Having someone or a bunch of people over to your house is a huge responsibility. People tend to do everything to cater to those people and let them feel at home, but with boundaries.
However, some guests take it literally and just act like your home is theirs and tend to mess around, which can make your blood boil. Regardless of their actions, you have two options; let them or kick them out.
1. Bare And Nasty
My wife's friends had stayed over after a party because they lived pretty far away. I was making coffee in the kitchen in the morning, and the friend's wife came up the basement stairs into the kitchen wearing nothing but underwear.
She didn't say anything to me.
She just shuffled past and went back into the spare bedroom. I was curious about what she was doing down there, so I went and checked.
It turns out that in her drunken state, she couldn't find either one of the bathrooms upstairs on the main level, so she went into the basement and pooped beneath the stairs all over the floor.
When her husband came out of the bedroom, I told him that he had a mess to clean up and directed him to the basement so he could find his wife's surprise.
That's when he decided to use our clean bath towels to smear her poop all over my basement floor. Then he just tossed the towels into the laundry tub.
I never spoke to either one of them again. One good thing came out of it, though. We now get to say, "Poop, the basement drunk," at the top of the drunkenness meter.

2. Tough One
Let’s call her Misty. My roommate met her at a party and invited her back. She stayed the night, yeah, whatever.
But then didn't leave the next day. She just hung out. Even asked if we were going to buy more soda. She stayed the night again on the couch.
Two days later, we drove her to a family member's house just to get rid of her.
This happened in several different states. This happened in Alabama. Apparently, this behavior is common for people named like her. The last I knew, she'd gotten knocked up by some biker dude.

3. Two Times
My friend was too forgiving. One night, he had a small get-together where one of his friends got hammered and had to stay the night with his girlfriend in tow.
My friend let that guy and his girlfriend sleep in his bed. At some point during the night, the dude pooped the bed, got up, and called a cab to take him home.
He didn't even wake his girlfriend up to tell her he was leaving and that there was a nice Cleveland Steamer right next to her.
He left his girlfriend in a stranger's (to her) house and bed with a pile of dump next to her.
For whatever reason, he allowed that guy into his home to drink again.
Of course, he got blackout drunk again and had to stay the night. But this time, he didn't poop on the bed or the couch. He got up, opened the dryer, and pooped inside.
At least he didn't disappear into the night at that time. My friend made him clean it up and told him never to come back to his place again.

4. Fell In The Trap
My roommate and I were coming home from a party at 2:00 am. We walked past a cute woman standing on the street corner crying and stopped to check on her.
She said she'd gotten in a fight with her boyfriend, and he'd kicked her out. We took her to our place and let her sleep on the couch.
The next day, she just hangs out and watches football all day. We were going back out that night, and she invited herself along.
She went back to her place and came back a little later with a suitcase. Went out that night, and she crashed on the couch again.
She stays all day Sunday, but she's helping clean the house, so neither of us says anything. Monday morning at 6:00 am, I heard her arguing with my roommate.
He's already carried her stuff out on the porch, and he's demanding she get the hell out because, as I quote, "It's Monday. All trash must go to the curb on Mondays."

5. Dreadful Noise
This one happened to my friends. They had some friends from out of town, and they all went out and got hammered. They lived in a smallish apartment, so things were tight.
In the middle of the night, my friend heard weird liquid sounds coming from the hall outside her bedroom door.
Then, a short while later, some plops.
And then the smell hit. One of the guests did both a number one and a number two in the hallway, just outside the bedroom door, feet away from the actual bathroom. When he woke up, he had no memory of it whatsoever.

