I just ran across this article, and am completely flabbergasted that this kind of behavior actually happens:

I've hosted a few small get togethers in my time, but if ever I need/expect my guests to bring something, I let them know well in advance. Usually it would only be beverages (beer, wine, bottle of choice), not because I'm cheap, but because a good number of my friends that I invite like to put down a few drinks (myself included, but I always make sure I have booze for myself).
Has any garbage like this ever happened to other monkies? How did you handle it?
