34 Stories About The Worst Things Guests Did, Told By Users Of This Online Community
When people have guests over, they want to be welcoming and make them feel comfortable. A typical phrase said at such occasions is “Make yourselves comfortable.” Even if a host says that, a guest comes to someone’s home and tries to be considerate and treat the home better than they would their own.
There are people who may take the phrase too literally and feel like they are the masters of the house and the hosts are their servants. While experiencing such situations is truly unpleasant, reading them is quite amusing as people come up with all sorts of things and are oblivious to doing something wrong.
Redditors shared their stories in a thread when Mr_Yus_uwu asked “What was the worst thing your guest did when they took "Make yourself at home" very literally?” We would like to hear what you think of these stories, so upvote the ones you found most baffling. And please do share your own in the comments.

Had an aunt come stay with us for a short amount of time when I was about 8, my parents let her stay in my bedroom. She decided on day two that she wanted to “help me decorate” and basically turned my bedroom into her own room. She took me shopping, and denied every single thing I picked out, but whatever, I could change it when she was gone. A couple days later, I came home from school and all my stuffed animals were gone. I used to empty the claw machine at this one restaurant/bar my parents went to on a regular basis, so there was probably close to a hundred stuffed animals in my collection. When she told me she’d thrown them out, I lost it. I went off on her, telling her to get the f**k out of my house, crying hysterically.
My dad made his only sister go find a hotel for the last bit of her vacation, and 18 years later, I haven’t seen her since.

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.

My relative stayed with my grandma and proceeded to burn the house to the ground by deciding to have a bon fire 3 feet from the side of the house.

I had guests turn the pool heater on in February and not turn it off or tell me it was on. I noticed steam coming off the pool a week later and it was 90*F. The bill was just under $1000.

An in-law took about a 28 minute shower after I explained we were in the middle of a drought and that our well was dangerously low. I’m assuming it was going to be a 30 minute shower but we ran out of water.
#6
Dinner guest asked to stay overnight because of the snow (which wasn’t forecasted until much later that night). Spouse and I agreed as we didn’t have work the next day. But guest did - and at 7:30 in the morning he was freaking out because we hadn’t shoveled the driveway for him yet. “How am I supposed to get to work on time?!”

My wife 3 days ago.
Tasked with feeding her friends cat while they're away for a week.
They said help yourself to whatever you like.
She came home with their waffle maker.
Pretty sure it meant she could score a couple of their Tim tams not make off with their appliances
#8
I let my sister stay at my house after her breakup. She told my 5 year old to clean up his "f**king bath toys". They were in HIS bathroom that we let her use as well.
That's not even the half of it I don't speak to her anymore

My grandma offered to make him a sandwich. A little while later he said, where is that sandwich coming from, South Dakota? Guess he thought it was taking too long. 35 years later i still think about that a**hole 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 yo and appalled. My grandmother was the sweetest woman and an amazing hostess.

My ex husband had a less than savory friend. He walked into my home once, helped himself to my fridge without asking and then when he got himself some silverware, had the audacity to insult it and say it looked like something a grandmother would have. Well yes, 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, say down, 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.
He was a grade A a**hole. F**king hate you, Craig.

I had a longtime friend who was just sort of chaotic and oblivious as a teen, super messy bedroom, yadda yadda pretty normal for a teenager. But as we all got older she never seemed to grow out of any of it. So by the time we are in our late 20s, I started to dread getting together with her because just getting together for dinner or drinks on Friday meant essentially committing to her staying the entire weekend. The final straw came one Monday when I had to get up to go to work (I was also a full time student) and she was still hanging out. I told her goodbye and made it clear I wasn't coming back because I had plans after work. When I finally got home that evening, the house was in shambles. She'd managed to tear down the shower curtain, just leaving it hanging. She had apparently worn a pair of my favorite slippers, fluffy pink pigs, and managed to rip the tail off one, which she just left lying there on the floor. Dirty dishes, of course.
This was the same woman who managed to catch my favorite sweater (hand knit by a former BF's mother) ON FIRE at a bonfire. Burning a giant hole (hand sized) and leaving it covered in scorch marks. She actually tried to hide it by I think putting it back folded.
The final straw came at an event for her parents where I was helping out and she literally snapped her fingers at me and told me to "get back to work" when I was having a smoke in the backyard with some other friends. I just never spoke to her again.

