“Make yourself at home” is a phrase we use every time we have guests over.
It’s lovely to have guests over and we try our best to be warm hosts for our guests. We would tell our guests phrases like “feel at home” so they don’t shy away and can enjoy to their fullest. Well, sometimes these words can make you regret and the other person takes them too literally and you end up regretting and crying. A Reddit user u/Mr_Yus_uwu asked a similar question “What was the worst thing your guest did when they took “Make yourself at home” very literally?”

We love having our guests over but that does not mean we are inviting them to stay with us for the rest of their lives. Some people are ridiculous and shameless. They would misuse your kindness and hospitality. If you will offer them a favor to stay with you for a week or so, they would literally plan to move in and a guest has done this to someone and they had to formally evict her. Some guests would ruin your house, use your personal things, invade your privacy, use your things without your permission and feel no shame for it.
