    What caused you to think "I'm never visiting again" after being in someone's home?

    deskjky2 "Oh yeah, did we mention we've got bedbugs? You should be OK, though." Might want to give someone a heads-up about that in advance. You know, so they can not come.

    Lee_of_the_Stone . A failed scorpion farm. Made the horrendous mistake of spending the night at my ex's parents' house. I woke up to the feeling of something crawling on me. I soon realized there were three somethings. I flipped on the light and discovered...scorpions.

    There are NO scorpions native to our area. I freak out, swat them off and then run to the bathroom to strip and check for more and when I turn on the light, several scorpions on the wall scattered like roaches. I wake up the ex because seriously, ?

    Apparently when he was younger he thought ant farms were boring and decided to order scorpions on the internet and make a scorpion farm instead. The survivors of his arachnid Mad Max setup escaped into the house where a few turned into an insane amount. The very

    wealthy parents chose to live with the scorpions rather than call an exterminator. Never went back. Edit: Two of the three were in my clothes and one was on my face. Definitely not my finest moment.

    gb1993 A work friend invited me over to his house to watch a hockey game so I said sure why not. I bought a 6 pick of beers and he said sweet. He just put them in his fridge. He proceeded to pour himself scotch but never asking me I wanted to have a drink. Then he pulled

    out some leftovers and made himself a dish and again, he never asked me if I was hungry. Then i just asked for a beer (that I had bought) and he said "i guess, but I was going to save them for another time". I left after the game and its been really akward at work.

    lisabeth54 Met my biological father and half siblings when I was 12. Spent a night at his house to "get to know my family". Proceeded the spend that entire night feeling disgusting, watching roaches crawl across the TV, trailing from the

    ceiling down the wall into the trash can. Crawling all over the piles of actual garbage laying on the bedroom floors. I did not use the bathroom that night. It was a very long night.

    Bmc00 They had accumulated so many dirty dishes, they just put them into the bath tub.

    aylakoi Was not offered any form of bedding. Slept on the floor while they slept on the bed.
  • 14
    Edit: there were three of us and we were both invited. Both guests slept on the floor. This has happened multiple times and I swear I will not go back now I can drive

    colellama626 Their bathroom floor was carpet and it was always wet. It went through my shoes and got my socks wet. First time, maybe someone just showered. Second time, nope I can't live like this.

    [deleted] Their house smelled so strongly of dog that I might as well have tied their dog to my face. They only had one medium- sized dog that spent most of its time in the back yard.

    catsgalore01 I turned on a light in the bathroom and I saw at least 30 roaches scatter

    ominous-music It was such a mess that the most organised guest's things would disappear into thin air and it permanently smelled like sausage rolls

    windinthelinen The house was over a hundred years old I think. Very thin walls... Water from a well... The tub was filled with moldy books and papers. The floor in front of the bath tub was rotted and caved in... The house was filled with stacks of newspapers and boxes from floor to ceiling

    and you had to navigate through them... The owner collected porcelain dolls and had them displayed in various places, many just still in boxes. The living room had a small opening between the newspaper columns to an old TV surrounded by the dolls and a single chair to watch it...

    But the worst part... I kept thinking there were odd curtains pinned to the roof... No. They were billowing nets of spider webs. Webs so dense that they looked like fabric and were just hanging like strung curtains. Spiders crawling all over the roof.

    Pledged to never return. I found out many years later that it burned down.

    nolifenightaudit My friend didn't tell me they had bed bugs until a week after I had gone home. My room got infested and all my furniture had to be tossed including the dresser my mom had painted for me when I was a kid.

    whornacia The pile of dishes in the sink with spiderwebs on it. Upon being asked what the deal was, she told me that a couple of years ago, her mom decided she wasn't doing the dishes anymore, they got divorced and the rest of the family swapped to paper plates. No one will do

    them out of spite so they've been there for more than 2-3 years by the time I saw it. It's been 5 years since and I doubt they've been touched.

    [deleted] Filth... just everywhere. And just WEIRD stuff... like in the garage, there was a dirty spatula on the seat of the brand new Harley. I saw one of the kids open a door on the coffee table and I saw a bowl full of what I'm guessing was either really old milk from cereal, or yellowed

    cottage cheese. Right inside the front door was a HUGE pile of shoes.. like a PILE of shoes. 5 people lived in that house and I think each person had 10 pairs of shoes in that pile. I'm pretty sure everyone had some sort of foot fungus because the whole pile smelled like garbage and Fritos.

    We keep getting offers to stay with them when we're in town... but no... hard pass.

    8bitbomberman They kept playing a game of who can make the guests more uncomfortable and both were winning. Also, I learnt that dinner was too much to ask for...at a dinner party.

    [deleted] On the last day of my last visit, I noticed my mom's smoke detector was lying broken on the shelf, having accrued a layer of dust already. I asked about it, and mentioned that I am concerned for her safety, particularly given that she uses a wood fireplace for house heating, and

    has gas appliances (CO hazard). I offered to go pick up a new one as I was shopping for road trip supplies. She got angry. I was judging her, which her child wouldn't/shouldn't do.

    Yelled at me, got in my face, followed me out the door to my car, and stood in the street, furious, as I left. I have never been back.

    AllPints North I will never again visit my BIL & SIL in the next state over. They are "FIRE" people. Financial independence, retire early. They don't spend a penny on anything, expect everyone else to subsidize their lifestyle, and openly

    judge anyone else that doesn't live life the exact way that they do. They go to bed @ 7:30 pm, so they expect everyone to have dinner at 5, and then be quiet when they go to sleep. They then get up at 4am, to workout/walk the dog,

    but don't give the same courtesy to anyone else because it's our fault we're 'sleeping so late'