My brother's best friend came to live with us for "a few months" because he wanted to move back to our state. My parents agreed because he was supposed to go to college and they believe college education is important. Well 8 years later and he is still there, all my parent's children have moved out but for some reason my brother's best friend is still living there.

A friend brought a friend to my house. She and I were preparing food for us to have a meal and he wandered into the kitchen and said "Your computer has a password on it - I can't get on there."

My ex-BIL plopped himself and a plate of bbq ribs on my nice, cream-colored sofa, and he proceeded to chow down. He used the sofa as a napkin, spilled the meat on the sofa, and I kid you not, I actually had bbq sauce on the ceiling above where he was sitting. HOW do you get that stuff up there?
Here I am, two decades later, and I still have not figured that one out.

He got extremely drunk, told us "Stop me when I start making comments about the Jews," and proceeded to fall all the way down the racism tree hitting every major branch on the way.

Had a friend stay until he found a job and got on his feet. He never applied anywhere, or tried to leave our couch at all. Another friend offered him an interview and he purposely blew it because he didn’t like that job. He was mean to my puppy and sat in our house all day while we worked and never offered to take her out or anything. The worst though is when he started blaring the tv at 5am. I mean literally almost as loud as the tv would go. And he was always f**king watching Scrubs. He left around a month and a half later after he ran out of money from ordering food for every meal and not leaving our house. He then made a post on Facebook about how the city defeated him and it didn’t work out lol

I got my guest settled on the couch for the night, and I woke up to them right next to me, and sound asleep in my bed.

Picked up sister and BIL from airport and dropped them off at my house before taking my preschool kid to a doctor’s appointment. Told them to make themselves at home, we’ll be back in 2 hours. They at 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, gone.

The $900 phone sex bill. It was the early 90's and the bill came on paper and was about 100 pages.
I let a guy stay in my house for a month while he was in summer school and I was going to be gone half the summer. He would call while black out drunk. Other than this, he was an excellent houseguest. He even told me that they were going to be these phone bills coming and that he would pay for it but we had no idea that it was going to be almost $1,000
The reason the bill was 100 pages was because each of the 1-900 numbers operated as individual little telephone companies that generated a separate bill for their services, so that $900 bill was about 50 separate bills printed individually that were bundled together by my local provider.
If I didn't pay that bill somehow they were never going to let me have a telephone again. I was able to call some of the customer service departments and get some of the bills cancelled or reduced. My house guest coughed up $500 and gave me a CD player and a PlayStation and a TV

I'm so glad they don't have those 976 sex lines anymore. My then-in-laws took in my then-husband's friend because we didn't have room for him and his girlfriend threw him out. They were really nice people and knew him since he was a kid. He ran up their phone bill and they kicked him out. Not sure if he ever paid them back.

Closed my bedroom door with me inside it as if to say "you'll go to bed now". I don't know why, but this triggered me.

Had someone my Mom knew from work stay with us for a while when they were having a divorce. They were all around kinda scummy but the thing that really set us off was that we caught him and his new girlfriend feeding random crap to our dog. When I caught them they were tossing him chicken bones from KFC which can be really dangerous for dogs.

My father in law was staying with us for a month, he lived in Oman. The spare room was an office with a sofa bed in so it could double up for guests. He bought a double bed and got rid of the sofa bed. I lost my office.

I’ve had relatives eat all the food in our fridge, use our house to play host to people they know in our city. They also broke our screen door and had no remorse whatsoever. It was presented as “oh your screen door is broken!”

Had a buddy stay with me and my then GF now wife, lived on the top floor of a poorly insulated apartment. We never set the air below 75 in the summer (kept it at 70 when we first moved in and got a $300 bill) we came back from being out of town for a few days he has some chick naked on the couch (my wife hated this girl and he knew it) and the air was set to 65. He didn't live there much longer.

