Krip 2 #1 July 4, 2011 Hi Guy's and Gals, We all had house guests that were enjoyble to have around, extended their stay, and we we were sorry to see them leaveOTOH we've all had the house guest from hell. I think I MAY have survived the what I consider to be worst house guest I ever had. Or a lot of other folks ever had. But maybe I just have unrealistic expectations about whatis bare minimum acceptable behavoir from a mature adult house guest is. (spelling isn't one of them) Anyone care to share the behavior they used to award the title "The worst house guest ever" and what have you done to insure that it will never be repeated.One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaH 0 #3 July 4, 2011 I let a so called 'friend' who was down on their luck stay with me for a few weeks. Found out they were selling drugs and people were in and out all day while I was at work. I turned them in. It was for the best. Her life turned around. As far as it not being repeated, you can't save a drug addict. I won't try again. Be yourself!

At least her friend had a excuse she was a drug addict!!!!. See VB's family reunion rant. IMO My wifes family turkey dinner far exceeded VB horror story. So before your pop corn gets cold see VB thread and my post.

nigel99 143 #6 July 4, 2011 My father probably rates towards the top of the list. In fact a few relatives won't let him stay. He smokes and used to "sneak" smoking indoors. He also has a bad leg from a car accident so he doesn't like walking. Once he left my wife found a bucket full of piss in the bedroom that he had been using at night and hadn't bothered to empty.

Nataly 38 #10 July 4, 2011 I don't have any horror stories...

Snowwhite 0 #11 July 5, 2011 I"ve had extended house guests, some lasted 5 years, I've hosted (literally) THOUSANDS of skydivers. But the worst ever was a lazy, no good worthless nephew, who lived in my house for 5 months. Refused to work, ran up my phone bill, drank a 30 year collection of various boozes, stole cash, smoked indoors when asked not to, and told me I "worked like a NIG%#$" and that he never intended to work that hard. I told him that he was evicted, and when he whined that he had no place to go, I told him that after he spent several months under a bridge, he may learn what our hard work had provided for him. He asked me to be 'friends' on FB. DELETE!skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew this one guy with a beard that tries to get me to go suck toes at boogies. Hi Mr Turtle I may be a one jump wonder so this isn't my first rodeo. Are you saying that this was actually a old school jumper tradition, that has been kept a secret all those yr's for some unknown reason.Or did this rumored dude with a beard just try to BS's you into doing something that had never been done before while you were distracted?But just in case the rumored bearded dude really exists and caught you in a druken moment and you actually did suck a finger, thumb or toe. I have a couple of questions to askLawyer hat. (Joke) please don't sue me for joking without a law degree.Mr Turtle: let me remind you your under oath1)Did you suck any toes Strike that your honor.1) How many feet did you suck. More than 20 or less.? All that takes is a more or less answer.2) On a scale of 9 to 10 how would you rate your fun factor from this rumored sucking toes/feet event. 3) Did you ever get a complaint from a unhappy foot? Yes or No. 4)How many cigs Did you and the foot share after the alleged perverted discusting sick act? More or less than 5?. A simple one word answer is all thats requried more or less the court is waiting,5) How many times did you contract ft and mouth disease, athlete's ft/mouth from this rumored event. More or less than 10? A simple one word answer is or thats required In the spirit of cooperation and full disclosure: Beware another one jump tandem skydiver may read this and do something that is just rumor or a joke, or a real jumper tradition. You are a adult and should do due dilengence to find out the sraight scoop.Warning: This type of behavior may compose significant health risks, to the sucker or foot that makes jumping out of a perfectly good/bad airplane look like childs play. Read the waiver sucking toes feet or other body parts is at your own riskOTOH google is your friendOne Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ECVZZ 0 #13 July 5, 2011 Brother in-law (at the time). A divorce settled the issue nicely. The BIL by no means caused the divorce (a drug addiction on her part closed out that 15 year chapter of my life...by my choice), it just happened that no longer having to tolerate his infantile behavior, while also supporting him financially was a rather nice by-product of the divorce.