6. Lazy Dude
This happened on New Year's Eve when my friend was throwing one year. I had traveled around 300 miles to visit her and be there for the party, so I was staying there for a few days. As far as I'm concerned, that was my home for those few days, so it counts.
One guy who came to the party didn't leave the next day. This wasn't an issue in itself, except he was sleeping on the couch in the living room, and there was nowhere else to sit.
The kitchen was too cold to hang out in (it was a converted barn house in Northern England in the middle of winter.
It was way too draughty, so the living room was the only warm place in the house).
He didn't just stay there for the next day but the day after, too. Lying on the couch the whole time. The rest of us had to sit on the floor.
The kicker? This guy only lived around the corner from my friend. Literally, a couple of hundred yards to walk back to his place. We eventually had to ask him to leave.

7. The Bugger
I've had one kind of friend stay on my couch once-- no reason either. She just didn't want to take an Uber home, and the other friend we were hanging out with said his roommate wouldn't want anyone sleeping on the couch, so I got stuck with her somehow.
Anyway, I told her I'd like to sleep late on my day off, so she's welcome to leave whenever she wakes up. Don't worry about locking the door or anything.
She starts texting me at 9 to see if I'm awake. I turn off my phone. She knocks on my door at 11 and asks if I'm awake. I begrudgingly woke up and found out my roommate had been entertaining her for two hours since my roommate woke up.
For some reason, the friend was still there. I made us a super quick breakfast, made some lies about having to do chores to finally get her to leave, and then made a giant lunch as a thank-you to my roommate.

8. Abused Opportunity
My mom was my worst guest ever. We moved her because she lost her job and was staying with random people. She never offered to help with anything.
She always left my house a pig sty at all times, and when she would get her unemployment, she'd buy herself the most random crap.
She would also stay up all hours of the night and get incredibly crappy in the morning if my young children would wake her up.
She would purposely get in awful fights with my husband because she hated him and didn't want me married to him. The audacity.
I asked her if she would watch my children so I could go back to work to help support her, and she freaked out because I wasn't planning on paying her to babysit. After two years (I really, really tried to ignore it and continue helping), we had to kick her out.

9. The Freak
When I was 17, my older brother brought two of his college friends from school to stay for a weekend in the town where he was raised.
They went to the Citadel in Charleston, so they are "cadet-ish." Anyway, my mom caught one of them smelling my sister's stockings.
My mom kind of freaked and was in semi-shock and came in and told my brother in front of me and the other friend. It was such an irritating moment.
Even more awkward was that the guy tried to play it off as if he thought it was MY room and was looking for something illegal.
He said he was sniffing because he could smell it somewhere and wanted to smoke. My mom wanted so hard to believe this that she actually accused me of having it in my room, which was upstairs.

10. Entitled Parents
When I moved out into my own place, my mum and dad helped me out on two consecutive weekends, giving the rooms a quick coat of paint.
In their eyes, "helping me with MY house = means inviting themselves over at any time." Three weeks settled into my new place, and every evening, they would show up unannounced.
They would always have one of their friends with them also for no reason. I've had a hard day at work, and it's 8 pm. Can't you just leave me in peace? But no, it continued despite my blatant hints about giving a person space.
About 2 months went by, and they were still as annoying as ever.
Then, one day, I got a call from my girlfriend, who was staying over, saying she thought my parents were "in the kitchen, and she had no idea what to do."
They had let themselves in my house through the back and just started moving things around while I was at work. My girlfriend was still upstairs in bed and hadn't met them yet.
I immediately went home "for lunch" and asked them what the heck they were doing. They gave me the blankest look as if it was normal to barge into someone's home while they weren't there.
I was major pissed off and didn't speak to them for a month, I also changed the locks, and I finally think they got the message.

11. Fruit Lover
As someone who grew up with a cottage - and many guests coming up - we have mattress protectors on all of the beds. Bed-wetters, drink-spillers, food in bed eaters, etc.
As for our worst guest, our family friend's son (20 years old) had a habit of eating an apple before bed every night.
But every night, he took that apple into bed, ate it, and left the core down the side of the bed.
After having them up for a week, we discovered a stash of apple cores shoved down the side of the bed. It would have been so easy just to throw them out!

