“That was the last time I left her alone in my home.”
Thatpostseemed to resonate withBuzzFeed Communitymembers because they began sharing their own nightmare guest stories.
Here’s what they revealed:
1.
“Once, two former, very religious friends dropped by my place unexpectedly.
The wife saw the pictures and began screaming, which made her husband rush over.
They immediately began mocking my high school friend.
I got angry and told them they had no right to read my mail or judge my friend.
and they both began to laugh uncontrollably.
At that point, I was so furious that all I could do was point to the door.”

She repotted all my plants and stuffed them into pots to ‘save space.’
She used my measuring cups to mix her glue for her art.
“Years ago, my husband’s friend was going through a divorce and needed a place to stay.
We let him stay at our house rent-free.
We really didn’t care if he had dates over since he had his own bedroom.
One morning, I walked into the living room and saw him getting a blowjob.
“A friend was visiting us, and we were in the living room watching a movie.
“One of my son’s friend’s girlfriend came over to my house for a few drinks.
“I gave a young friend a wedding shower.
I’m a pretty good cook/hostess, so I went all out on the food and drinks.
I set up a buffet with many choices and a drink station (no alcohol).
My friend’s future aunt was in front of me at the buffet.
She ate a chocolate-covered strawberry and put the stem on the buffet.
I didn’t say anything until she tasted a dip and then put the spoon back in the dip.
Of course, I removed the dip.”
“A short time later, I heard cupboards opening and closing while everyone was eating.
I entered the kitchen to find the aunt opening and closing my cupboards.
I asked her what she was doing, and she said she was looking for a coffee cup.
I told her there were coffee cups at the drink station.
Later, I heard cabinets opening and closing again.
I went down the hallway to find her snooping in my cabinets.
“In my early 20s, after college, a few friends and I had an apartment in Boston.
He was usually a good guest.
However, after a while, he got too comfy at our place.
No soap or cleansers!
He just had guests come over for a party he threw at our house!”
“My brother-in-law was visiting friends in Florida.
Our friend’s wife entered the kitchen and was shocked to see him standing there, calmly drinking coffee.
Also, he sunbathed nude in the backyard and sunned himself on the floaty in the pool.
I hope they burned all the furniture in the backyard.”
My roommate had recently moved out, so I invited my friend to stay at mine in the burbs.
I gave him my room and slept on the couch.
When he left, he apologized for running out of time to wash the bedding.
I washed everything twice, threw out my crusty pillows, and ended the friendship.
Dude, I put my face on those things.
How would washing my pillowcases make that okay?”
“A friend’s son, wife, and 16-month-old child came to escape the heat.
He told us his wife would be working and needed a quiet space every day.
We gave her an extra bedroom.
We gave her an extra bedroom.
That lasted a few hours.
She did not put the room back together.
I discovered it last Halloween!
They are extremely wealthy but clueless.”
“An old friend, whom I had not seen in years, visited me for about a week.
When I told my guest, my guest said, ‘Oh, that’s okay.
I just peed in your mug and dumped it down the sink.’
She then said to me, ‘But urine is sterile.
I’ve drunk my own urine before.
Monks do it all the time.’
Needless to say, I was speechless.”
Bathroom trips were the only escape allowed.
It was considered impolite to leave while she was on the phone!”
“We met a seemingly nice couple while traveling in Turks and Caicos.
We dined and visited a few places on the island since we had a rental car.
The other couple was staying a day longer and wondered if we wanted to leave the car with them.
We needed it to get to the airport.
Her husband warned her I wouldn’t like it, but she assured him we shared everything.
I was mortified at the invasion of my privacy and snatched my things up.
She kept bugging me to give her a certain pin.
I was really mad.
That was the last time I left her alone in my home.”
“My partner’s daughter came from out of town and stayed with us.
She is over 40 and rudely bossed her father around every day.
She stayed in our guest bedroom, which had been my deceased daughter’s bedroom.
I kept many of her things in the dresser and closet.
I was speechless and asked for an apology.
Didn’t happen.”
“Some family came for Thanksgiving for the first time.
They brought their dog (without asking…and we have cats) and lots of drugs.
They were drunk and stoned the entire time while fighting and giving each other the silent treatment.
But she was family, and I couldn’t turn her away.
While there, they would hide their own food in their room but eat all our food.
That’s what you get for being a good person.”
“Friends of my ex-husband’s stayed with us between moving houses.
I came home earlier than expected and found the wife leaving with a cooler of meat from my freezer.
Her sister was ‘facing hard times’ and needed it.
They could have actually stayed with her because she had room, but our place was ‘nicer.'”
I went along with it despite the rough start.
One Saturday morning, I was rudely awakened by the sound of a vacuum running before 6:00 a.m.
However, my vacuum was still broken from the last bad roommate!
I walked into the common area to see the houseguest blowing up my air mattress with a strange guy.
They popped my air mattress before 6:00 a.m. on a Saturday!”
At first, it was okay.
Then, their dog got pregnant because they hadn’t spayed her.
She gave birth, and they didn’t lift a finger to help with seven pups.
My husband and I paid for all the food and vet bills.
We raised, cleaned, socialized, and found homes for them.
That’s only the start.
We asked them to use the shed outside to smoke weed and not smoke in the house.
They didn’t care.
They both refused to clean the puke and let it sit for days until my husband cleaned it.
This happened multiple times.”
“Then, they bought four or more fish tanks and filled them with fish.
The tanks leaked all over the carpet in their room, which created mold.
The fish died of neglect.
Our basement reeked of weed, vomit, mold, and rotting food.
We tried to work with them for their kid’s sake for a while, but things got worse.
They fought and screamed at each other every night.
They lied and stole from us.
We finally had to kick them out.
They abandoned their dog with us.
They’ve had two more children.
Child services has been involved and has done nothing.
We got a cool dog out of it, at least.
Oh yeah, and they never did pay the rent.”

I don’t even remember his name or if I ever knew it.

“My husband’s cousin and his wife stayed with us for nearly a week.
They had bottles of cheap wine in their suitcases and drank continually.
We did speak to them about their drinking, but they shrugged it off.
We stayed with them previously and paid for everything, by the way.”

“My wife’s sister, who lives 11 hours away, likes to travel.
She has money and occasionally talks about how much she has in the bank.
We said no problem.
Once again, we said okay.
She then added that her son’s new girlfriend would also be staying.
The short stay turned into a week.
Despite having money for dinners, drinks, etc., they never contributed to any food.
My wife accepted this behavior since her sister has always been like this.”
“Finally, the week ended, and they left.
About a month later, a similar request came, and the sister asked to stay for three days.
She exploded, began crying, then left.
She has not asked to stay at our house since.”
“We lived in the country and had a beautiful view.
She promised it was just a couple of immediate family members.
Turns out there were over 100 people.
I wouldn’t treat a cheap motel that badly!”
We’d return every time to find she had rearranged the living room furniture!
The first few times, my mum was furious.
After that, it became a running joke.
She would move stuff around, but only little things to see if we’d notice.
Mind you, he did not pay rent or share any household expenses.
I came home from work to find them, their dogs, and their luggage in my living room.
“The dogs dragged their butts all over my carpet, spreading poo stains everywhere.
The friend’s fiancee mentioned relentlessly that she had a graduate degree.
Half the people in our house did, so it wasn’t a big deal.
If her degree was worth anything, it could’ve paid for a hotel.
Their kids paid my daughter no mind, even though she tried to be friendly with them.
Weeks later, they dared ask if my kid would be in their wedding.
I’d never met them before that weekend and never spoke to them again.
