28 stories about guests who amazed their hosts with their impudent behavior (29 photos)

The ancient laws of hospitality stated that the owners of the house must in every possible way protect guests from any injury, accidental or intentional, and harming a guest was considered a terrible crime. And it seems that the guests from this selection decided to take full advantage of this ancient custom.





1. “One of my relatives stopped to stay with my grandmother and burned her house to the ground, building a fire a meter from the wall.”



2. “An old friend of my husband stayed with us for two weeks while we lived in Japan. He was extremely smug and extremely annoying; within just a few days he became an instant "expert" on Japan, even though we had already lived there for two years. Finally, on Friday he left. My husband and I had different plans for Saturday. I returned in the afternoon to an unlocked door and the sound of the TV. I decided that my husband had returned early. Nope. It was Old Pal - thinking we were away for the weekend, he broke into our apartment to stay two more nights. “You weren’t supposed to be here!” “he protested and refused to leave until my husband returned home and personally told Old Buddy that he was staying away.”





3. “In February, I had guests who turned on the pool heater but did not turn it off or tell me it was on. A week later I noticed steam coming from the pool and the temperature was 32 degrees. The bill came just huge.”



4. “When I was 8, my aunt came to stay with us for a short time, and my parents allowed her to stay in my room. On the second day she decided to “help me decorate” it and basically turned my room into her personal bedroom. She took me shopping and no matter what I pointed at, she refused to buy it; but who cares, I'll just change everything when she leaves. A couple of days later I came home from school and all my stuffed animals were gone. I used to raid the toy arcade at a bar/restaurant my parents frequented, so I had about a hundred toys in my collection. When she told me she threw them away, I lost my temper. I yelled at her and told her to get out of my house, crying hysterically. Dad kicked his only sister out to a hotel for the rest of her vacation, and since then, in 18 years, I have never seen her again.”



5. “The relative showered for about 28 minutes after I explained that we were in the middle of a drought and that our well was almost empty. Apparently it was supposed to be a 30-minute shower, but we ran out of water.”



6. “After dinner, the guest asked to stay the night because of snowfall (which was promised much later). My husband and I agreed since we didn't have to go to work the next day. But the guest had to - and at 7:30 in the morning he got mad because we didn't clear the driveway for him. “How am I supposed to get to work on time now?!”



7. “Three days ago my wife was such a guest. Her friends were away for a week and assigned her to feed their cat. They told her not to deny herself anything. She returned home with their waffle iron. I think they meant that she could help herself to their cookies, not steal their appliances."



8. “My ex-husband had a disgustingly unpleasant friend. One day he came to my house, went into my refrigerator without asking, and then, when he took some cutlery from the silverware set, he had the audacity to insult him and say that it looked like “grandma’s.” Well, yes, it is, because it was my grandmother's set, and she gave it to me. Another time he came to my mother-in-law's house when we told him we didn't want to hang out today. We haven't even gotten home yet! He came, sat down, ordered pizza, which he refused to share with my mother-in-law and my husband's brother, and just sat and watched TV for two hours until we returned. He was a first-rate asshole."



9. “My grandmother offered to make a sandwich for the guest. A little later he asked, “Where is this sandwich coming from, South Dakota?” 35 years later I still think about that asshole sometimes and can't figure out what he was thinking. How can you say that to someone's grandmother you just met? He was a friend of my cousin's stupid boyfriend. I was about 13 years old and I was terrified of it. My grandmother was the sweetest woman and a wonderful housewife.”



10. “I let my sister stay with me after she broke up with her boyfriend. She told my 5 year old son to put away his “fucking bath toys.” They were in HIS bathroom, which we allowed her to use. And that’s not even the half of why I don’t talk to her anymore.”



11. “My brother’s best friend stayed with us “for a couple of months” because he wanted to move back to our area. My parents agreed because he had to go to university, and they think that getting a higher education is very important. In general, 8 years have passed, and he still lives with them. All the kids have moved out, but for some reason my brother's best friend still lives at our parents' house."



12. “He got very drunk and told us: “Stop me when I start talking about Jews,” after which he began to fall from the entire height of the tree of racism, hitting every major branch in his path. That was the last New Year's party I served beer at, I can tell you that."



13. “A friend brought a friend to my house. While she and I were preparing dinner, he wandered into the kitchen and said: “There’s a password on your computer, I can’t log in.”



14. “A guest decorated my house with religious artifacts. I'm an atheist".



15. “I come home and he’s sitting on the kitchen counter in his underpants, cutting his toenails over the sink.”



16. “I let a friend stay with me so he could find a job and get back on his feet. He never moved anywhere and never left the sofa. Another friend offered him an interview and he purposely failed it because he didn't like the job. He mistreated my puppy and stayed in the house all day while we worked and never once offered to walk him or anything. The worst thing was when he started watching TV at 5 am at full volume. That is, literally at full volume. And he always watched fucking Scrubs. He moved out about a month and a half after he ran out of money because he ordered food for every meal and didn't leave the house. Then he wrote a post on Facebook about how this city beat him and it didn't work out for him lol."



17. “I let a guest sleep on the couch and woke up to find him fast asleep next to me in my bed.”



18. “He closed my bedroom door with me inside, as if to say, “Go to bed.” I don’t know why, but it triggered me.”



19. “My father-in-law stayed with us for a month; he himself lived in Oman. Our spare room was used as an office and there was a pull-out sofa for guests. He bought a double bed and got rid of the sofa bed. So I lost my office.”



20. “The relatives ate all the food in the refrigerator and received their own guests, acquaintances from our city, in our house. They also broke the mosquito door and did not regret it at all. They presented it as: “Oh, your mosquito door is broken!”



21. “I come home from work, and my friend is there. Together with his girlfriend and four children, he lived in my house of 93 square meters. m. for several weeks. They ate all my food and pestered me until I took them to some family 10 hours away."



22. “A few years ago, my sister came to stay with our brother and father while she was idle (her husband died and she doesn’t have to work, so she travels all year round). While she was living with them, she completely cleared out their pantry without asking and threw out all their food because it was “too processed” and “not healthy enough” (these were regular foods... pasta, sauces, frozen dumplings, potatoes, canned food, snacks etc.), and bought a new one. After going to the grocery store, she had the audacity to demand payment from them for the food they bought. What pleased me most was that they didn't even like all these new products. They laughed in her face and she sulked for another week. Then she invited her teenage son to stay with them, too, because he had been kicked out of either camp or school for vaping, and she was “too upset” to let him come home so early. After that, she stayed with them for another three weeks.”



23. “He literally took off his socks and put them on the dining room table. Dude... How is this even?”



24. “My sister’s friend carved her name on the wall and porch of our house.”



25. “One of my mother’s acquaintances from work lived with us for some time while he was getting divorced. He seemed like a creep in general, but we were especially infuriated by the fact that he and his new girlfriend were feeding our dog all sorts of crap. When I caught them, they were throwing him KFC chicken bones, which can be very dangerous for dogs."



26. “There lives a 9-year-old girl on our street who is friends with our daughter. She comes to see us at least every other day and mostly without warning. She has an opinion on EVERYTHING we do. My wife and I can’t take a step without her condemnation or advice that I never expected to hear from a 9-year-old child; from how dirty our home is to how we spend our money. And she is no less insolent to us than our own children. Mostly it makes us laugh. Mostly".



27. “The guest asked to use the computer to check her email and deleted all my passwords.”



28. “A guest placed a lit cigarette on a decorative wooden box that I gave to my partner for his birthday. The morning after the guest’s visit, my partner discovered a burnt cigarette with a melted filter on the box.”
