what is the oddest thing someone has done when you have visited their house?

[2shoeskickedtheeasterbunny]

mine was my DB, he did warn me but tbh I was so...... [bushock]
I was kind of 'oh ok"
he put old sheets on the floor to protect his carpet from...

??? YOUR please

When I was 17 my friend lived above a warehouse. When her family went on holiday she was scared of being there alone so roped me in to stay. I slept in my friends room, she slept in her brothers room. One evening we went to a quiz at her local. We got chatting to two blokes. I wasn't slightly interested in either of them and gave neither of them the impression I was. They walked us home and it was my clear my friend was up for some shagging.
She and one of the blokes paired off and disappeared to her brothers room where they proceeded to have loud sex. The other bloke took this as his cue to start pawing me. I told him in no uncertain terms to back off. I excused myself and locked myself in the bathroom to gather my thoughts and form strategies. I heard a door slam and when I went back to the living room he'd gone. I was so relieved. After 10 minutes I decided to head off to bed. I opened the door, switched on the light only to be confronted with the image of this bloke lying on my bed masturbating.He smiled and asked me to suck him off. I was sickened and shocked. I left the room and slept on the freezing couch with only my coat for warmth. In the morning I heard both blokes leaving. I overheard "my" bloke say that he found me repulsive and kicked me to the kerb (hence me sleeping on the couch). I said nothing as I was glad they were leaving. My friend came in and asked how it went. I asked if she knew he would get in my bed? She said yes. She was shocked I wasn't keen and said (and I quote) "At your size, you should be grateful someone wants to sleep with you!" I was a 16 if anyone wants to know.

OP, when I go to a restaurant I ask for an out of the way table so the buggy doesn't get under everyone's feet. Common courtesy I thought. I think perhaps you're reading more in to your brother's actions than is necessary.

[2shoeskickedtheeasterbunny]

AlpinePony my dd is not in a buggy, she is not a a small child either," so she should not be put out of the way" she should be just "put" at the table like anyone else.

[AlpinePony]

Whatever. I'm just not a fan of getting in other people's way, be it buggy/bags of shopping/leaving my chair out etc., etc. Sorry but I think you're way overeacting about this.

An old school friend invited H and me for a party. We drove hundreds of miles. After a few drinks, it became obvious it was a partner-swapping party - apparently, they each shagged a neighbour, working their way around the close by house number

We were stuck there. We were young - these days, I'd have demanded duvets and slept in the car. But, having made it clear I didn't want to shag her neighbours, I tried to stay friendly by stationing myself in the kitchen to make the snacks, open bottles, etc. This worked until my friend came in for a chat. She perched on the worktop, chatting away, while one of the men came in and had sex with her!

H and I spent the rest of the party freezing in the garden, on our own ... with my friend's husband! :(

We declined her next invite.

[garlicbunny]

Nice, Alpine. Did you miss dd's wheelchair?

[Thumbbunny]

Alpine, back off. 2shoes' DD is, as has been further pointed out, in a wheelchair. Unless you happen to believe that people in wheelchairs should be put out of the way as well, of course?

WHEELCHAIR Alpine NOT a "pushchair"!!!

[FunnysInLaJardin]

we were kicked out of MIL's house at aprox 11pm on evening after an argument about god knows what. She has a rather 'Jeremy Kyle' attitude. We were supposed to be staying as we lived 600 miles away. We ended up sleeping in the car suffice to say it was years before we agreed to stay with her again. Oh and unknown to me I was pregnant with our first DC who we lost to a MMC. I still think of her as partly to blame........[bwink]

At a relative's wedding they had a sit-down-meal reception in a function room of a nice pub.

The tables were laid with two wine glasses on them. The food was served by the waiting staff and everyone waited for wine to appear, which it never did.

There was no alcohol served with dinner. I wish they'd just said "if you want a drink please go to the bar". We didn't get one as we thought we would have been being rude, as we just expected it to arrive eventually.

(If we'd known we could have happily gone to the bar and bought wine for everyone, there were only about 20 guests.)

The bride and groom sat on a table on their own, and didn't say a word to each other. (They're both quiet people I guess). It was an odd wedding!