12. Trading Time
My roommate's friend needed a place to crash while he found an apartment. We had a spare room, but he didn't want to rent it.
After three weeks, it became obvious he was trying to stay with us for free when he brought all of his clothes and stuff. So we charged him rent for next month if he planned to stay longer.
Stole our Xbox and disappeared. But he left all his stuff, which was worth a lot more. We didn't bother calling the cops, so we just told him to bring back the Xbox, or he couldn't get his stuff. He never responded, and we just made a 1k profit selling his crap.

13. Money Threat
My Mum. She helped pay the deposit for me, then treated it like she owned the place whenever she needed somewhere to stay.
It was to the point that my girlfriend threatened to move out over how she was treated.
Whenever I raised the issue, she would remind me that without her, I wouldn't have a place to live.
I sold the place at auction eventually, gave her back her deposit, and cut her out of my life. You understand this not purely, but it was a big part of it.

14. Like A Puppet
My Mum is all about control. I didn't realize it for a long time, but she was only happy when she had something to hold over my head.
I think she realized that giving me money towards a deposit was going to be one of her last chances to keep some level of control over me once I left home.
I would have been happy renting a flat or buying somewhere cheap that I could afford, but she wore me down into believing that a house would be a better investment.
I mean, ultimately, it was, but I still regret the damage it caused to my relationship with my ex. I would come home and find my Mum had cooked some stinky fish in my kitchen because it was "healthy."
The house would stink for days at a time afterward. Nothing is worse than feeling like you don't have control of your own life, especially in your home.

15. Invaded Privacy
My ex and I bought a house together about 10 years ago, and her entire family was very involved. Her grandparents lent us the cash for the down payment, and her father helped with landscaping outside.
I personally had to do all the renovations on the inside and most of the outside over a period of two months or so. The house wasn't really livable yet, so we didn't notice that we'd had guests a few times in those two months.
Once we'd moved in, her father just continued letting himself into the house at random times during the day. I would be home working, and a man would suddenly silently appear behind me.
Freaked me out. For context, I'm a woman who makes websites and listens to loud music while working. My ex worked about 2km away and was not home during these inspections.
He knew she wouldn't be there because her schedule was always the same. I was as nice as I could be about it, but I don't like surprises in the slightest.
My ex refused to accept that this was weird or ask for the key back, and it was a contributing factor in our break-up the next year because he just wouldn't stop doing it.
I don't know why he was even there - no one did. He just liked to show up randomly and "check on things" every couple of weeks. Nice people, but not a family I wanted to be married into.
And before anyone suggests that he was trying to sleep with me, I am not a pretty girl. I am totally androgynous looking and not his type.
He was just nosy and felt entitled because he'd been involved in the home purchasing and renovation process, and he was a cop.

16. Under The Shirt
When my brother was younger, about 7 or 8, we used to have another kid his age playing with him at our place. He was the grandson of our cleaning lady.
One day, we realized some of my brother's favorite play cars were nowhere to be found, and we remembered the kid enjoyed playing with those very much, so we started getting suspicious.
Until it's my bro's birthday, and we invite all his friends over and see that other kid trying to hide more cars under his clothes when everyone else is distracted.
Of course, we took those from him, but we couldn't prove he had the others because his mother and grandmother always backed his story.
He was making my little brother cry over that limited edition Cars figure that took months and months to find for sale and then was stolen by that kid. Curiously or not, the kid's grandmother was fired from our house some years later. Guess why: stealing.

17. Let It Go
In middle school, I had a friend over. I had some new pajamas, and we had a sleepover at my house. The next day after she left, I couldn't find them.
I went to her house once and found them in her room. That witch stole my clothes! (I am not sure if she took anything else) I let her keep them, though.
I figured she needed them more than I did since her family was very much broke, her parents were going through a divorce, and most of the stuff she had was just handed down to her.
I don't know what happened to her. I tried looking for her on Facebook, but I don't remember her last name. It's been about 9 years.

