A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am really annoyed with my work colleagues!

Last week we organised a work night out and because I live closest to where the location was we were going 5 of the girls I work with (we are also mates) came to get ready at my house.

I gave them my guest room to get ready in which is very spacey and has an ensuit and I even bought in drinks and snacks for them whilst they got ready.

The next morning- (none of them stayed over,they got taxis to their own houses) I went in to the spare room to tidy up and I couldn't believe the mess I found! 1 of them decided to take a bath and left a soaking towel on the floor! There was drink spilt on the dressing table, crumbs on the floor, somone spilt their make up on a pillowcase... The list goes on.

I really felt this was direspectful as I would NEVER leave anyones house in that state. They couldn't even put their dirty tissues in the bin!

When I went to work Monday I felt awkward bringing it up so I tried to make a joke about it saying that it seemed like I had children staying in the room because of the mess and spillage. Well they all found it funny! So I then said I expected more from adults and that it wasn't that funny. They just went in to an awkward silence and not 1 of them apologised!

I mean they are adults aged between 22 - 30, there's no excuse and they weren't drunk either. I will never invite them over again. Am I over exaggerating???

Hi poster! No, I don't think you are harsh atall! They were in the wrong! This is the behaviour u expect from children not adults! Obviously they have little respect for you & your home. No one with any class would leave such a mess.

What is most appalling is that they didn't apologise! If you hadn't said anything to them then fair enough they would be none the wiser but seeing as you did& they showed no remorse is disgusting.

Next time you arrange a night out don't ask them over, they can mess up somone elses house!

Totally disagree with talking helps! If they are adults they DONT need supervising!!! Doh!! Who the he'll supervises their guests anyway??!

Poster what they did was out if order! You opened up your home to them& they showed nothing but disrespect. I'd it was me I would have left the mess & asked them to clean it up! Seriously though were they raised by wolves???

Don't have them over again & if you go to their house leave mess to! That will teach them!

You should have supervised them in your room, I mean what kind of host leaves their guests to act on impulse, a bad one.