We were invited to dh's brother's house to teach them how to use their new camera (why they couldn't read an instruction manual...).

So we turn up, knock and ring the bell for 15minutes. Ring them. No answer.

We rang their daughter who said they were in.

After another 10 minutes dh's brother opened the door and said "sorry we didnt' hear you."

Taught them how to use the camera (sis in law in a short t-shirt nightie - she's 4 stones overweight).

The she cooks chicken nuggets and chips for dd, gave herself a portion and said "There's cheese in the garage if you want some, Celia"!!!!

She is an ignorant cow at the best of times, but that took the biscuit.

[threeleftfeet]

"sis in law in a short t-shirt nightie - she's 4 stones overweight"

Are you aware how bitchy that sounds? I am probably at least 4 stones overweight by your judgement. If I choose to wear a nightie in my own home that's up to me! Perhaps she sees you as family and doesn't feel the need to get dressed to receive you.

If your problem was just the nightie, why mention the weight?

I'll leave it at that - this is a fun and lighthearted thread, and perhaps you didn't mean it to come across like it did.

Alpine YABU (I know this isn't an AIBU thread)

Some of these posts have made me laugh my head off. I can't really think of any outstanding freakery.... but I do have one that stands out.

One summer's day there was a family gathering - lots of aunts, uncles, kids etc etc. We'd had a lovely meal and had gone back to a relative's house. It was a boiling day, seriously warm and sunny. Everyone was sweating, kids running round in just their nappies etc. The hostess insisted on lighting the fire in her living room (the room we were all sitting in) and she couldn't understand why the rest of us thought lighting the fire was insanity. Even she herself said that it was very warm already Her son almost had to wrestle the firelighters and matches out of her hands!

[CeliaFate]

threeleftfeet I think you're projecting your own issues about your weight onto me.

[threeleftfeet]

OK, then why did you mention her weight, please enlighten me?!

[CeliaFate]

Because it's completely odd to me (which was the question the OP asked) to appear half dressed in front of guests when you're so overweight you have to lose 4stones before the hospital will even think about you for surgery (which is true in her case).
I wouldn't do that, I think it's odd.

Many years ago, a girl I worked with asked another friend and I to go to her house for a meal before we all went on a girl's night out. We both lived a quite a long way away so we were very grateful as it saved us going home first.

However once we got to her house, where she lived with her DM and DD we were confronted with this dog from hell! I love animals and really this dog wasn't frightening it was just extremely energetic, plus it was very, very stinky and I mean it brought tears to your eyes!

So we sit down on the settee and her DM brings in our meal, it was beans on toast. Lovely, lots of buttered hot toast and lovely china plates but all the while we are eating this mad dog is trying to climb up our legs to get to our food and no one takes a blind bit of notice. We ended up with the plates in the air over our heads, nervously chuckling and splattered in nasty stinking drool.

Worse was to come, when we had finished, her DM took our plates and just put them on the floor at which point the dog was allowed to lick them clean, his mission accomplished. Her DM went to to explain that they hardly had to do any washing up in their house, the dog made such a good job........and she wasn't joking!!!! My other friend and I just sat there stunned![bushock]

Not only that but later my other friend told me that when she had eaten her last piece of toast, the bottom of the plate had the remains of an old fried egg, just the yellow scrapings, so the dog must have missed that bit from a previous meal.[busad]

Oh,now I've remembered another!

My boss and his wife went to stay with her old friends. And slept in a bed they later discovered was full of cold, cooked spaghetti.

[KatieMiddleton]

When I was a child I used to have piano lessons at the teacher's home. She was generally a bit bonkers (for example she had been separated for years yet had several photographs of her wedding to a Fred West look-a-like on display and the whole place stank of cat litter) but the oddest thing she ever did was change her tights while giving me a lesson. She used to sit behind me and I could hear her jumping up and down to get them on. I did the only sensible thing. Kept playing.

[maybeIwillmaybeIwont]

Thank you 2shoes

[MNHubbie]

I wish I could remember one that I could tell on here. [bugrin] at all I've seen so far though (well those that aren't [buangry]).

[fuzzpig]

Maybe they were trying to imply it was pasta their bedtime.