18. Small World
This happened when I was still in elementary school. Friends of my mom's had their nephew with them, and we played with them for some time.
It was a couple of days after my birthday, and I had 50DM (currency before the € in Germany, roughly ~25€) in a jar in my room. It was gone after they left.
My mom called her friends, and I eventually got it back, but the little kid got in trouble.
I have never seen him again for 20 years.
But lately, I discovered that a "co-worker" of mine is actually him (my mom saw him in a picture on my phone and pointed it out).
I don't think he knows who I am, and I will not tell him cause it's a long, long time ago, and he does a good job and (I don't really know him) seems like a decent guy nowadays.

19. Egg Explosion
Let a friend of mine crash on my couch for a few days until he got drunk one night after I was in bed and decided to boil some eggs.
Once happily boiling, he passed out. Eventually, all the water in the pan boiled off, and the eggs fused themselves to the pan. Shortly after that, the pan itself began to melt on the burner.
I woke up to the smoke detector going off and a cloud of noxious black smoke throughout my apartment. The smell of it lasted for several months despite my best efforts to fumigate. Good times.

20. Missing Pet
There was a guy across the street who was nearly the same age as me growing up, so we hung out occasionally and played video games and stuff.
One day, I had him over to show him the new pet turtle my parents just got me. We kept him in a water feature in the backyard. Had him for about a week, then the turtle disappeared.
I was disappointed but figured he'd just waddled away as it was a pretty open backyard. Then, a few days later, I was standing there as my mother was talking to his mother on the street.
His mother just casually threw in that her son hadn't been around lately as he had saved up his money and bought himself a turtle.
I jumped in and told them that my turtle had gone missing - but she wouldn't hear it. She stood by him, just happening to buy a turtle the same week mine disappeared.
Without any solid proof, there was nothing we could do about it. But I know that guy stole my turtle.

21. Expected Too Much
It was not at my house, but last year, my mom rented an apartment at the beach for the holidays and invited her cousin to spend some time with us.
It was a really small apartment, with a double bed and a double sofa bed, just enough for a family of 4 to spend a few days.
The thing is, she told her cousin to "spend some time," meaning "come by, we'll have a barbecue and a few beers, and then you go home," as she had done before, but what she understood was "come to spend the holidays with us."
She arrived with her husband and freeloading son (a 25-year-old who has a kid and no job) with nothing but their clothes and pillows.
No inflatable mattress, sleeping bag, linens, towels, nothing.
Three days in, she finally realized we didn't want them there, nor was there space for 7 people in the tiny apartment, and went home.

22. Invitation Mistake
My parents had a high school reunion a few summers back. My mom's old friend lived across the country and wanted to attend.
My dad offered our house, which is a huge deal because he hates guests. So he thinks my mom's friend will show up for three nights at the most.
Nope. Her husband and their two kids plan to come for a week and a half. They literally kicked me out of my room, and I had to stay with my boyfriend for the time.
The kids were awful. There was an older brother who would make up crap all the time and a younger daughter. She was 11 and still wore diapers to bed, which is fine.
However, when I returned to my room, the trash was full of used diapers, and I think I remember finding one in my closet, but I am not sure.
Anyway, they more or less understood how unwelcome they were and stayed at a hotel an hour away for the last few days. My dad was angry and never wanted to offer our home to another guest.

23. Just A Visitor
My husband and I hosted my friend's graduation party, and her brother really, really, really hated my dog. My dog's a lab-pit-collie mix who is super energetic but also suuuuuper affectionate and chill once you start petting him.
His favorite is to basically cuddle up right next to you and have you rub his belly. And as soon as you sit down on the couch, you're fair game.
Her brother kept pushing my dog off the couch, so eventually, my friend (his sister) pushed her brother off the couch and was like, "This is HIS house, not yours. Stop being a jerk."
My dog, meanwhile, is still trying to get the brother to rub his belly. My dog is the best person ever.

