It seems to me like a fairly obvious thing to treat another person's home in the same way you would want yours to be treated, but unfortunately, there are plenty of people out there who don't do that. In fact, there are some out there who act horrendously without even a second thought as to who they may be affecting.
Just be thankful that you never had one of the people from these Reddit stories in your home...
1. Spirits and fish don't mix
"Someone at a party dumped a cup of vodka in my fish tank because "your fish look bored! hahaha!" ... I kicked everyone out and had to change out all the water before they died." - Murkey-Purple
2. The final word?
"My sister in law got really drunk and s**t on my coffee table during an argument." - hosstradamus
3. Ban him for life!
"Roommate's boyfriend comes over drunk. Roommate was not there but he said he wanted to wait for her, and we were too non-confrontational to make him leave. After a while, he goes into the bathroom and we can hear lots of splashing around, but again, too timid to ask wtf is going on in there. He comes out, sits down, and we notice his arms are completely covered in black marker. Then he says "you might want to clean up the bathroom. there is water all over in there." and leaves.
"He had taken a f*cking black sharpie, colored his arms, then tried cleaning it off and when it wouldn't come off he got the marker wet and splashed black sharpie water all over the entire bathroom. There were puddles of purple sharpie water all over the floor. It stained the linoleum and, despite our roommate's attempts to clean it up, we ended up losing security deposit money over it.
"He was no longer allowed over without her there." - HotDishEnthusiast
4. Too much to drink
"Wake up in the middle of the night, hobble to what he thought was the bathroom (he was trashed), and then start pissing against the wall/hallway floor.
"I woke up to the sound of a very heavy stream and then my mom shouting, "WHAT THE F**K?!"- DrProfessorElizabutt
5. The worst dog owner
"Had a friend comer over for a weekend thing to celebrate my 6th month of sobriety. He brought his girlfriend, who brought her Cocker Spaniel. Who proceeded to s**t on my couch, and not a solid s**t either,. I'm talking that thick, cake batter diarrhea they get from cheap Off Brand dog food.
"She just looked at me, pinching her nose and said snottily 'arent you going to like clean that up'. My friend looked at her she just had a xenomorph Chest Burster live up to its name right there in the room, got up, grabbed some papertowels, and cleaned it while apologizing to me repeatedly.
"He dumped her the next day because the same thing happened at his parents house." - WeirdWolfGuy
6. Kids will be kids?
"I used to host extravagant yearly parties at my house as a thank you to everyone who worked for me. Significant others were fine, but I stressed that young kids were not welcome, because it was an adult party and the house/garden just weren’t child-friendly.
"One of the guests who's a mother decided to bring her 4 children anyway, all under the age of 12, and leave them completely unattended. I walked into my master bedroom halfway through to find they had filled a dirt hole in the garden with water from a hose, made goopy mud pies, stomped around in them, come back inside and crawled into my bed under the covers, and ground their shoes intentionally into my pillow and all the bedding. They also took all the clothes out of my closet, put them on, threw them on the floor and stepped on those, and ruined two rugs on the way.
"The mom's response: "Haha! Well, that's just how kids are, you know. You'll understand once you decide to finally grow up and have some." - ReshKayden
7. What in the world...
"Cousin's were visiting and one of them used the bathroom. Somehow managed to get some poop on his hand. Wash it off in the sink? No, I'll just wipe in on the window, so someone comes in later and sees a brown smear. Kid was 14." - Lord_Gilgamesh_III
8. Surprise visitor
"A co-worker of my husband's just walked in our back door one night and had the gall to call me a b***h when I told him I was going to call the cops if he didn't leave. Apparently, he thought it would be fine to just walk in because "your husband knows I'm coming over; why are you freaking out?" I'd never met this guy, our kid was asleep, and my husband (who wasn't supposed to be home from work for a couple more hours) hadn't texted me that Dude was coming over; of course I'm going to freak out!" - ServantofShemhazai
9. Dog hater
"A beast of a relative came over with his new wife, who apparently hated dogs, but didn't warn us or ask us to move ours into another room. Our jolly, obese Bichon Frise was just walking around smelling people's legs, not even jumping up, and he kicked my poor dog with no warning! I still haven't gotten over it, and I still don't like him." - rose-bradwardine
It should go without saying - but you should treat even your closest friend's house with the utmost respect. Saying that, it's going to be pretty hard to find a guest that acts as badly as the people in these stories.
Not everyone abides by social rules. Some people, in fact, go out of their way to defy them. Hotel staff and Airbnb hosts are perhaps the most qualified to confirm this claim, having rented their rooms to some of the rudest guests imaginable. From dirty diapers to stashed fingernails, here are 30 of the most disgusting guests you wouldn't want staying in your home!
[post_page_title]Clearly a Wild Night...[/post_page_title]
I'm sure the maids were cursing this hotel guest, who evidently threw a wild party the night before and didn't bother to tidy up after themselves. Their neighbors can't have gotten much sleep judging by the state of that room!

