He Invited Friends Over For Dinner Last Week But Asked Them To Leave After Realizing They’d Brought Bed Bugs Into His Home
About once or twice a week, this man and his wife have friends over to their house for dinner.
Last week, two of his friends, who are a couple, came over for dinner at 5 p.m.
They all just talked and relaxed for an hour while dinner was in the oven.
While they were hanging out in the living room, he saw something crawling on the couch that his two friends were sitting on.
Right away, he pointed it out, got up, and told them he wanted to see what it was because it was difficult to tell.
His friends moved out of the way, and after he looked, he quickly discovered that what he’d seen were two bedbugs.
“Bedbugs are one of my worst fears. I own my house, and it terrifies me to even contemplate an infestation of them in my home,” he said.
Right away, he apologized and told his friends that he needed to cancel their dinner plans.
When he said this, one of his friends, Susan, told him she didn’t see it as a big problem.

“She said that it’s just a bug and that it wasn’t even certain it came from them,” he explained.
However, he never insinuated that his friends were the ones who brought in the bedbugs, but he was quite certain that they were the culprits.
Not long ago, his friends had been in London, where there’s recently been a citywide bedbug infestation.
During this, his wife piped up and told him she didn’t think it was a huge deal, and she added that they should be able to eat before leaving.
“I understand she was trying to save face and be a good host, but I absolutely put my foot down and told them that we won’t be having any food and that I would be happy to pack some of the already cooked foods (sides) and they can take that away, but I’m going to have to spend the rest of the night going absolutely clean crazy on the living room,” he shared.
In order to prevent a potential infestation, he’s also going to clean other areas of the house to be safe.
His two friends eventually left the house, but as they were leaving, they told him he was being overdramatic.
Once they were gone, his wife told him that he’d been impolite, but he didn’t agree.
He is almost positive that his two friends brought bedbugs into his house.
In his view, this makes his friends the impolite ones.
In the week since his friends came over, he’s done one deep clean of the house, as well as several other smaller cleanings here and there.
Luckily, he hasn’t seen any other bedbugs besides the original two that he saw when his friends were at his house.
Also, he hasn’t seen any indication of bedbug droppings at all in the house.
What would you have done if you were in his shoes?
