Guys, seriously. There's more than one person on DCUM who capitalizes for emphasis. I do it too sometimes, especially on a phone.

Our houseguest is eating us out of house and home and described how a teenage guest was eating all the food for everyone and not helping, etc. but left out the part about it being an obese third tier friend who hogs seashells and sunscreen, I am sure OP would have gotten a lot more sympathy. There still would have been some suggestions to grow a backbone or not be cheap and buy enough food for guests but many more would have been on her side.

I thought about trying to start a new thread with a description kind of like this just to see, but I knew everyone would see right through it. Already loving the thread about the teenage guest whose host is throwing shade.

DP, Ooh no, the sunscreen and shells are what set my teeth on edge. Why should she leave that out? It sets the scene for Augustus Gloop. And why are you defending him? He is an adult. He doesn't know about this thread or how op feels. This will all be a nonevent for him. A glorious, tummy filling, relaxing, nonevent.

I don't know why you think he doesn't know. Subtlety does not seen to be the OP's thing. I am 100% sure he overheard her talking shit about him to her husband, daughters and anyone else who had a spare ear.

People don't you realize the whole point of venting to DCUM is specifically because you are NOT saying these things to the person in question? I took the kid on an all expenses paid free vacation. He was able to laze about and eat to his heart's content and aaynshit like "I still regret jumping in that cold water" and whine about our provided breakfast options and I just smiled and grit my teeth and then bitched on DCUM via my phone. I would never be rude to a guest of my family or embaraaa my son by treating his friend badly. The kid sucked but there's no way he knows I thought it. It would require self awareness that ANYTHING he did, from asking me to buy his toiletries to eating all the food to being an ass to my son to filching kids' seashells, was not polite. He doesn't have it. He was utterly happily oblivious to what a pain in the ass he was. ONLY YOU GUYS KNOW. And my husband because I angrily texted him when Lenny stole the community appetizer dipping sauce for himself

“Stole” a dipping sauce? You’re perception is so warped that this kid could do nothing wrong. You were constantly looking for fault - waiting to pounce and be annoyed at him for anything.

Presumably he didn’t have a car - so asking you to get the toiletries is fine. You should have asked him for the money if it bothered you so much.

You’re cheap and petty.

Yes we ordered an appetizer for the TABLE. It came with a cup of sauce. He pulled it over to himself, parked it under his face, and dipped every bite of his appetizer into it while eating it dripping over the sauce cup. Didn't even ask if anybody wanted any, didn't pour some on his plate, just snatched and hoovered.

I HAVE a 19 year old son, I know a boy appetite. This was not that. It was just bottomless eating. And damn, I didn't Ration food or else he couldn't have possibly eaten everything the way he did. Also, I could afford to have another meal added on every dinner out. The point is, being ABLE to afford for this kid to order the most expensive special every time we go out and WANTING to spend my money that way are two totally different things. I'm supposed to be happy a kid who wouldn't even stop playing Fortnite at the table ordered something twice as expensive as everyone else each and every time we went out?

When we went out and all ordered reasonable $20 shrimp baskets and he tried to get the filet like no. Who the hell does that? (And before someone calls me weak, yes we told him that one was not gonna happen, nor was ordering his own special pasta dish when we ordered multiple pizzas for the group.) He didn't thank us for ONE SINGLE thing on this trip, had a poor attitude, was lazy, and just an awful houseguest.

And he and my son had my son's car specifically so they could go do things without us. He was fully capable of buying his own damn chapstick or getting his own breakfast if he didn't like that we only had cereal. he was just rude and entitled the entire week in every possible way. The way this thread continues to try to argue that anyone who invites anyone anywhere is supposed to eat shit and grin no matter how bad the behavior is is so weird!

This was largely your fault. We had friends come with us on our summer beach trip this year. Before you even leave for dinner out (on his pasta night) you should have said, “we will be getting 3 pizzas. You boys can decide on two with two toppings or, if you can’t decide, we will get cheese.” Before the shrimp bowl night or at the shrimp bowl night you say, “find something $20 or less before the waiter comes.” He “steals the sauce” - order another when the waiter comes and the next night out order two as you place the order. You didn’t like feeling taken advantage of but you were wimpy about staying your rules.

So...presumably you’re the crazy person who posted a bunch of times at 3 in the morning re: OP’s capitalization?

I am OP and I took so much crap on this thread. Nobody could fully decide if I was rich and cheap or too poor to vacation or if I was a pushover who wouldn't speak up or a Trunchbull who beat my guest and rationed his food or what. It was hilarious and I owned up every time I posted that it was me so I have no idea why anyone thinks I would have needed to sock puppet myself. I also still can't believe this thread won't die, vacation from hell ended last month!

OP, if it makes you feel better, I think many of us were completely entertained by this thread. And while your vacation sucked, I’m sure it will a great family story in the future.

No, dear. We can definitely fully decide what kind of person you are.

It's definitely a great story. The kind of story a person would tell thinking the point is to show what a great person they are and hope to get a few laughs but in reality the audience just mentally filed you away into the "garbage person" drawer.

Absolutely nobody posts to dcum expecting to be told they're great, what are you smoking? It's well known that all OPs immediately become garbage people upon posting their complaint or query. This place is Shroedinger's message board. Until you post it you're just a common person with a common problem but as soon as you post it for response you're a monster.

I'm pretty sure OP thought she was going to get sympathy. Unfortunately for her, she underestimated the backlash she would get for calling her 19 year old invited guest a disgusting glutton. She also underestimated how cheap she would come across complaining about the guest finishing a partiality used container of sunscreen.
