“A work friend invited me to his house to watch a hockey game.

I brought a six-pack of beers, and he was stoked and put them in his fridge.

He proceeded to pour himself Scotch but never asked me if I wanted to have a drink.

Laundry basket filled with various clothes and towels, placed against a plain background

I left after the game, and it’s been really awkward at work since.”

“The cat was on the counter chewing on the ham.

A Golden Retriever licks an empty white plate while lying on a tiled floor indoors

It was then served to us: chew marks, hair, and all.

Then we got lectured for not appreciating our hairy, saliva-soaked food.”

I agreed to help clean up, but they acted like I was now a free housekeeper."

My husband insisted we stop by for a visit to see his old friend.

He also had no furniture inside his house and had a brand new shiny grand piano in the kitchen.

A blue and yellow macaw is perched on a wooden stick against a plain background

He had these small scars all over his body.

It was the strangest experience we’ve ever had at someone’s house."

A faded area on a beige carpet near a window, with light-colored curtains partially covering the window

“After we ate dinner at someone’s house, they put the plates on the floor.

The dog came over and licked them clean.

They then picked up the plates and put them STRAIGHT IN THE CUPBOARD!

A pink bowl filled with freshly popped popcorn

He was slovenly to a degree I’d have never known had I not visited his apartment.

He was not a hoarder, mind you; the guy just didn’t really clean.

Sink filled with unwashed dishes, various bowls, and utensils

I had to get rabies shots.”

“I visited my aunt in a different state when I was 11.

In the room I slept in, there was a light-up Jesus painting.

I’m not lying when I tell you I went to therapy for that little gem.”

I had never seen anything like it.

I got out of there quickly."

Right before dinner, her mother asked me what religion I was.

She set me up at a card table about three feet from the dining table.

They talked to me, but I couldn’t eat at the same table.

I never went back."

12.

A screen over the door kept them inside.

There was bird crap everywhere, all over the floors, walls, and shelves.

The stench was unbearable.

I went home and scrubbed myself raw."

“I decided to join an old college buddy for game night at his new place.

His living room was transformed into an indoor arena, with furniture pushed to the walls.

It was like living in a medieval war zone.

I politely declined due to my concern for my physical well-being and lack of combat training.

Instead, I spent the evening dodging wayward sword thrusts and airborne goblets.

I never went back.”

u/RoseMichaela1

14.

They didn’t want to tell the landlord about it because they figured it was their fault.

They were just going to live with it until their lease was up."

“I was invited to a friend’s house for dinner once.

Everything seemed normal at first, but as the night went on, things got…weird.

First, their cat kept trying to eat my food off my plate.

Then, their mom started talking about conspiracy theories involving aliens and government mind control.

And to top it all off, their dad kept making reallyinappropriate jokesthat made everyone uncomfortable.

By the end of the night, I was ready to make a run for it.

I politely excused myself and vowed never to return.”

“He expected me to help him do dishes, though I didn’t eat or drink anything.

I loved the guy, but that was the only time I went to his house.”

His entire apartment was filled with aquariums of fish, spiders, lizards, snakes, etc.

It was super elaborate, like something from a zoo’s reptile exhibit.

I was honestly impressed.

But it was boiling and humid and didn’t smell very good.

It was like walking into a sauna that smelled like a farm.
