I had a guest invite me to go out for dinner. I thought it was quite unusual since some guests often make comments like, "You are beautiful! If you're alone, come to see me." This made me nervous. Despite that, the guest stayed at your house. After introducing everything around the house, I usually leave and return to my home. If there are any questions during their stay, they typically ask online or make a phone call, continuing until the stay is finished.

Where do we start @Sophia
Probably the weirdest one was to say they were using my address to open a Bank account, after the fact.

The most priceless incident would have to be a Guest been introduced to a Praying Mantis insect and having their photo taken with a wide open mouth pretending to eat it.

The craziest encounter, as in hilarious moment, I have had was coming home to a delicious meal a Guest who shall remain anonymous made for me and having to graciously eat it after I had already had an earlier dinner and then dinner with friends before eating the meal my Guest had made.

Yes you read that right, 3 dinners in one night!!!

The Guest and I thought it was hilarious, alas the meal they made was irresistible and there's no way I would be so rude to decline a meal someone else had made for me besides it was a great way to bond and learn about themselves and country.
