I came home today to find that my guests had hidden a weeks worth of disgusting garbage in the back of the cupboard under the kitchen counter. It's something I'd of never thought to look for, if I hadn't had two guests in the past do the same thing. And it has me wondering what other strange behaviours you've seen in people that you would never think of? It can be funny, disgusting, irritating, or just plain old interesting.
To kick this off, I'm genuinely surprised at how many people share a bath towel with their significant other. I mean, I love my girlfriend, and we probably already share the same germs. But still, I like my own towel.
I've also had guests (on vacation) bring (and leave behind) their own pots and pans.
A germophobic doctor who wiped down the entire suite with a surgical disinfectant (and stained the bed sheets with it). I felt like I needed a Hazmat suit because of all the chemical cleaners he left behind. For a moment I considered the possibility that he had gone Full Dexter in my basement.
A woman on vacation from Ireland, who spent the entire two weeks indoors watching TV because she was afraid to drive on the wrong side of the road, and didn't want to take the bus.
I'm kinda surprised at how many men sit to pee. At least that's the only reason I can think of for the rim of the toilet being completely spotless upon departure.
Lastly, it's not so much a behavior, but I'm very surprised to see just how much hair women shed. Men don't seem to shed nearly as much, regardless hair length. Whereas women with both long and short hair seem to leave hair EVERYWHERE!! I often have to take a lint roller to the sheets AFTER I wash them, to get the hair out! I'm personally convinced that it's because women are far more likely to use harsh chemical hair dyes.
What say you? What strange behaviours have you observed.