24. Guest Of Guest
I was 18, living in my dad's house after he got married and moved in with his new wife. I invited a local friend to stay with me for a week, just to get out of her house.
She invited another friend. No problem so far.
However, I had leftover pizza in the fridge and came home one night after work looking forward to eating it.
I opened the pizza box, and not only was it gone, but there was a used maxi pad in the box. I was so infuriated and decided to kick them out.

25. Cat Hater
We had one of my dad's friends visit a long time ago, and he really hated cats. So much so to the point where he would kick our own cat under the table.
Literally, he had been in our house for 5 minutes, and he kicked our cat in the hallway. What a freaking bastard that guy was.
So our cat peed in his shoes and pooped in his suitcase the day he was leaving. We all thought he deserved that. Who enters other people’s houses and attacks their pets? Gosh.
[deleted]
26. Crazy One
On our first anniversary, my girlfriend and I decided to go out of town for the weekend. We needed someone to look after our cat; my friend Andrew was the only guy available.
In hindsight, it was a total mistake asking him to do it because he was a complete slob. Still, he was our only option, and we figured he'd have enough decency not to mess up our place. We were wrong.
The first thing we noticed when we got home was that almost all of our dishes were dirty and stacked in a big pile in the sink.
We discovered a half-eaten apple pie covered in chicken bones in the fridge. Investigating further, I found that he had broken some of my things, supposedly by accident.
But the real surprise was when we went into the basement to do laundry. He had built a big fort out of cardboard boxes with some rotting pizza left inside.
I later discovered that he had been using my video camera and recorded himself "living" in the box fort, eating chicken wings, and wearing my clothes while a friend of his danced around totally naked in the background.

27. Nasty Bed
In my sophomore year of college, my best friend and I decided to split a room in a house with some other people to save money on rent.
In order to both fit inside this small room, we bought cheap loft beds and stuck our desks underneath them. It was an old house, and the loft beds were pretty high, so we only had a foot or two feet of clearance above these things.
It wasn't the easiest setup to get in and out of. You literally had to slither. We were broke, but it worked. So, one weekend, a friend of mine from high school decided to come visit.
Let's call her "Nicole." My housemates throw a huge party: several kegs, 75-ish people, the works. We all get wasted, said a friend from high school.
She heads up to my room early into the night, slithers into the loft bed, and passes out. A little while later, a friend of mine walks up to me with a horrified look on his face. "Lawna, you need to go look in your room."
Lo and behold, Nicole had gotten sick in her sleep. Disoriented and sloppy drunk, she hadn't been able to slither back out of the loft.
So she had leaned over the side and, in spectacular fashion, spewed in a perfect semicircle of rainbow-colored vomit around the bed. I don't know how one body can hold that much vomit. It was everywhere.
Somehow, it even splattered up onto the desk that was directly below the bed. I cleaned up as best I could but kept finding flecks of vomit on things for months. Thanks, Nicole. Still one of my best friends, though.

28. No More Kind Me
This happened when I was in college. Five of us shared a house. One guy left for summer and sublet his room to a couple. Gay couple, they were fine except...
They took pity on a "homeless" kid. He was the child of some rich folks in town but ran away because of dad issues. This kid they let in had horrible hygiene and smelled awful.
He didn't pay for rent or food. Used up our food and toiletries and still smelled nasty because of some nasty foot rot that he wouldn't seek medical help for. I had to be the bad guy and kick him out.

