26 House Guests Who Will Never, Ever, Ever, Ever, Ever, Under Any Circumstances, EVER Be Invited Back
Hosting guests can be a delightful experience, filled with laughter, shared meals, and cherished memories. However, sometimes, the hospitality extended to friends and family can turn into a nightmare. Recently, a Reddit thread by u/Jentenny99 asked people to reveal the weirdest thing a guest has ever done in their home, and the responses were both shocking and hilarious. Here are 26 stories that prove some guests are better left as distant memories.
-
Religious Judgment: A couple, once very religious friends, dropped by unexpectedly. The wife wandered into the dining area and began reading a letter from a high school friend who had recently married (she's a lesbian). Upon seeing the wedding pictures, she began screaming, mocking the couple, and even asked, "So, which one is the man?" The host was furious and pointed to the door.
-
Mother-in-Law Mayhem: A mother-in-law lived with the couple after losing her job and selling her house. She repotted all the plants, cut up good laundry towels for rags, and used the host's measuring cups to mix her glue for art. She also complained about the cleanliness of the house despite the host working full-time and taking night classes.
-
Uninvited Activities: A friend going through a divorce stayed rent-free at the couple's house. One morning, the host walked into the living room to find the friend getting a blowjob. The couple provided a free room, but apparently, it was too much trouble to use it.
-
Fridge Raiders: A friend visiting the couple disappeared during a movie. When found, he was removing food from the fridge and putting it into his bag, claiming, "I was there when you bought it."
-
Sink Surprise: A guest at a house party had too many drinks and decided to relieve herself in the kitchen sink. The host was mortified.
-
Buffet Blunders: A wedding shower host set up a beautiful buffet, but the future aunt of the bride ate a chocolate-covered strawberry and put the stem on the buffet. She then tasted a dip and put the spoon back in it. The host was furious and removed the dip.
-
Party Pooper: A friend got too comfortable at the couple's apartment, throwing a party for his friends without their permission, puking on the wood floors, and cleaning it up with old newspaper.

Pillow Humper: A friend with a drinking problem stayed at the host's place. When he left, he apologized for not washing the bedding. Upon inspection, the host found the pillows had been used inappropriately. The friendship ended.

Phone Hog: A relative of the host's foster mother would tie up the phone for hours, even letting herself in if no one was home, and no one could do anything until she finished her call.
-
Inappropriate Attire: A couple visited the host's home, and the wife traveled back and forth from their guest room to the bath next to the host's son's room in a bra and underwear. Not appropriate!
-
Jewelry Thief: A friend from high school went through the host's drawers and set aside pieces she wanted. When confronted, she assured the host they shared everything. The friendship ended.
-
Deceased Daughter's Belongings: A partner's daughter stayed with the couple and went through the belongings of the host's deceased daughter, even asking for a Gucci handbag. No apology was given.
-
Drunken Drug Fest: Family members brought their dog and lots of drugs for Thanksgiving. The entire five days were a drunken drug fest, with the dog laying all over the furniture and chasing the host's pets. Never again!
-
Family Freeloaders: A sister and her family stayed with the couple, hiding their food, eating all the host's food, and ignoring the rules. They were eventually kicked out, but not before the brother-in-law urinated all over the bathroom.
-
Meat Thief: A friend of the ex-husband stayed with the couple and took a cooler of meat from the freezer for her sister facing hard times. They could have stayed with her but chose the host's place because it was "nicer."

Air Mattress Poppers: A houseguest decided to help herself to the host's food, left the front door unlocked, and popped the host's air mattress with a strange guy before 6:00 a.m. on a Saturday.
-
Dog Breeder: A brother-in-law and his family rented the basement, but their dog got pregnant, and they didn't help with the puppies. The host paid for all the food and vet bills and found homes for the puppies. They also smoked weed inside and vomited all over the floor.
-
Porn Orderer: A one-night stand ordered hundreds of dollars worth of porn on the host's cable TV account. Comcast refunded the charges, but the memory remains.
-
Wine Hoarders: A cousin and his wife stayed with the couple, drinking continually and finishing off the host's wine. They also refused to share and insisted on buying cheap wine to take home.

Overstayers: A wife's sister stayed with the couple, overstaying her welcome and bringing her son and his girlfriend. They never contributed to any food and eventually exploded when the host politely mentioned the shorter visit was better.
-
Wedding Wreckers: A colleague had a "very tiny" wedding at the host's house, but over 100 people showed up. The house was left in ruins, with patio furniture in the pool, no toilet paper, ruined bath towels, and a backed-up septic system.

Furniture Rearranger: A grandma would rearrange the living room furniture every time the host went on holiday. It became a running joke, but still annoying.
-
Dog-Dragging Guests: A live-in boyfriend invited his friend and his family of four (plus two dogs) to stay at the host's two-bedroom apartment. The dogs dragged their butts all over the carpet, and the friend's fiancée relentlessly mentioned her graduate degree. The host ended the relationship with the boyfriend.
