Full disclosure, we've never uses Airbnb...and up until now, I've had nothing against it.  That being said, it is now PERMANENTLY on the "Will Never Do" list.

Georgia resident Dave Jacobs and his family were staying at an Airbnb rental home when they first spotted the real-life alligator in a nearby lake. The gator must have taken a liking to the family, because the following day, they found the same alligator in their swimming pool -- lounging atop its inflatable doppelganger.

After attempts to coax the creature away from its newfound friend failed, the owner of the property called in a wrangler, who managed to separate the two gators and get the real one back to its home.

"I guess it's not that unusual, but it was unusual to me," Jacobs says.

Yeah, NEVER