I came home from work that day and my homie was there. With his girl and 4 kids for weeks in my 1000 sw foot house. Ate all my food and wouldn't leave me alone until I drove them 10 hours away to some family's house

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, ranging 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.
#32
My sister stayed with our brother and dad a few years ago while bumming around (her husband passed away and she doesn't have to work, so she travels pretty much year round). While there, without anyone's permission and at no one's request, she completely dismantled and reorganized their walk in pantry, threw all of their food because it was "too processed" and "not healthy enough" (it was basic stuff too... pasta, sauces, frozen pierogies, potatoes, canned goods, snacks, etc.) and bought new. After her trip to the grocery store, she had the audacity to try and charge them for the food she bought. It wasn't even stuff they particularly liked, which cracked me up. They laughed in her face and she sulked for like a week.
Then she invited her teenage son to stay with them because he got kicked out of camp? school? something like that for vaping, and she was "too mortified" to let him back home so early. At the time, my brother lived 2 states away, lol. After that, she overstayed her welcome by about 3 weeks. Needless to say, she's a hot f**king mess.

When I lived in Africa my husband and I met this guy who was kind of wandering his way around Africa. We got to know him a bit and he seemed ok. We had a TV which wasn't so common, so he asked if one day while we were at work, if we would let him use our room (we rented a room in a shared house) to watch a bit of TV. So we gave him the key. When we got home, everything *looked* okay, until I noticed USED condoms on the bedside table. He had brought a young, vulnerable girl back to our room, had sex in our bed on our sheets, remade the bed and thought he had got away with it. I called him and asked him over. Didn't say why. Then absolutely went off on him. We had no washing machine, so I required him to wash all our bedding by hand outside under the garden spigot. It took him probably three hours before I was satisfied. I told him if I found out that he was deflowering vulnerable local girls again, I would send people after him. He left town after that. Piece of crud.

My best friend's partner found out he had an adult son through a DNA site. He moved in with them for a few months until he got on his feet. He got a job and they assumed he would save for a place. The son was Muslim and spent the whole time trying to convert them, ordering my friend around because she was, "just a woman." They found out he had an Internet girlfriend in another country and he was sending her money to her so she could move here. He planned for both of them to live in my friend's house and "have lots of babies." She wasn't Muslim but he was trying to convert her too. When his father said they can't live there, only him, he got mad and moved out. He blamed everything on my friend because, "she didn't know her place!"

A friend of my husband (ex coworker). They didn't see each other for about a year.. Once , Saturday night he left 3 message in his voicemail because my husband's phone was off. The phone was off because he was actually sleeping at my house. First message " I had a blind date this evening.. she dumped me I'm 60 km to my house and I'm drunk..I don't want to sleep in my car can I come to your house? Second message " I know you didn't answer but I'm coming to your house" Third message " you don't answer at the ring bell..I'm ringing at your parents house" My husband discovered everything the next morning turning on the cellphone.. my husband (at the time boyfriend) was 20 and living with parents.. his friend almost gave an heart attack to his parents ringing at doorbell at 4 am.. they let him sleep on the couch and made him some tea.. and my MIL called the friend's mother in the morning to assure he was OK..

On three days notice, in-laws showed up with two adults, three teenage boys, and a toddler to stay for a month. Loud, messy, and just THERE, interrupting our lives, until FIL shot a hole in our floor while cleaning his gun and Hubby finally kicked them out. Still not the worst houseguests I've had.

Things random houguests have done... stayed on couch for 6 months, spit on dining room floor while blackout drunk, called cops to say they were kidnapped and locked up (obviously not since they weren't home when cops showed up), broke glasses and plates and hid them in their room (didnt throw away), puked all over bathroom walls and toilet and the shaved entire body in shower night before moving out, burned out my projector after I told them not to use it, sold drugs and had parties, etc. We stood up to each one but most we had little to no contact with afterwards.

