‘You’re a guest in my house, act like one’: Woman staying at a relative’s home stops doing house chores after the host snaps at her to act like a guest, letting dishes and laundry pile up until the overwhelmed host begs her to return to her helpful ways

Just like no one outpizzas the hut. This woman's relative will not let anyone staying with her to out-host her. 

This one woman showed up at her relative's house determined to be the model guest, ready to cook meals, keep things clean, and replenish the groceries before anyone even noticed something was missing. Then came the great iron incident, where her gentle safety reminder was rewarded not with gratitude but with a pointed remark to remember her place as a guest. Message received.

From that moment, her approach was simple: total compliance. She stopped cooking, left the laundry for someone else, and treated the couch as her new command center. Her "thank you" at every meal was delivered with the flat cheer of a bored hotel guest, and the kitchen slowly evolved into a disaster zone. Dirty dishes began to multiply, surfaces lost their familiar shine, and a subtle tension crept in with every unchecked chore.

It took just a handful of days before her host's smile started twitching and the discomfort in the house grew thick enough to cut with a butter knife. The inevitable moment arrived when her relative finally asked if she planned to be a permanent fixture on the sofa.
