Airbnb and a crazed host landed me in a police car once. My crime: having my girlfriend over, and being male. Airbnb offered me a 500 USD voucher, which barely covered the cost of my last minute Holiday Inn stay that I had to make to, well, not spend the night on the street after getting kicked out, and it's all water under the bridge now, but nightmare stories happen both ways.

        Can you give more context/information? I understand that he was fired for dropping the C bomb but couldn't find more from his twitter profile.

        People have been putting their feet in their mouths publicly long before the Internet.

      I tried once earlier, but the Captcha was too crazy. Seriously. It was insane. I couldn't do it. It does look a bit funny. I agree. I'm quite serious though. He said "Having my girlfriend over, and being male". It's a deep-rooted sexism issue. Having his girlfriend over without prior approval of there being two people could be the issue. But he states "and being male". Obviously that wouldn't be an issue, unless either his host went full retard (in which case no policecar would take him, I'm guessing) or he's using it as an excuse. Either way, it probably is the host forcing him+her out of the property because he didn't want his bedroom soiled or God offended under his/her roof or something. But for a BNB that previously consented it's pretty weird, to say the least. Would prefer if he just explained what happened instead of this interesting sounding story. I just thought it was funny that "being male" could be construed as "thus unable to control myself". And then it's really unfunny that it could be constructed that way. And that's sexism in a nutshell!