I remember at school a girl in my class was asked to go home early as her uncle was staying called and said could she come home as her mother had fallen and badly injured her self. The school secretary drove her home and they expected to see an ambulance there to help her mother but were greeted only by her uncle. Her mother had already left for work as had her dad. When asked why then did he call the school and ask for to come home after her mother had an accident he replied "well I'm hungry and want my breakfast and I thought it would be the only way for you to be let out of school to come home and be able to make it for me." Apparently this uncle would just turn up out of the blue, take root to a certain chair in the living room and then wait to be waited on hand and foot. He was made very unwelcome after that last stunt though.

We had a friend (not really but whatever) show up at our house all the time while we were at night school. Lived with the in laws. They just let him into our bedroom and he was still there 3 hours later when we would come home. Sometimes he'd be laying on our bed. We had a couch so he had no reason to. This bothers me because that same "friend" had his mother confront my MIL at a store (6 months after I'd married) about how I "should be with him" (her son) and how my in laws were "forcing" me to stay with my husband. He'd told his mother we were in love. Just. No. He still introduces me as his "almost wife" when I meet his gfs. I try not to run into him because of this. He's touchy and creepy and also a giant. He's probably 6'2 and weighs at least 250. Weirdest part? I barely knew him before I met my husband. He was just some weirdo that tried to hang out with him. There were more problems but not enough space here for all the crazy.

My husband and I had out of state job, and we let his brother and family live in our fully furnished home with reduced rent in exchange for them taking care of our home and farm animals while we were out of state working. It would allow them to save money and we would have someone we trusted staying at the house. The reduced rent was apparently too much as they paid once in a year. They ran up hundreds in pay per view charges on cable, they took a vacation and brought in friends of theirs to stay at the house and care for our pets without discussing with us. Needless to say, multiple animals were killed from coyotes because they left the gate open because it was a " pain" to open and close it. BIL advised us they didn't have to clear anything with us and didn't need our permission to let people stay at the house. Their kids kicked several holes in the drywall and when they moved out they left tons of garbage in the yard and house. left

When I was just out of college and in my first 1 bedroom apt. my 18 year old cousin ran off and got married to some guy she met online. Everyone in the family was surprised (but not really) and they were making plans about what they wanted to do. During a conversation with my aunt it sounded like they had decided to move in with me. This had been their plan for over a week and no one had even asked me. They were due to arrive in just a few days. I confronted my stupid cousin and made it clear that I would not be hosting her and this stranger she married. Suddenly aunt and cousin were scrambling to find them an apartment of their own. I dodged a bullet there - weeks later I watched from a coffee shop as they pushed a full grocery cart to their apartment from the nearest grocery store about a mile away. That was 10 years ago, I think she’s on husband #3 now.

* The friend/neighbour who claimed to be seriously ill: burnt cigarette holes in my blankets, stole small items, stole painkillers, was wearing my clothing (inc underwear) and hiding it when dirty, AND wasn't actually ill- just a con woman. *Then boyfriend's adult nephew: ate spent all his money on sex workers and weed, ate 2 weeks worth of shopping in a day, couldn't afford to replace the food (see SW & weed) so tried to steal groceries and got caught by the police, he was already on probation (which i didn't know) so went to gaol. Also was stealing my underwear? *Younger relative: drug taking in my house, burnt holes in blankets with cigarettes (seriously? I'm cool with smokers just go outside), stole my mother's engagement ring, broke a door in an argument when she left. Founds food, ants, and rodents in the room after she was gone. Also kept breaking in later to steal household items and food for her and her junkie boyfriend. NEVER AGAIN!!!

During my mid twenties a friend would frequently stay at my girlfriend (now wife) and I's house, helping himself to the fridge, computer, tv and anything else he felt like. I got up to go to work one morning at 4am to find that he had been up all night on the computer, not outside the norm. Took my usual pre-work shower, reached out with a face full of water, eyes closed, grabbing the neatly folded towel that I had laid out on the counter there the night before. Unfolded it blind and brought it to my face only to be met with a god awful stench, opened my eyes to find a towel full of s**t an inch from my face. Dude had used my only clean towel to wipe his ass, filling it with more feces than should be humanly possible. Instead of throwing the damn thing out he took the time to refold it and put it back where he found it. He denied the wiping incident initially but admitted to it several months later. No longer friends!!

