Hi, those are funny lists - I got lured back into the CC even if I'm not hosting at the moment (but actively looking for my future house which will have guests again)
We left a computer to use since about 2004 (before airbnb),
my husband would happily buy every kitchen implement anyone could think off but for a microwave,. Still, the desperate look of a young women discovering the holiday would include 2 more kids from her partner's first relation broke his resolution of "No microwave in my kitchen!",
we got a lot of baby equipment in our no infants listing,
the barbecue was usually well hidden to avoid the house burning down
we refused a gymnastics mat ("no sports" hosts)
and the blowtorch for the crème brulée. My husband was tempted at this request, but the fire risk seemed imminent if you leave that for guests.
Some people asked for special pillows - I understand forms, fillings and softness but there was a request for a different pattern (the pillow was supposed to be in a pillowcase anyway)
One request for a round bucket, as a square one would not do for wiping the floor immediately after arrival. (after the cleaner passed)
Ginger tea for breakfast - I added that and still buy it now and then
All kinds of strange dietary requests for breakfast - gluten free, soy milk, mate tea, spirula powder ... if it seems probable that I'd like sharing it, I'd try it, but none of those passed that test. Guests brought their own - no, thanks, still not sampling fluorescent green blue stuff at breakfast.
