There are two types of guests in the world: those who call before arriving, respect your personal space, thank you for your hospitality, and leave at a decent hour; and then those who make you want to never have anyone over ever again.
The latter are the ones who take "make yourself at home" far too seriously. To them, it's an invite to behave like a wild animal that's just been unleashed. And you have to wonder, "If they act like this in someone else's space, what in the please-leave-right-now are they getting up to in their own home?
Someone asked, "What's the worst thing a guest has ever done in your home?" and many of the responses read like the script of a low-budget horror movie. Bored Panda has put together a list of the best of the worst... Among them: the father-in-law who cut his fingernails at a dining room table and left the clippings behind; a man who snooped through a couple's wardrobe, and sniffed the wife's underwear; and the charmer who stole someone's pet hedgehog before trashing the house to make it look like a robbery.

Not me, but my sister told me about the time a friend of hers spent the night because she'd had too much to drink and she urinated on her couch, flipped the couch cushions over, and was out of the house before my sis and her husband woke up.
Throughout the say my sister kept smelling that tell-tale pee stench and finally thoroughly examined the couch... when she pulled up the couch cushion, she was splashed in the face by droplets. She screamed and my BIL found her at the sink splashing her face vigorously with water. She immediately called her friend and screamed at her, "At least give me a heads up!!! I got your bodily fluids on MY FACE!!!"

A friend's 7-year-old was running roughshod in my tiny apartment breaking two vases. She didn't do or say anything so I finally said to him he had to stop running around because he's being destructive. He got so mad he picked up a chess piece off the board I kept on a stand and stomped on it snashing it. It was a hand-made wooden piece from a friend who carved every single piece himself as a gift to me. I was heartbroken. I kicked them both out and we never saw each other again.

A (former) friend asked if he could crash for a couple nights while he was moving. I got home from work and he had moved his entire apartment into my living room. Couches, mattress, boxes. Every day was another delay until day 15 when I told him I was done and everything better disappear (including him) before I got back from work.

They had a can of tuna as a midnight snack. Then stuck the empty in a dresser drawer and forgot about it.
In a sleepout room that isn't regularly used.
If you open that drawer 20+ years later you get a faint whiff of tuna.
The guest... was me, visiting my mum. Teenage me, with binge eating issues and lots of shame about it.

A friend brought her girlfriend over to hang out in our pool and have dinner. We hung out in the pool and everything was great, had dinner and that was fine too. After we finished eating dinner the girlfriend decided to let out a belch worthy of '80s comedy before pulling her top off to sunbathe with her chest out. My husband just got up and went inside saying he would leave us to have girl talk.
Neither one of them got invited back.

I prepared a dinner for 8 people, in Paris, with zero forewarning. I was advised at 6pm by my husband, while I was still at work. I had to shop, go home, and cook (people eat very late - dinner will be fixed at 8.30 pm but often will not start for another hour). It was a group of Parisian « intellectuals », French ministers, and senior diplomats in the early 2000s. I prepared a roast leg of lamb, and after the course, one of the invitees said « thank you parisdreaming… but the lamb was slightly overcooked ».
Yep. We divorced.

Took a hot pot off the burner and put it directly on my Formica countertop. Burned a deep round scar in the countertop. She brushed it off by saying "that will buff out.". I had to replace the countertops and I never spoke to her again.

Dipped their toddler that was covered in ice cream into our pool to "clean them off"..., another time we found words carved into our bathroom wall (think it was young girls when family visited but what the hell?!)

My 6th grade birthday party. I wanted a hover disc sooooo bad, literally the only thing I asked for. Family friend managed to find the massive tie-dye one featured in the commercial. She showed up with it already inflated with helium. Let me tell you I was over the moon.
I threw it once and was going to put it away until later, it was a very breezy day, house with a lot of trees around it.
This one girl came to my party, (gotta invite the whole class) she wasn't the nicest kid. She proceeded to throw a fit calling me selfish for not sharing. Then ran and snatched it and threw it right towards the decorative windmill in the yard. Sliced it right open, it was completely ruined. Then had the audacity to cry and play victim.
I was beyond devastated. The same family friend took me out on a different day to pick a new one out. The only ones to be found were much smaller and only had SpongeBob. Walmart over inflated the first two and busted those. So we picked up the last one they had and took it to a random grocery store on the way home, they were out of helium. So air it was. To add further insult to injury that one had a slight warp in it.

Let their kid dump a huge container of fish food all over inside a large basket of aquarium supplies. They never said a word about it. I discovered it when I went to feed my fish and the container was empty.

Someone who knew just enough about chiropractic procedures to be dangerous offered to do a back realignment on our daughter.
She was 18 months old.
Needless to say, it was a GTFO moment.

Randomly made herself a ton of food all night and only ate a bite of each thing. No exaggeration, she straight up cut half a block of cheese, took one bite. Four slices of peanut butter toast, a bite out of one piece. Room covered in the food she made but didn't eat and tons of drinks. She did this within like 8 hours of a night while I slept. I was absolutely shocked cleaning it the next day and very confused.

Best friend staying at my house, with our dog, while we were out of town. He came back completely shnockered one night, fell down on the kitchen floor, puked all over then went upstairs to the bathroom to clean himself up. He passed out in the bathroom and woke up the next morning.
He came down in the morning, after remembering he puked in the kitchen the night before. There was NO mess, No puke, everything was clean.
One guess as to how it got cleaned up.

This is both the best and worst thing a guest has done. I had a buddy over for dinner at my parents place. My Dad has always been a great storyteller, telling stories from his youth. My buddy was fully invested in the story he was telling. He politely waited until my Dad was done to say "Hey, so...is that supposed to be on fire?" A candle had set fire to some fake plants that none of us noticed that clearly had gone on for a bit. Nice of him to be so polite, but, like, its okay to interrupt if the house is burning down. LOL (we put the fire out and everything was fine).

Not me, but one of my friends once called me up for advice on what to do because she'd just discovered that a friend who slept in her place while she was away had USED HER ADULT TOY. And put it back. UNCLEANED.