Dated a guy VERY briefly. This is one of many creepy things he did in two-weeks time. We were watching a movie, and he stood up, took off his socks, shorts, and underwear, and sat back down with only his t-shirt on. My friend and I still refer to it as "balls on the couch" 10 years later. Who does that?

Had to kick a houseguest out. It required calling the sheriff's office to have her removed. I offered this person a place to stay while she got back on her feet after getting fired and evicted. I now have a clear idea why those things happened. She kept acting in an unsafe manner, had no respect for property our boundaries and assumed she could treat my place like it was hers. She also refused to look for work until she felt she was ready to do so, but after several weeks with of not, she blew up at being reminded that was why she was there at all.

Things random houguests have done... stayed on couch for 6 months, spit on dining room floor while blackout drunk, called cops to say they were kidnapped and locked up (obviously not since they weren't home when cops showed up), broke glasses and plates and hid them in their room (didnt throw away), puked all over bathroom walls and toilet and the shaved entire body in shower night before moving out, burned out my projector after I told them not to use it, sold drugs and had parties, etc. We stood up to each one but most we had little to no contact with afterwards.

I remember at school a girl in my class was asked to go home early as her uncle was staying called and said could she come home as her mother had fallen and badly injured her self. The school secretary drove her home and they expected to see an ambulance there to help her mother but were greeted only by her uncle. Her mother had already left for work as had her dad. When asked why then did he call the school and ask for to come home after her mother had an accident he replied "well I'm hungry and want my breakfast and I thought it would be the only way for you to be let out of school to come home and be able to make it for me." Apparently this uncle would just turn up out of the blue, take root to a certain chair in the living room and then wait to be waited on hand and foot. He was made very unwelcome after that last stunt though.

I really hope that school secretary didn't leave the student alone with him.

I had a roommate once in 1989 for about 3 hours. I came home from work to find he and his buddy had eaten all my food that was supposed to last until the next payday. I've lived alone ever since.

We had a friend (not really but whatever) show up at our house all the time while we were at night school. Lived with the in laws. They just let him into our bedroom and he was still there 3 hours later when we would come home. Sometimes he'd be laying on our bed. We had a couch so he had no reason to. This bothers me because that same "friend" had his mother confront my MIL at a store (6 months after I'd married) about how I "should be with him" (her son) and how my in laws were "forcing" me to stay with my husband. He'd told his mother we were in love. Just. No. He still introduces me as his "almost wife" when I meet his gfs. I try not to run into him because of this. He's touchy and creepy and also a giant. He's probably 6'2 and weighs at least 250. Weirdest part? I barely knew him before I met my husband. He was just some weirdo that tried to hang out with him. There were more problems but not enough space here for all the crazy.

For comparison: I'm barely 5'3 and at the time I weighed about 100lbs.

My husband and I had out of state job, and we let his brother and family live in our fully furnished home with reduced rent in exchange for them taking care of our home and farm animals while we were out of state working. It would allow them to save money and we would have someone we trusted staying at the house. The reduced rent was apparently too much as they paid once in a year. They ran up hundreds in pay per view charges on cable, they took a vacation and brought in friends of theirs to stay at the house and care for our pets without discussing with us. Needless to say, multiple animals were killed from coyotes because they left the gate open because it was a " pain" to open and close it. BIL advised us they didn't have to clear anything with us and didn't need our permission to let people stay at the house. Their kids kicked several holes in the drywall and when they moved out they left tons of garbage in the yard and house. left

I'm consistently flabbergasted by how selfish, inconsiderate, and often downright cruel people can be. If I had any survival skills at all I'd move to the middle of nowhere and live off grid just to avoid the rest of humanity.

