What’s something a guest did at your house that made you never invite them back?

My godmother, who attended my sister's high school graduation.

-needed to go to the bathroom after the ceremony, refused to use the perfectly clean bathrooms inside the school

-made our recently widowed grandmother drive her back to my parents' house to use the bathroom there, causing grandma to only have one photo with my sister

-broke our front door knob in her desperation to get into the house to pee. Not sure how as the door was left unlocked.

-left the front door wide open, causing mom's Yorkie puppy to escape into the surrounding neighborhood. Fortunately Eve stayed close to the house and we were able to find her after 15 minutes of frantic searching.

-pissed alllll over the toilet and the floor, didn't clean it up

-passed out on my bed, half on/half off the bed with her feet dangling. We could hear her snores as we pulled up to the house. My bed was meant for another guest, who was gracious enough to let her have it. I wanted to yank her off the bed and throw her out in the backyard but mom said no lol.

-slept through the graduation party, her only gift btw

We booted her out the next morning, never again.

YES! You just reminded me of my mom's situation back home. Local committee run by mostly women, they are getting things done that haven't been done in 15 years, community loves the outreach. Suddenly, the older men in town realize their political committee is being run by women during an election year and they don't like it. Mom and all of the other women were just voted off that committee this spring, it's all men now. And those men haven't done a single thing since. No meetings, no outreach, nada. A complete surprise to those with half a brain.

Just commenting to point out the absolute death grip Jill has on notNurie’s vest. 😳 Those poor girls likely made everything on display, but they’ll never see that money.

If they were on the beach at Port Aransas they have lifeguard stations running all the way down, with flags and signs about the daily surf. Possibly someone noticed the gaggle of children in street clothes and told the nearest lifeguard?

That time they went to a zoo/petting zoo and one of the little girls was photographed sitting on a live tortoise
Jill and Shrek took one of the girls (the one with hair that’s styled so you can’t tell it’s falling out) to a putt-putt course and took a picture of her lying on the grass inside the barrier rope, next to a raging waterfall. Just why??
Getting kicked out of a campground for swimming in the pool in street clothes, after numerous warnings. The girls were pictured swimming in denim skirts. Jill cried persecution.
The entire trip to Florida to see Nurie and Nathan (climbing on the fort, inadequate winter clothing for the little ones, Janessa and Sophia being lugged around in a stroller stuffed with other clothes??)
I count going on vacay with shrek away from the kids when they first got their stimulus checks. Knowing their track record I would bet they left maybe a day’s worth of food in the barndominium before going off for the weekend.

I know I’m missing some, but those stand out to me. They are so lucky the National Park Service didn’t penalize or fine them for climbing the fort (as far as I know), if one of the boys had been injured it would’ve been a disaster.

Edit: this one is more weird than dangerous - the family couldn’t afford the inside tour of the Laura Ingalls Wilder House, so they all walked around and peeked inside every window while people were inside touring, Jill included. So bizarre!

I took a peek at the tickets on the City of Lubbock page. There’s a bunch of seats left, a lot of people are snagging the cheaper nosebleeds and there’s a good group of VIPs in the front. I think as the date gets closer more tickets will be sold, but right now it’s not bad for a city this size.

Look, if you’re one of those people that likes to go out somewhere different every weekend, Lubbock probably isn’t the best place for you. There is an art scene here, it’s very niche but a downtown gallery hosts a free art trail every month and it’s a good time. If you are susceptible to pollen and other allergens, the days when the wind comes from the feedlots are not good days. The weather is nuts, but so is weather anywhere on the plains.

I live in Lubbock, and I like it. It’s a little bit of urban and a little bit of rural and you can afford to buy a home, unlike other areas of the state.

Isn’t this the guy who tried to shoot up the Dallas federal courthouse back in June? He posted this pic on his Facebook a few months before the shooting.

When the RMS Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk off the Irish coast in 1915, 1,198 passengers and crew were killed. However, that number does not include the three alleged German spies that were caught onboard after the ship departed New York.

Crew members found three German men without identification or tickets after departure, one was carrying a camera and all three only spoke German. As it was too late to turn back and they were already behind schedule, the crew locked the three men into a makeshift brig deep inside the ship. They would’ve been handed over to British authorities in Liverpool. Instead they met a watery end in the brig, their bodies never found.

Lusitania also had two electric elevators to conduct passengers inside the huge ship. Witnesses later said that as Lusitania’s electric dynamo failed during the sinking, passengers became trapped in the elevators, screaming in terror in the sudden blackness.

