Visiting someone’s home can tell you a lot about them, from how they live to how they treat their guests. But sometimes, all it takes is one glance at the kitchen or one trip to the bathroom to make you regret accepting the invitation. Now, you’re mentally planning your escape and wondering how soon you can leave without being rude.
We’ve rounded up people’s stories about the things they saw at someone’s home that made them swear never to return. From downright disturbing discoveries to bizarre sights that left guests speechless, these experiences might make you think twice about your next house visit.
Get comfortable and scroll on, because some of these homes sound like places you’d need a very good excuse to leave.

Might be controversial but a dog. I'm talking a massive German Shepherd that did not stop barking the entire time to the point we couldn't go to the bathroom in case we set it off.

While at university, I was invited to stay for the weekend at the parents’ house of my handsome new boyfriend. We had dinner with his mum and dad, the four of us around the table; I was doing my best to impress … and after dinner I suggested that I take the used plates back into the kitchen. “No need!” breezed my boyfriend’s mum, at which point my boyfriend and his parents (still seated) picked up their dinner plates and held them low for their roaming dogs to lick the plates ‘clean’. “Of course-“breezed the mum, “-we do put the plates in the dishwasher afterwards.”
My new relationship did not last even half that weekend.

One of my best friends lives in a house that is literally a tip.
And he isn’t poor by any means, he is quite well off. But the house is just filthy. Boxes scattered everywhere, floor dirty because shoes aren’t being taken off.
I’m not in a rush to go back.

In high school, my friend's house, they had like 5 or 6 Shar Peis. The smell, oh god the smell. I left as soon as I could and never went back.
