It wasn't like I just showed up and they had no idea I was going to be there. They knew well in advance I was coming. Now I will admit it probably was on me for not talking to them about sleeping arrangements and assuming it was taken care of, however, I still think assuming someone will sleep in their car is a bit unreasonable.
I did not just show up and catch them off guard. These were not strangers. In fact, I've known them almost 25 years.
This reminds me a bit of the time when 3 of us went to visit a friend in another state a few years ago, and the friend didn't allow anyone to sleep on her couch. I was assigned a room, another was assigned a room, and the third had to sleep with our friend, which did NOT make her happy (it would have pissed me off, too). She wanted to sleep on the couch, and it got pretty ugly.
To me, couches are always an option when someone needs to crash. Ain't no way in HELL that I would consider making someone sleep in the same bed with me with a couch available. But.....

But they did not invite you. Whether or not they knew you were coming is moot.
I have friends I've known for years that are not invited to my home. If they show up on my doorstep they will be told to leave, and the person who invited them to come to my home is no longer welcome, either.
At any rate, they pretty much told you through their actions that you aren't welcome there, so at least now you know not to ever go there again, no matter who invites you.

So are you still friends with these friends who are not welcome at your home? And as I've pointed out on a few posts I don't plan on going there again, so that is a moot point.

It is their home not yours. They make the rules. I would have sent you to a motel.

No. There was a good reason they weren't welcome at my house (because they were lousy, sloppy drunks). That's not to say you are, I'm just saying there's not too many people I don't have at my home, so no point in remaining friends with someone I have no respect for.
And if someone treated me in the same manner as they did you, I wouldn't be friends with them anymore. Nobody got time for that mess

Rude and bizarre. I'm surprised you stayed -- I would not have been such a good sport. Honestly, as hosts, they truly, truly suck!