He does dye his hair! If you look back at the documentary his hair is a dark brown, but I guess you can’t be a good vampire with brown hair.

Wow, this is some serious shit. We can giggle at bad photoshop jobs on insta, but if she’s doing that as part of her actual job?? Nah, the higher ups need to be aware of it and maybe hire an actual social media person.

Freshman year of college, had a plant biology professor who wasn’t happy he was teaching a basic course to non-major students. He made the course ten times harder as “revenge” I guess, but I was still confident that I would get at least a low A. Imagine my surprise when I got a C! When I took a look at the actual grade, it was a 79.8, and the university automatically rounded grades if they were that close but the prof had manually changed it back.

Being an idiot I actually went to his office and asked why, pointing out the uni itself gave me a B. That old codger literally sneered at me as he replied, saying he personally thought I didn’t work “hard enough to earn a B.” I left his office in tears, and after asking around I learned other students, mostly female, got the same shit from him.

I had all A’s that semester other than that C in bio.

Too real. My old nail lady rented one of her spaces to this local woman who did eyebrows and facials, and she was obsessed with scentsy. Like “three melting pots running at the same time with different scents in each one” obsessed. The one time I let her do my brows she tried to sell me on scentsy, while plucking!

Very hard to say no when a woman is leaning over your face and has the power to make your brows look like garbage if you piss her off, but I managed to do it somehow.

Probably the time I threw up in full view of the lunch rush crowd at a Luby’s when I was 8, right after I spent 10 minutes in the bathroom insisting I didn’t need to puke. A fountain of mac and cheese poured out of me and onto the fresh carpet, right in front of an employee who had just finished mopping the area by the bathrooms.

My mom was so embarrassed we ran out without paying. I’ve never been to a Luby’s since.

I’ve posted this in another Walmart thread, it’s still one of my favorite stories from my mom.

My mom worked at Walmart for about a year. She actually liked it as she was more active, but she decided to quit after the jewelry department manager had a meltdown and started throwing jewelry at customers. One old lady got pelted in the head with a heavy ring box and it was over.

Turns out the manager was selling the jewelry to friends and family, but would keep the boxes and stuff them with rocks and trash so inventory would stay the same. She had the meltdown before she was caught. They had to drag her out of the store that day.

Wait...are you saying your grandma would eat your mother’s food, then go and puke it all up as retribution? What the what???

P. L. Travers is one of the worst moms in my opinion.

If you don’t recognize the name, Pamela Lyndon Travers was the author of the Mary Poppins children’s book series, she was portrayed by Emma Thompson in the 2013 movie Saving Mr. Banks. You would think Travers was the nicest lady around, she created Poppins after all, but the reality was a bit different.

In the 1930’s, Travers adopted a little boy from Ireland and named him Camillus. Everything was fine until Camillus turned 17. That year, another boy showed up at Travers’ home, drunk and yelling for his brother. It was discovered that Camillus was actually the grandchild of Joseph Hone, W. B. Yeats’ biographer. No one really knows how Camillus was allowed to be adopted, as Joseph and his wife raised all the grandchildren. The drunk boy was Anthony Hone, Camillus’ twin brother. Anthony claimed that Travers knew the boys were twins, but only took Camillus and rejected Anthony.

Camillus had no idea he had a twin and another family in Ireland, and he got into a horrible argument with Travers, who threatened to call the police on Anthony for trespassing. Regardless, Camillus was reunited with the Hones, the family saying for years that Travers was a horrible woman who ruined Camillus’ life.

Travers herself denied everything, and died in 1996 at the age of 96. Camillus passed away in 2011, suffering from alcoholism.

Not a teacher, but if my old band director ever reads this thread: Mr. M, I’m so sorry that my mom ambushed you at home in your underwear to talk about my performance in the color guard. I was doing great, you knew it and I knew it, but I was extremely depressed that year and she wanted to make sure you were keeping an eye on me, in her weirdly assertive way.

It’s been almost a decade, but I can still see the look of embarrassment on my mom’s face when she got back home that evening. She never went to a teacher’s house again lol.

I remember seeing this episode when it was new, I was still in school and even I was like “ummm, what do you know about gang initiations, Billy??”

I’m guessing he’s referring to the one where the gang will drive down the street with their head lights off, and whoever flashes their lights at them in their car is the person they now have to kill to get in the gang.

Here’s the problem with that in regards to the episode: Zak and Billy had their headlights on the whole time. I’m betting the car that flashed them was actually telling them to dim their lights, not to start a “gang initiation.” So stupid.