When I was just out of college and in my first 1 bedroom apt. my 18 year old cousin ran off and got married to some guy she met online. Everyone in the family was surprised (but not really) and they were making plans about what they wanted to do. During a conversation with my aunt it sounded like they had decided to move in with me. This had been their plan for over a week and no one had even asked me. They were due to arrive in just a few days. I confronted my stupid cousin and made it clear that I would not be hosting her and this stranger she married. Suddenly aunt and cousin were scrambling to find them an apartment of their own. I dodged a bullet there - weeks later I watched from a coffee shop as they pushed a full grocery cart to their apartment from the nearest grocery store about a mile away. That was 10 years ago, I think she’s on husband #3 now.

* The friend/neighbour who claimed to be seriously ill: burnt cigarette holes in my blankets, stole small items, stole painkillers, was wearing my clothing (inc underwear) and hiding it when dirty, AND wasn't actually ill- just a con woman. *Then boyfriend's adult nephew: ate spent all his money on sex workers and weed, ate 2 weeks worth of shopping in a day, couldn't afford to replace the food (see SW & weed) so tried to steal groceries and got caught by the police, he was already on probation (which i didn't know) so went to gaol. Also was stealing my underwear? *Younger relative: drug taking in my house, burnt holes in blankets with cigarettes (seriously? I'm cool with smokers just go outside), stole my mother's engagement ring, broke a door in an argument when she left. Founds food, ants, and rodents in the room after she was gone. Also kept breaking in later to steal household items and food for her and her junkie boyfriend. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Everyone that ever stayed at my house had kids, which was the only reason we let them stay in the first place, and used me as a free babysitter for those kids. Including when I had my own young kids to take care of. No one stays at my house anymore problem solved.

During my mid twenties a friend would frequently stay at my girlfriend (now wife) and I's house, helping himself to the fridge, computer, tv and anything else he felt like. I got up to go to work one morning at 4am to find that he had been up all night on the computer, not outside the norm. Took my usual pre-work shower, reached out with a face full of water, eyes closed, grabbing the neatly folded towel that I had laid out on the counter there the night before. Unfolded it blind and brought it to my face only to be met with a god awful stench, opened my eyes to find a towel full of s**t an inch from my face. Dude had used my only clean towel to wipe his ass, filling it with more feces than should be humanly possible. Instead of throwing the damn thing out he took the time to refold it and put it back where he found it. He denied the wiping incident initially but admitted to it several months later. No longer friends!!

You win (well, sort of). This is, hands down, the absolute worst thing on this post. It makes me gag back vomit just reading about it. I'm so, so sorry you had to deal with it. WT actual F is wrong with people?

Husband's "old friend" got kicked out of his 'Sober House' for breaking cardinal rule-after 2 days noticed bottles of wine and other liquor had mysteriously vanished. Day 3 had him passed out drunk on our couch - called 9-1-1 to have him taken to hospital for alcohol poisoning - over next few months found empty bottles of our alcohol all around the edges of our property...

Dated a guy VERY briefly. This is one of many creepy things he did in two-weeks time. We were watching a movie, and he stood up, took off his socks, shorts, and underwear, and sat back down with only his t-shirt on. My friend and I still refer to it as "balls on the couch" 10 years later. Who does that?

I suppose it is sobering to know that other people's relloos can be R-souls too.' I really think humans are a nasty species :-(

Friends have chided me for being a slob for years mainly because my home is basically a "hovel" or in my own words, my dog house. Now it isn't filthy, just chaotic messy. There is a reason for this. I don't like guests. I can bring food, drinks, hell even an expensive bottle if we gather at someone's place. Just don't come to mine.

Had to kick a houseguest out. It required calling the sheriff's office to have her removed. I offered this person a place to stay while she got back on her feet after getting fired and evicted. I now have a clear idea why those things happened. She kept acting in an unsafe manner, had no respect for property our boundaries and assumed she could treat my place like it was hers. She also refused to look for work until she felt she was ready to do so, but after several weeks with of not, she blew up at being reminded that was why she was there at all.
