how do u feel when some guest comes without informing beforehand? do you feel irritated? or you feel happy? do you like having people at your house?
for me i get very irritated and tensed if someone comes to my house without calling and informing first. and if i have some prior plans made out, i feel very angered to have my plan dropped off.

Well I don't have that problem friends and family no they are not welcome at my house. My home is off limits, this is my sanctuary and I do not want to share it with anyone other than my children. I can see friends and family when I go outside, I don't need them at my house. There is no welcome mat at my front door.

Well it my seem that way but when you have people who do not want to respect your privacy and just drop over then you have to do something to stop the problem. I have learned you can not change anyone except yourself and I don't like to share my personal space and that is my choose, I open up myself to people at my discretion not theirs.

That is just plain rude to pop over like that. My friends and family know to call first and ask otherwise they can knock until their knuckles are black and blue I will not answer the door. I wouldn't do it to you - so don't do it to me.

The most sensible thing to do is call first and ask if the person can come over. That is common courtesy.

i think that it would be more sensible to open the door rather than getting hurt by knocking your knuckles black and blue:)

No one calls before coming to visit us and we don't mind this at all . We love to see when people come and this does not bother us at all . If we had plans and don't want to break them then we let whoever know that we are sorry but that we have to leave as we already had plans but if they want to come back at a later time that we will be home then .
Most of the people in the area that we live are all the same and no one calls ahead of time to make sure one is home or if it is ok , everyone kind of just stops in and if one is not doing anything then they will stay and visit otherwise they will keep on going somewhere else .

It always depends on who it is that is showing up unnanounced. If it is a good friend, I am always happy. If it is a person I have not seen in a long time, then I am quite happy to have them visit too. Even my family makes me happy when they arrive unnanounced. If it is someone, however, that I don't know, that is selling something, or that I really don't like as much as they think I do, then I try to find ways to get them to leave without being too mean. I have been known to ask them to leave anyway, and been honest by saying that I am in no mood to see them right now. That usually takes care of the problem.

I hate it when uninvited guests ,such as family or friends decide to just drop in when they feel like it. It ruins plans that my husband and I may have that day and it ruins our mood. Now if it's someone thats a stranger then I can understand that part, but a family member or friend, should at least call beforehand, but that never happens. It is quite annoying.
