Here are a few of the worst, most disgusting ones.
I knew she owned a lot of rescueanimals, but I didn’t think she’d be so neglectful.
I arrived at her house, and it smelled so bad.
Their puppy hopped onto me, and within seconds, I was finding fleas on my body."
“They insisted that it wasn’t a big deal and you could just brush away the fleas.
I still don’t get why I still stayed over.

She fixed vegetable soup one night that included macaroni.
There were shells from weevil larvae floating in the soup.
She was easily offended, so I pushed them aside and finished that bowl.
No refills, thank you!”
and simply cut off their heads and feet, plucked them, and put them on the BBQ.

One time, I went over for a birthday party.
They have lots of cats and dogs, so hair was everywhere.
When it came time for dessert, her oldest kid dropped her cupcake on the ground.
Her mom picked it up and made her eat it even though it was covered in cat hair.
My mom took me home immediately after."
“I went to a friend’s Thanksgiving one year.
But they had no idea how to cook vegan food properly.
“My stomach alerted me again that trouble was afoot.I decided it was just too much starch.
Took a bite of the unseasoned, unsalted, microwaved Brussels sprouts.
“I was in there for half an hourand only returned because I felt awkward about the time spent.

“I was babysitting at a house that had an older dog.
Then he let out a huge gloppy poo on the rug right in front of us.
Then he just tossed the unwashed spatula back in the kitchen drawer.
I never ate anything in that house.”
I wanted to vomit when I caught him doing that.
I could only think about how I used silverware he had ‘cleaned’ probably hundreds of times.
I recently saw the episode ofFriendswhere Joey does that with a spoon.
I guess it’s not a completely unheard-of disgusting behavior, but dear lord.”

“Parents went out of town and left us kids at a friend’s house overnight.
For breakfast, they served cereal, orange juice, etc.
Everyone had a full glass, but I was the only one who had polished mine off.
So much waste, I thought.
“I dated a girl whose grandmother sold delicious tamales out of her trunk.
I picked this girl up at her grandma’s apartment but used the bathroom before we left.
She was washing all her panties, bras, and pantyhose in the bathtub.

“My mother-in-law saves used napkins if they’re only a little bit dirty and USES THEM FOR GUESTS.
Like, WTF, mate?!
She tried teaching my daughter to save her used napkin once.
I found out later and told my daughter that is something she SHOULD disobey Nana on.
Never mind that she was teaching my daughter this during COVID.
It’s nasty on its own, but dang!”
“When I was around 10, we went to my parents' friend’s house to eat dinner.
He also invited a couple who offered to make venison stew.
We all sat down to eat; the venison was chewy and gross.
Being polite, we kept eating, and my dad asked where they got the deer meat.
The couple proudly announced that IT WAS ROADKILL.
They were feeding us a dead deer they’d found on the side of the road.
Who knows how long it had sat there?
My parents gave me a look not to eat anymore.
Thankfully, we didn’t get sick, but we never ate anything they made again.”

“My grandma was invited next door to have pie and coffee with her neighbor.
The neighbor said, ‘No, it’s pumpkin.’
She slapped her hand on the counter, and roaches ran off the pie and scattered all over.
Grandma just said she was allergic to pumpkin, turned around, and went back home.”

“I was dating a guy I liked a lot.
I started spending the weekends at his house and noticed he didn’t have hand soap in the bathroom.
The next weekend, it was gone.
They told me this as he was preparing a fish dinner for us…with his bare hands.
We broke up shortly after I found this out.”
“I helped clean a relative’s house once when they were in the hospital.
Everything in the fridge had expiredyearsago.
“Ever since the fridge incident, we’ve only eaten at restaurants with this person.
It’s so easy to miss dates on condiments that hang out on the door for a while.”

Anyone who was over could always grab a plate, and the food was always delicious.
While on Christmas break from school, my friends and I all gravitated to our friend’s house.
We played pool, watched TV, and had a great time as usual.
There were always dirty dishes in the sink and litter from litter boxes all over the floor.
“I told my family, and they all said, ‘Ew.’

“Thanksgiving at my sister-in-law’s house.
I’m standing in the kitchen, talking to my sister-in-law’s mother, and she’s making stuffing.
My brother-in-law and I locked eyes that were bugging out of our heads with silent vows of abstention exchanged.
To make things more fun, she’s a regional manager for a string of large diners.
The teacher thought that if something was in the fridge, it could never go bad.
This woman was teaching us how to cook and take care of our homes.

“My partner’s coworker works in a food safety lab.
She was famous around the office for making homemade cupcakes.
One day, someone asked her for the cupcake recipe.
A key ingredient was something called ‘sweet milk.’
When my husband called him on it, his dad argued with him.
This isn’t the only problem we have had there.
On the same trip, the dish-drying towel literally smelled like vomit (I wonder why…).
We refuse to allow them to sicken us and our children just to keep the peace.”
