I'd be wondering where the sofa came from!

When my children were in their teens we would come down and find all sorts of bodies littered around the place. Always had supplies of bacon and eggs in the fridge for the weekend seemed to be the popular choice

Ask who the fork she was at first, what the hell she was doing in my house and take it from there. Hard to say what I'd do, until I knew the above.

You would hope so, or they may just dump her in a nearby bus lane and leave her.

I must be quite sick, as my first thought was Fred West 😀

First ask my husband why he hadn't noticed as that's where he tends to sit when he's home, then ask my nephew who lives with us who he had brought home and why he thought it appropriate to let her sleep on our sofa.

What would you do, given that she's a stranger, clearly drunk, lost and disorientated - Throw her in the street? call her a taxi etc, let her sleep off the booze with some supervision?”

Call the police and tell them you have an intruder, obviously.

Call the police. If there are no offences, just a confused drunk person, they can find out where they live and take them there (or arrange for a friend/relative to collect them). This happens all the time. They won't be arrested and people don't get taken to the cells to sleep it off anymore.

I'd keep her in my basement.

Leave the house immediately and call the police, taking a photograph first. I certainly wouldn't touch her or have a conversation with her.

She might have anything in mind, like accusing you of trying to kidnap/molest her, or whatever.

bit of a weird reversal going on in this thread.

i`m normally thought of [on here, not r/l] as a weirdo who`s scared of people and dare not open my front door etc, etc and i`m in the wouldn`t shit my pants and ring 999 from a distance in this thread.

Big difference. You're a woman, she's not going to accuse you of sexual assault.

It's not a question of being physically scared, it's more to do with lies being uttered by the person concerned and you being caught by apparent circumstantial evidence.

I wouldn't take any chances, being on my own. If I was part of a couple like in the video, it's a very different matter.

no, i get that it might make some men feel uncomfortable if they were alone in that respect [though to be fair, that`s no men that i know, they wouldn`t even think like that, their first thought would be to see is she ok] but it`s not all men answering here.

i just find it a curious switch is all and a bit of an eyeopener.

Why do people keep doing that? It can't be a mistake all the time. Happens too often.

I've asked a number of times, and on facebook where I've also seen it. I have yet to receive even an acknowledgement. Bizarre to say the least.

Let's put it like this - I would far far rather discover a random bloke asleep on my sofa, than a woman, especially a young woman - and I'm not gay. It's called self preservation.

I'd be a lot more comfortable with saying "eh, what's your game mate?" to a bloke.

In a different reality, there'd be no problem, but sadly we don't live in that type of world, unfortunately.

You shouldnt be engaging either. If they're asleep, phone the police regardless of their sex.

They've broken intro your house. What question is it you have for them?

I'd call the police and record the woman on my phone until they showed up, just in case I get falsely accused of something.

I would - I'm only saying that for comparative purposes. Either way, in reality, I'd not be engaging with them. But I'd feel far more comfortable with any potential outcome if it was a man I'd discovered.

Given its the US they could have a gun and decide to pull it with a very woolly head and things can go from bad to worse so you would be well advised to be very careful of what happens once the sleeping prince/princess awakens.

I wouldn't want her to see my face at all - supposing she'd deliberately taken GBH or whatever the hell that date rape drug is called, then said you'd forced her to take it? You'd be in a prison cell so fast, your feet woudn't touch the ground, as she'd be instantly believed over you.

If you can afford it, your best bet is to have CCTV all over the house. That doesn't lie, but would prove what did happen, and how the individual got into the house.

It sounded like she was saying, comped, not copped this house, as in what casinos do for high rollers, they "comp" their food, drinks, and accommodation.
It's short for complimentary, maybe she'd been in a situation, perhaps 'servicing' a few guys for drugs and/or alcohol and someone had said, "don't worry about going home, we'll comp you a house."
