she was still eating, my mum went batshit. The family member was totally dumbfounded as to what the problem was. Weird.

@ExhaustedGrinch

Well this is outing but fuck it. I don't care. I'll never not be mad about it.

A family member (through marriage) was watching my DS while I went shopping. I made a mental note to get toilet paper as we were out. Get back and DS proudly declares FM had done a smelly poo. I was slightly puzzled because I knew we didn't have toilet paper but figured they'd sacrificed a sock. When they left I discovered a missing hand towel!

Okay, so in desperation I can see why someone would use a hand towel, whatever. I figured must be in the bin or washing machine, or they'd smuggled it out in their bag. Nope. They'd flung it in my cupboard under the stairs! WTF!

I put gloves on and placed said towel in a plastic bag. Next time FM was over to watch my son so I could shop I placed the bag with the shitty towel in ON TOP of my bin with the bag open so they would know I know. Very passive aggressive I know. Anyway I get back and FM loudly announces "Oh there was a shitty towel on the bin, DS had left it there so I've flung it in the wash" ... !!! DS says "NO I DIDN'T" to which FM again says it was DS. I was, possibly for the first time in my life, fucking speechless.

I told FM's partner about it and how hurt I was and that I didn't want them in my home alone ever again. FMs partner was mortified obviously. I've never raised it with FM (now divorced from family anyway) but it's something that really hurt me, possibly more than it made me mad, to disrespect my home in the most disgusting way and then to top it off blame my DS was just something else completely.

I think you imagine this makes them look bad and you good. Rather, you sound entirely unhinged.

Am I understanding this right - you kept the shitty towel until the FM came to watch your child again? How long was that?

The shitty towel was 100% FM and not DS. FM has form for that kind of thing hence why her and partner split up because of their embarrassing and vulgar behaviour which caused no end of problems with other family members and friends ie stealing a trolley full of food shopping that someone had left unattended for a minute outside a supermarket, shitting on the beach and subsequently herself, weeing all over hire van instead of stopping to find a bush (I could go on ...)

As for leaving her without toilet paper yes I was in the wrong, I wouldn't have minded them using the towel it was the fact they hid it in a cupboard and then blamed DS!

When we came back from holiday the dog/housesitter had left a large nearly full very smelly binbag in the downstairs loo. She said when she emptied the bin the bag seemed too big, she didn't want to waste it so continued to fill it in the toilet!

Climed up onto my top bunkbed, perched on the end and pissed onto the floor below.
She was my friend and we were both 7, but still.....

@ExhaustedGrinch Why did you have her back around to watch your DS after the shitting incident. By your recent update, she sounds unhinged. I wouldn't trust her with my children. How old is your DS?

@NeedToKnow101 Yes!! I so sympathise with that girl! But what a story to tell the grandkids if they stay together

Luckily this didn't happen to me but my ex-PIL once had friends over to stay and the husband of the couple got so drunk that in the middle of the night while still asleep he emptied his bowels on their brand new, never-before-slept-in guest bed with his poor wife asleep next to him while he did it. My ex-MIL was the cleanest of clean freaks so this about sent her over the edge. Apparently ex-FIL had to stop her from storming into the guest room and rubbing this bloke's nose in it 😂😂

This is the bit I don't get. Someone uses a towel to wipe their arse, it's gross. You either confront them or get over it, your choice. But on no planet is it normal to keep the shit smeared towel to passive aggressively demonstrate that you know.

I'm completely gobsmacked.

I appreciate the reasons why you didn't have loo roll, we've all run short from time to time. But not everyone can hold in a poo for an hour or more. Granted she should have used an old newspaper or something.

She has 5 children, 18 grandchildren (18 between her and who she was married to) ... never had any harm come to any of those so I didn't doubt her capability to look after a child. DS was 3 at the time. I had her back round because in all honesty I felt I couldn't bring the issue up with her and couldn't think of an "excuse" for her not to come the following week when it was the usual routine

My friend moved in for a while and she and our other friend loved a good night out so I would often come home from my work at a restaurant to them drunk.

This time I came home and there were four strange men in my living room that they had picked up. And why four as there were only two girls? Because they were a troupe of male strippers brought home from the club they were performing at. Apparently, "Armani", "Valencio", "Mario" and "Gio" (all blokes with good ol' Lancashire accents sitting in my two up two down terrace) were very pleased to see me turn up too. Ew.

I awkwardly walked through the living room and got on with the washing up. "Armani" came in, slid his arms around my waist and said, "I like your style..." as his chat up line. I shrugged him off and told him, "Aye mate, my washing up method is top notch eh?" And made a quick exit to my locked bedroom.

When first married many many years ago mil used to come and let herself in and go through the house. She once found a box of condoms and asked what they were.( am not sure what I said) she was older.
Then I had been outside with dh and a very posh rep joins us and tells us he had made breakfast for us all.
I just couldn't do with that at all.

@lovethisjourneyforme

Back when brother and SIL were dating (as teenagers) they used to have lots of sex in my bed when I wasn't home. I was 12/13. She also borrowed my clothes and returned them with what was very obviously cum stains on them. I would get very upset but they both found it hilarious.

It made me very possessive and obsessive about my stuff and my space, I still have issues about it even now.

Revolting. That's child abuse. Sorry you endured that. Did you tell your parents? I'd have strung them up.

I agree. It's upsetting that you knew what the stains were at that age.

Rented out my family house to a family from New Zealand many years ago who registered it on companies house and started a business from it whilst refusing to pay rent.

Former lodger smeared manure in his room after being told he was being evicted. (He did considerable damage to the house, too, but the manure smearing was the strangest.)

@NeedToKnow101
and they stayed together ❤️ I wonder if they still are?

Sadly, the Romeo and Pooliet love story of our generation didn’t work out, he did a follow up six months later saying they didn’t end up going on a second date but remained friends.