I just want to know what was happening for that bed to end up like that!
[post_page_title]Alcoholic Artwork[/post_page_title]
This one is interesting. When cleaning a room after a guest had left, this wondrous work of art: a smiley face compiled entirely out of empty beer bottles. As cute as it is, I doubt this made whoever discovered it smile...

I personally think that this should be placed in a museum somewhere to be admired by everyone.
[post_page_title]Room Service[/post_page_title]
The general rule with room service is that you leave the tray outside your door when you're done. This guest clearly didn't get the memo. They also seem to have emptied their bin onto the floor and taken off with the bed. Lovely.
[caption id="attachment_2326" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

They clearly have no regard for the people that have clean all of this up or the people booked into that room after them.
[post_page_title]A Beautiful Painting[/post_page_title]
This guest apparently didn't enjoy the artwork that was hung in their room, deciding to take it upon themselves to give it an upgrade. Whilst I think that this guests art is a stroke of pure genius, I don't think the owner would agree.

Here's hoping it's only going to take a wet cloth to get rid of that...
[post_page_title]Do Not Disturb[/post_page_title]
One of the more disgusting images on this list, this guest decided that a "Do Not Disturb" sign would not suffice and chose to hang a condom from his door handle instead. I'm sure it served its purpose well.
[caption id="attachment_2329" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

I think we can all agree that we hope it was at least a new one and not something more sinister.
[post_page_title]I Feel Like We've Left Something Behind...[/post_page_title]
We've all forgotten something in a hotel or an Airbnb - a hairbrush, a toothbrush, maybe a pair of socks. This guest forgot something BIG. Maybe it was left as a gift for the owner?

This is the kindest item on this list by far. Dylan Wilson was clearly thinking of his room's next tenants when he wrote them this note explaining the origins of the mysterious stains on the bedsheets.

This is genuinely so sweet. Why can't all of these guests be more like Dylan?
[post_page_title]Sticky Fingers[/post_page_title]
Perhaps the biggest risk when putting your house on Airbnb is guests stealing from you. This guest apparently thought she was entitled to take whatever she wanted when she left, taking to social media to brag about her thievery.

The fact that she had the audacity to show this off is astounding to me.

[post_page_title]This Is Just Cruel[/post_page_title]
A nightmare situation for anyone working in the service industry, okay, anyone, is finding a dead body, and, unfortunately, whether it's the result of mother nature or something more sinister, can and does happen...
[caption id="attachment_2547" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Needless to say, the guy who decided to play a prank on the staff at this hotel is the cruelest of the cruel. Here's hoping none of them had preexisting heart conditions!

