What’s the worst host you’ve ever had when renting a listing? Though traveling is one of the best things you can do in life, you can’t let your guard down. You’ve got to prioritize your safety, especially as a woman. You’d think that the people who rent out their homes on trusted platforms would be folks you can relax around. Unfortunately, some of these hosts are complete nightmares to deal with. For them, their guests are potential dates.

A young woman from England (u/jst4notherthrowaway), who traveled abroad with her friends, decided to stay at an Airbnb run by a man in his mid-30s. That turned out to be a massive mistake. The woman shared screenshots of the creepy comments he kept making, as he tried ‘flirting’ with her. Finally, having had enough, she decided to take drastic measures. However, she and her pals weren’t on the same page.

Scroll down for the full story and the internet’s advice. Bored Panda has reached out to the author for comment, and we’ll update the article as soon as we hear back from her.