29. Gone Mad And Dirty
My boyfriend and I had a friend come over for drinks and Cards Against Humanity, and said friend proceeded to get pretty drunk.
He then decided to invite his 3 friends over, which I had no problem with. Things started getting really bad when my friend got wasted to the point of being belligerent, walked outside our apartment, and started beating on my neighbor's sliding glass door, trying to fight him.
We finally wrangled him back in and tried to get him to just sit down, but he just kept screaming at us. Eventually, he pushed me over, and my boyfriend had had enough.
Boyfriend proceeded to tackle him towards the door (which put a lovely hole in the wall), punched him and threw his arse outside.
Fast forward about 15 minutes later, we hear screaming from outside. We open the door and hear said friend across the street yelling as loud as he can at some random ass dude.
Naturally, my boyfriend and I gather some blankets and park our arses in the bed of his truck to watch the show unravel. The friend ended up punching some dude's front door windows out, cut his hand up, and we heard sirens coming down the street.
Cops get there, and all you hear is, "Are you freaking kidding me?!" being screamed by a friend. They carted him off to the hospital, where he ended up getting 30 staples in his hand and arm due to the shattered glass and an F-4 burglary charge. Needless to say, the friend is no longer allowed in my house.

30. Sensitive Walls
We had a housewarming about 6 months ago. Lots of drunk people generally behave pretty well. A few people ended up crashing all over the place.
My room and my roommate's room are a little strange because the walls are made of Styrofoam, and it can be damaged really easily. Someone carved it on my roommate's wall with scissors. HELLO JUSTIN I LIKE YOUR ROOM.
I asked the owner why they're styrofoam, and he said he had no idea; the previous owner had done it. The walls really are styrofoam, but it is a little harder than what you would use to back something.
It is still pretty fragile. If I flick my wall, I will leave a dent. It's a 6 bedroom house, but only 2 rooms are like this. I think it used to be some kind of office or something. They look like white bricks from far away because they're shaped into squares about 30cm by 30cm.

31. Home Destroyer
My dad's old friend... His name was Tom. Tom was in town and needed somewhere to stay, so he showed up at my house uninvited.
My dad, being a good friend, decided to let him stay with us for the next couple of days until he figured his crap out. On the first night, he ran out of alcohol and decided to raid the cupboards to see what he could find.
He found rubbing alcohol and decided to drink that. He puked everywhere. He also left the cutting board on the stove. He blamed me for all of this. My dad's not an idiot and didn't believe this for a second. Tom is now halfway home.

32. Spoiled Twat
Mother's husband's daughter. She showed up on two hours' notice with her boyfriend and their dog. They stayed the night, then went to see her grandparents. Taking our entire supply of dog food with them. For two days.
Because her dad is such a narcissistic twatwaffle, I had to purchase my own separate groceries rather than just toss money into a collective fund for the whole household.
Now because her father never punished her, she also grew up to be a narcissistic person. As a result, I had to mark the food I purchased explicitly. Which didn't matter because she'd eat and drink my stuff anyway.
So would Mom's husband, despite him having thrown a fit over food, which resulted in me purchasing my own food in the first place.
So yeah, this wonderful human being threw a fit one night because I figured that he was a decent human being and had made a plate of food for my mother since she was working.
When she got home, I asked if I could have it, and since she was starting a vegan thing, she said I could. Nope. His seconds. He threw a temper tantrum over two pork chops and a baked potato.
So that particular weekend, my mum’s bf, his daughter, and their guest were all eating my leftover spaghetti, despite it being my quite clearly labeled spaghetti. That I had bought, paid for, and cooked myself. They're literally stealing food from a disabled dude on food stamps.
After the daughter left, while his buddy was still there, I told him he needed to pay me back for the food they'd eaten and the pop his daughter and her BF had drank.
"OMG! MY DAUGHTER IS NOT A POP STEALER! SHE MUST NOT KNOWN THAT THEY WERE YOURS!"
Which is what he'd said the last time. So, to get at my sodas, they would have had to remove two strips of masking tape that said, "VK'S SODA, DO NOT DRINK!" So I told him that if his daughter wasn't a pop stealer, she was either blind, illiterate or mentally retarded.
"OH MY GOD, THEY'RE LIKE FIFTY CENTS!" And they'd drunken eight of them. That's four bucks. Or, you know, about the same value of foodstuffs that you'd pitched a fit over and forced me to purchase and maintain my own separate stock of food.
And despite dropping by fewer times than I can count on my fingers while I was living there, she insisted on having to maintain a bedroom there in which no one else was allowed to sleep.
Daughter there twice a year? ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE A BEDROOM! My siblings and niece, are there every other weekend? SCREW THEM, THEY CAN SLEEP ON THE COUCH!"