It's often said that the customer is always right, but anyone who has worked in the service industry knows that this is far from the case. Like this guy...
[caption id="attachment_2550" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

"I work 3rd shift at a hotel," wrote Reddit user flint_mi. "For ten minutes, the guy argued he was staying in 227. We don't have a 227. He was at the wrong hotel. Happy New Year."
[post_page_title]Damaged Property[/post_page_title]
Hotels are businesses like any other and to make money, guests can't be damaging their property left, right and center, which is why the parents of the kids who did this have a sin to answer for...
[caption id="attachment_2555" align="aligncenter" width="760"]

"Annoying kids pulled the bolts out," wrote Reddit user TrinabhDodo. "This is in a hotel owned by my family and I."

[post_page_title]Bold-Faced Robbery[/post_page_title]
For many, one of the perks of going to a hotel is taking the miniatures home with you. Little bottles of shampoo and body wash always come in handy at a later date. But these guys took this concept too far...

There's nothing wrong with looking at adult entertainment, but because of its explicit nature, it's material that should be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home and not in a hotel lobby.

"Just a dude looking at porn in the open hotel lobby," wrote Reddit user Efentool.
[post_page_title]Animal Behavior[/post_page_title]
It's a given that parents should try to set the best possible example for their kids from an early age, something the guardian of this baby clearly hasn't got the memo about... or, y'know, basic human decency.

The dangers of smoking are common knowledge these days, which is why it's banned in public places. This person, however, clearly didn't give a sh*t about their fellow hotel guests.

Diaper changing trays are a Godsend for the parents of young children, making a necessary task that bit easier, and they are always accompanied by a bin of sorts for obvious reasons. Clearly, this person couldn't be bothered to use it...

I like to think that I have good general manners - I say "please" and "thank you", I hold the door open for people coming through and I NEVER talk in the cinema (the worst crime of all). However, not everyone abides by these social rules. Some people, in fact, go out of their way to defy them.

"Found a great tip," wrote Reddit user Torasaurusx. "Staying in a hotel, that time of the month comes out of the blue. Forgot to pack knickers so came up with a good way to quickly wash them. The hotel kettle! Quick, fast and hygienic. Just call me Mcgyver."

For many, one of the perks of going to a hotel is taking the miniatures home with you. Little bottles of shampoo and body wash always come in handy at a later date. But these guys took this concept too far...

There's nothing wrong with looking at adult entertainment, but because of its explicit nature, it's material that should be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home and not in a hotel lobby.

There are two kinds of people: those who fuss over every detail when they arrive in their hotel room, and those who jump straight on the bed. I'm definitely in the latter category, and as fun and relaxing as it is, the more are pedantic likely get much better rooms at the end of the day.
And it's not as if they are wrong to check, since even the cleanest of hotel rooms may have some gross secrets from former occupants. Just picture what these rooms look like when the cleaners find them, they must be awful, right? Though there's no need to imagine when Reddit has found testimonies from real-life hotel workers, revealing some truly disturbing secrets...
1. Not exactly a cunning plan
2. This sounds inhuman...
3. Too many stories to tell
4. An unwelcome surprise
5. This hotel needs to revise its 'do not disturb' policy
6. This is what hell must be like
7. Two very different experiences
8. This guy sounds like the worst person
9. A shocking sight
10. So close, yet so far...
11. Is this kid the antichrist?
12. A close call
13. I'd consider working elsewhere...
If anything, this list will certainly convince people to avoid working in housekeeping if they can help it. If I had to clean up or otherwise deal with even one of these horrific events I would be running for the hills.

A bride and groom forced their guests to wash dirty dishes after dinner as they couldn't afford to hire help.
The story of the wedding from hell was shared on Reddit by u/Kidpixthrowaway, who explained that the reason the couple's budget didn't cover the washing up was that they had blown all their money on the lavish venue and the bride's couture gown.
The Reddit user recalled: "The bride (a relative of mine) and groom have gone all out, renting a gorgeous and expensive venue for their wedding. Beautiful ceremony, lovely pictures, etc. The buffet line and tables have been set up on the screened porch of the building. Food looks great."
However, it later came out that the newlyweds had decided to "self-cater". This basically meant that the dishes and glassware had been rented out and that if they weren't returned clean by the end of the evening, the couple would lose their deposit.
The Reddit user goes on to explain that the maid of honor directed some of the wedding guests to the kitchen and informed them that they were expected to wash all the dishes stacked before them.

