What are gets you most annoyed when guests do?

Here are mine:
1) Show up much earlier then meal called for (shabbos morning or at candle lighting)

2) Show up with a bunch of other people who need a meal as well without asking before

3) ask to come for the meals and show up with a suitcase on erev shabbos

2)
It says somewhere that a guest is not allowed to bring another guest. Do people realize it's not ok? none of these are ok to do.

ask if they can come for a meal on shabbos but don't ask until 12:30 Friday afternoon, winter shabbos when I just came home from work and barely plan on cooking.

Don't offer to help, leave garbage in the room, show up right before shabbos, bring extra people to meals, don't tell you about food allergies or vegetarian stuff like that Can't Believe It

When they dont offer to help their messes. I’m scared what goes on in their houses. Eek.
I also get annoyed when they come for a Shobbos day meal exhausted like they just woke up five minutes before they come and when they aren’t hungry for the meal, after I planned snd cooked since I heard they were coming for the meal. And when they come for the night meal and they are yawning away by Shalom Aleichem. I get it, I know they might of had a long week or day, but still it’s unfair- in my opinion.

I have it when they take over my kitchen and insist on showing me all the things I do wrong when I prepare or serve.
Don't open my fridge to look for things that I didn't plan on serving!

Ask to come for shabbos, and assume my 'yes' means Thursday night, Saturday night and Sunday night too.

An entitled attitude.
I can forgive almost anything if they are apologetic and not demanding.

This happened one yr the last day of RH
A family of 8 so I cooked especially for them
I got worried so I called after YT was over
The wife apologized and said they were just tired and decided to stay home and rake it easy.

Guest that are supposed to come for shabbos, Arrive Friday morning and leave Sunday night because why not have a mini vacation? (Guests that don't live far.)
Guests that don't live far Arriving afew minutes to shabbos and wanting to shower them and all kids.
Eating in bedrooms.
Allowing kids to make a mess and destroy things.
Not intervening when their kids keep fighting and hurting my kids.
Sending their kids out of the room at 6 AM while parents sleep till 10.
Eating on the couch.
Letting kids jump on the couch.