33. Forced Entry
My husband’s old friend stayed with us for two weeks while we were living in Japan. He was very smug and irritating, an instant ‘expert’ on Japan after a few days when we had been living there for two years.
Finally, finally, he left on a Friday. My husband and I had separate plans on Saturday. I returned in the afternoon to an unlocked door and the sound of the TV. I thought hubby had returned early.
Nope. It was Old Friend - thinking we had gone for the weekend, he had broken into our apartment for an extra two-night stay.
“You weren’t supposed to be here!” he protested - and he refused to leave until my husband came back home and told Old Pal personally that he had overstayed his welcome.

34. Feel At Home
My ex-husband had a less-than-savory friend. He walked into my home once and helped himself to my fridge without asking.
Then, when he got himself some silverware, he had the audacity to insult it and say it looked like something a grandmother would have. Well, yes, it does, since it's hers, and she gave it to me.
Another time, he went to my MIL's house when we told him we didn't want to hang out. We weren't even home yet! He came in and sat down.
He also ordered a pizza that he refused to share with my MIL or BIL and just sat there watching TV for two hours until we got back from whatever we were doing.

35. Home For Fleas
I let a friend & her dog stay at my house over the weekend while I was away. She left my kitchen a disaster, the back door unlocked, & best of all—-FLEAS.
I had asked her directly if her dog was on flea prevention & she assured me it was. After I was swarmed with fleas in my living room.
I questioned her again & she admitted that the “flea prevention” she was giving the dog were yeast & garlic tablets. She made no offer to help me treat the house or reimburse me. She was not invited back.

36. Nonchalant Mom
My mother's friend and her children went on a vacation with us. We were sitting in the common area of the place we were staying at and started chatting to some strangers there.
The friend's kid got up, walked to the coffee table, and just opened the stranger's bag of chips and started eating. The kid never asked first.
Now, kids are stupid. He was 14 but still a kid. The issue was that his mother did absolutely nothing. She watched him get up.
Watched him open it. And watched him start eating. One of the strangers just paused for a second, "Uhh. Sure.. feel free to eat some."

37. Not Welcome Anymore
A friend of my SO’s. Showed up after 11 pm on a weeknight with some other random friend. Came home after 11 pm every night of the stay, knowing we had to work in the morning.
They weren’t quiet either. Home and ready to party and try to get us to drink. They spilled things and didn’t wipe them up, left glassware everywhere, used fancy dishes, and never picked up after themselves.
Never asked me anything about myself, insulted my restaurant recommendations, cheered against my team for no reason when I had the game on, and made a comment about how there must be a lot of “gay stuff” going on in my brother’s rehab stay.
Never stopped talking and boasting and was just obnoxious to be around. My SO was pissed when they left but now doesn’t seem to understand why I don’t want them back??

38. The Dictators
My dad’s best friend and his family stayed with us for 2 weeks during the summer. I was 9, and my sister was a newborn (literally 2 weeks old when they arrived). Already off to a bad start
The wife kept putting my sister onto her stomach while she slept when no one was looking. When my mum finally caught the wife doing it and told her to stop because of the risk of cot death, she replied, "I did it with all my kids, and they turned out fine." She continued doing it.
The wife would only cook sausages and mashed potatoes for dinner and get angry at my mum when she cooked something different.
She also heavily restricted anyone in the kitchen. I had to ask permission to get a cup of water or eat a biscuit from the pantry.
Dad's friend would tell us what activity we were allowed to do. For example, you must play in the backyard right now. Don't come inside unless you need the toilet. You must watch TV right now, I don't care if you're not interested in the movie; just shut up and watch

39. No Permission
I make all of my sandwiches for the week on Sunday night and put them in the refrigerator. I make my sandwiches to save the time and hassle of getting everything out every night and do the same thing all over again.
An acquaintance was over with a group of friends, and he went into the kitchen for a minute. He came back with one of my premade sandwiches.
It’s not necessarily about the food per se (he could have easily made his own sandwich if he wanted to). But what would possess someone to take a premade sandwich from their host's refrigerator without asking?
This became my own personal Seinfeld episode.