The user explained: "So I and about nine other guests spend most of the reception in the kitchen, elbow-deep in soap and water. We miss the first dance and the cutting of the cake, which turns out to be for the best because (wait for it) they hadn’t purchased enough cake for everyone either."
What's more, the couple ended up divorcing a mere three years later. The original poster explained that they had learned a good lesson that day and declined their invitation to the bride's second wedding.
Needless to say, fellow Reddit users were outraged by their audacity to invite "loved ones" to their wedding only to force them to wash up during the actual event.
One person wrote: "That is INSANE. Imagine inviting a bunch of folks then having the gall to tell them 1/4 of them will DELIBERATELY be left hungry. Including cake!"

A number of people claimed they would have refused to wash dishes, with one user writing: "I'll be honest. Unless they were f***ed over by the staff ( ie: no one showed up for some reason), I would probably leave and not wash dishes for those cheapskates. It's not a church luncheon, it's a wedding. There are different expectations."

A different user, however, admitted they probably would have washed the dishes, writing: "Honestly, I probably would have washed dishes too, due to being too 'wtf is going on what do I do???' to actually say anything."
Being a 13-year-old girl is tough going sometimes; trust me - I was one. Aside from the whole puberty thing, the catty schoolmates, and the sudden obsession with celebrity crushes, there's one aspect of teenage life that makes every day just a little bit harder: parents.
Because even though they know that you are currently battling a strange world of hormones and anxiety, they still throw in extra obstacles by constantly (and, from a teenage girl's perspective, unreasonably) demanding that you do your chores or get out of bed before midday.
And one mum took that to the extreme this week by suggesting that she would kick her 13-year-old daughter out of her room if she continued to leave it in such a "disgusting" state.
In a post on Mumsnet's infamous "AIBU" (am I being unreasonable) section, one user, "Donthugmeimscared", asked whether it was unreasonable "To make [her daughter] give up her room if she can't look after it".
"I am so sick of dd [darling daughter] 13 living in filth. She is disgusting. We are in a three-bed house and her brothers 7 and 10 share. I’m so fed up with her mess that I’ve told her that if she doesn’t sort it out she’s sharing with her 7 yr old ds [darling sibling] and her 10yr old ds can have her room as he will actually appreciate it."
She then continued:
"By disgusting I mean gross she couldn’t give a toss what she leaves on the floor including underwear where her San pro has leaked. I’ve helped her many times to clean it only for the floor to be covered in crap by the next day. Even worse if I take clean clothes in for her to put away she just chucks it on top of the mess. It’s only a small box room so gets bad fast and according to her I’m stressing her out telling her to clean it and it’s her human right to have a room for herself."
In fairness to the mother, this does sound super gross. However, not everyone agreed with her stance on how to deal with the matter.
"It's her room," wrote one user. "Does it matter if it's messy?"
"You can't expect a teenage girl to share with a younger boy," said another. "And it's not fair on him to have to put up with her mess. I would help her clear her room and then it's up to her to keep it tidy after that. I would do weekly checks to help her keep on top of it. But really you should be helping her keep it clean."
But, of course, some fellow parents empathised with the problem.
"You are not being unreasonable," chipped in one mum. "If I didnt have enough rooms for each child to have their own, then the child who most deserved it would be getting their own room not the one who was born first. I would be worried about making 7 year old ds share with her though as hes probably happier sharing with his tidy brother and it wouldnt be fair for him to be punished."
In this case, then, the majority of people sided with the messy teen - but they also provided some solutions for the mother on how she could deal with the problem.
Take it from me, though, if you want to teach a teenager a lesson, there's one thing that's guaranteed to work: stop paying their phone bill until the place is clean. After all, what are they going to do in that gross room all day if they can't text their friends?
