What is the weirdest thing a guest has ever done at your house?

I don't know about weird but one woman who visited threw my cat off a chair because she wanted to sit on it (there were other perfectly good chairs in the room). When she left, I didn't tell her that the back of her coat was covered in black hairs.

First Marriage: My horrible Mother-in Law would always show up unannounced. She took white gloves out of her purse, put them on and ran her fingers over all the shelves and the top of the refrigerator to see if there was dust!

hahaha! Insanity!

I'd have shown her more places to check.
Many more.

I’ve had people help themselves to the fridge, look through cupboards, open doors to bedrooms and look through bathroom cupboards as well as push the shower curtain back to see how clean or unclean our bathtub is.
It’s feels like being interrogated.

It's been a long time since I've seen the commercial, but there used to be a television commercial where an older woman dressed in a hat and wearing white gloves, would come by a couples house (can't recall if she was an aunt or the Mrs. MIL), and the older woman would run one of her white gloved hands on top of the doorsills to check for cleanliness.

That's what your post reminded me of, Keesha, someone being snoopy and inspecting their surroundings at the expense of the homeowner.

I had an aunt who did that to every woman who married into the family. When I was newlywed, my cousin (her son) called to tell me she was on her way to "meet the new bride". I answered the door I kissed her cheek, handed her a can of furniture polish and 2 dustcloths and said "Here, this'll save you some time."

YOU ACTUALLY DID THAT? THAT'S AWESOME!!!!
 
When I lived in the city, my husband would go bowling one night a week with some of the neighborhood guys. One guy would stop in and wait for my husband to drive them because he didn't want to go through the trouble of driving and then have to look for a parking place when they came home. While he was waiting for my husband to take him, one night I saw him standing where I would put my mail and he picked the mail up and started even opening some of them. I asked him what he was doing and he said "I just wanted to see what your electric bill cost." That was the last time I ever let him in the house and I told my husband not to give him a ride anymore.
 
There must be a certain kind of person who thinks it's acceptable to go through drawers and cabinets in houses they are visiting. My mother did this during the night when staying at my house. My sister once took my mother to the home of a friend where she visited the bathroom and was gone a long time. My sister went in pursuit of her, and found mother going through the medicine cabinet... 🙀
 
My story has nothing on any of these. My neighbour is a really lovely lady. She came in and did a tour admiring the art in every room. If she weren’t so sweet, I’d be angry instead of still in shock. Ours isn’t the only house she’s done this in. Everyone is so taken aback that we go wth the flow. She’s from Korea so we all thought it was part of the culture.
 
Actually, I think any visitors must have thought we were the weird ones. I was walking around with a cockatiel perched on my head, all callers were given the once-over by the house-bunny, and the cat would dive into the ladies handbags to examine the contents!
 
I had quite a gathering for my parents 40th anniversary and had a buffet style dinner. As all the quests were leaving one of my Moms friends went to the large pocketbook she had and pulled out a canvas tote and went up and down the table and loaded her tote. She even had some plastic bags for the runny stuff. Many people were still saying their goodbyes and my mom was mortified by her actions.
 
It Was our American friends new girlfriend, she sat in our bathroom for over 2 hrs ,
When she finally came out , there was hair dye all over the shower, talc all over the floor and my toilet was broke ......🤬

I have seen people take out containers and filled up BEFORE the rest of the gathering even had a chance to go down a buffet and eat ....
saying things like " my spouse could not make it" or "looks so good i did not want to miss out"

I cannot believe the gall some people have.
This has also happened at work gatherings. the place i work now pre-pandemic had fruit delivered 3 times a week to be a healthy afternoon snack for office ..... I watched a few people bring a bag and load up as if they were shopping at a market .......... this was not a low paid industry and others took whole boxes of tea bags home as well ......... there simply is no excuse for this sort of rude.