40. Bad Mouth
My grandma offered to make him a sandwich. A little while later, he asked where that sandwich was coming from, South Dakota. Guess he thought it was taking too long.
35 years later, I still think about that jerk sometimes and wonder wtf was he thinking? Just how could you say that to someone's grandmother you just met?
He was my cousin's dorky boyfriend's friend. I was about 13 years old and appalled. My grandmother was the sweetest woman and an amazing hostess.

41. The Odd Kiddo
We have a 9-year-old little girl from down the street who's friends with my daughter. She comes to our house at least every other day and mostly just shows up.
She has an opinion about EVERYTHING we do. My wife or I can not make a move without feeling judged or receiving some advice I would never expect from a 9-year-old.
It ranged from how messy our house is to how we spend our money. And she talks back as much as my own kids. It mostly makes us laugh. Mostly…

42. Cheese Freeloader
I had a guy stay with me for about a month from Florida because he met a girl online, and it turned into a big catfishing debacle.
We had mutual friends, and he was waiting for his parents to wire him money for a plane ticket back home. I didn't want the dummy to be out on the streets.
The entire time he stayed with me, 90% of his daily caloric intake was eating slices of American cheese out of the fridge. "Hey, I just cooked a big meal. You hungry?" "No thanks, I'm okay."
Goes to the fridge for cheese. Probably went through 2 dozen packs of cheese in that one month. Like, it's not a huge deal, but I'm tired of constantly buying cheese, you weird jerk.
The only positive was that when he went home, he left a $200+ pair of nice Oakleys at my house. Wore them for a few years. Payment for all the cheese.

43. Took It Literally
Picked up my sister and BIL from the airport and dropped them off at my house before taking my preschool kid to a doctor’s appointment.
I told them to make themselves at home, and we’ll be back in 2 hours. They have all the snacks in the entire house, including 10 brand-new boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
At least 2 months' worth of snacks. They laughed and said they “just couldn’t help themselves since they don’t have junk food in at home.” Worst part? Girl Scout cookie season had ended two days before.
All those delicious Thin Mints are gone.

44. Irritating People
My grandpa had driven over to our house for a few months to get away from his insane wife. In turn, he was fixing up our disgusting bathroom.
He was perfectly fine. But when it came time to fix some of the plumbing, he decided to play it safe and find someone to do it instead. Luckily, my mom found some guy next door who was willing to do it for free.
The first red flag should've been when he showed up around six hours after he agreed. It was around 8 at this point, but my grandpa was just grateful to get someone to help him who wasn't his ex-wife, my grandma, yelling at him for every perceived mistake.
But this man, acting wide awake and just a wee bit manic, stayed till FOUR AM. FOUR AM! This guy worked with my absolutely exhausted grandpa until the sun was coming up, only taking a tiny break to wolf down a sandwich my grandma had made, complaining the entire time.
The cherry on top? When he finally left, my mom told me, "Hey, I think that was your great uncle." You see, I've never met my biological father, but this man was apparently the SPITTING image of him.
They also were both Italian plumbers, and if I believe correctly, completely insane.

45. Trying To Fit In
When I was a teenager, my mom's friend stopped by to visit with a young boy (older than me by a few years) and spent the weekend.
Home life wasn't so great for him; my mom said he could stay the week.
He lived with us for three months, basically acting like he always lived there, and introduced himself as my older brother to people.
I was really happy when he finally left because he was just weird. It's not scary weird. I never felt unsafe. But he was a stranger who just inserted himself into our home.
