15+ Homeowners whose hosted entitled, impolite guests: '[She] let her 2-year-old eat chocolate biscotti and get it all over my new carpet'

You have no idea how people act behind closed doors until you let them stay with you for a weekend. I bet you could recall the worst house guest you ever had. That kind of experience leaves a real impression on a person! And, as some of the people below noted in their own stories, sometimes you have to cut a person off after they disrespect your humble abode. As hosts, we never expect our guests to treat our homes poorly. Most of us were raised to be super polite when someone invites you into their space — helping out with dishes, making polite conversation, being quiet during nighttime hours, not using up all their soap or eating all their food. And yet, as you'll read about below, some people had guests who've simply never heard of etiquette before, who are so wrapped up in their own wants and needs that they're happy to leave someone else's house worse than they found it. One sentence horror story: Some people (especially family members) seemingly can't resist rearranging someone else's home to their own liking This couple didn't know how to read the room Very impolite to treat that animal like she's not a family member Awful etiquette What an odd thing to do Now why, just why, would they do that? What was bothering them so bad? This is the kind of thing parents have nightmares about Why wouldn't they apologize and offer to pay???
