Uninvited Guest.

I would usually call and try to respectful on that and not be rude. If I know someone is coming, then yeah I can be more prepared. I usually like to know ahead of time if someone is coming personally but that's just me.

It depends on which friends or family! Most friends I don't mind if they just drop in - if they saw I was busy they would just arrange to come back another day! One friend has a habit of dropping in unannounced which I don't like as even if he sees it is a bad time, we are busy or tell him that we are getting ready to go out he just sits there and hardly even talks! If I am going to visit a friend or relative I would usually give them a quick phone first to make sure it is a good time! xxx

I agree I hate it when someone just shows up with no warning myself. I would rather have them call so I can be prepared and I know who it is espically if they stop by early in the morning.

I always make an appointment before I go to someone's house or I will call first to see if they are home. Sometimes I will stop by if there is no answer because they may be outside and do not hear the phone ring. I do not intentionally go to someone's house to stay though when I was not invited there. It irritates me too because I work online and I always want to make sure my house is clean and straight and everything is done. i also want to make sure I have a drink or something to offer them when they come. When someone shows up at my home and I do not know they are coming, it does make me feel like they are invading my space and privacy also. I always plan my days and alot of them are spent with my husband and my daughter.

We have an open door policy at anytime without advance notice. I have 4 kids so my house is very seldom in tip top shape for visitors and I feel if they don't like it then they don't have to come over. I have a sign on my livingroom wall: "My House Was Clean Last Week...Sorry You Missed It" I like the humor in it because sometimes it is true. It never fails though...if I spend all day cleaning and my house is in tip top shape, no one comes over! lol They always seem to come when it is a mess, but I don't care. We are happy here and that is all that matters!

Most of the time, I let them know I am coming. But sometimes we may just pop in. But I do not expect to be invited in their house etc. I normally try to make it a practice to let them know I am coming. As I know I am like you and I find it irritating sometimes when people drop in and my house is a wreck. It embarrasses me. But it never fails when my house is spotless no one drops in. LOL

Filipinos are known for their hospitality and as such visiting unannounced is not unheard of. Usually, we go out of our way to make guests welcome whatever time they happen to drop by, but of course it can be such a hassle especially when they come around mealtime and you are caught unprepared. Nevertheless, they are usually grateful for whatever is served them. For my part, I try to always inform the person I want to visit in advance to give them the opportunity to prepare or tell me off. It's basic courtesy.

Yes, I make it a point to take prior appointment with a friend or relative, if I have to visit him/her. I normally do not perefer going without information to anyone's house and expect the same from my relatives and friends.

That has happened to me alot of times. I like to call my family and friends and see if they are going to be home or going to be busy before I make plans to see them and when I have univited guest it's usually my nephew and his wife they come in a bad time like we were leaving or fixing something to eat and didn't have enough for them to eat and it looks like they will never leave don't get me wrong I love my nephew but gosh at least he could ave called or emailed me.

In my circle of r freinds a family it is acceptable to jsut show up or call 5 mins before you get there. We all respect meal times and will stay past tehm or show up when they are gettign ready to eat but other than that it is all open and it usually happend 3-4 times a week

I hate just showing up at my friends house. You never know if they are busy, or if they're home, or if your inconveniencing them. Id rather them just ask me ahead of time so I know when to be there and whatnot instead of just dropping by.

Normaly I call first to my friend whom I like to meet and then I go to him or her

I always want people to call me first then i can be ready when they come or perhaps I can ward them off if I am not going to be home and make a time for them to visit me.

Well, sometimes I feel that way but if I have not seen them for a long time and giving a notice is somewhat impossible because of some circumstances, I can consider it. But if they are doing it often, I would feel bad about it. You;re right sometimes our privacy is invaded and it will destroy our plans for the day.

I do like to call to see if they are home and if they are busy before I go. I appreciate it when they call me too because I hate getting caught in the middle of a chore or job and have to stop. It is so hard to get myself back into the work mode when they leave.

Yes I do, I used to call my friend or txt her if I want to visit her. Coz I want to make it sure If she is really there and can entertain me coz sometimes she is out or have also other guset to be entertain. I don't want also to be disturb if someone will visit me without any notice that they will visit me.

There is onece in day in my house Satyanarayanpuja held.I invite my friends to attend and come to my house. I call all they came I hardly glad .I gave themprashad and give dish also .

usually i'll make an appointment or call the person and get their green light first before visiting. because what if they are not home? or having other guests? or are busy with something? or maybe it's just not a good time for visiting. so i think it's better to check with the person first before visiting, because i certainly would want ppl to let me know beforehand when they're coming over.

Given the fact that we are already living in a modern world, there is no excuse anymore not to inform a friend ahead if you plan to drop by or visit. There's the fone & the mobile plus you can always SMS him/her ahead, even an hour or 30mins in advance. If you do so, at least you have given your friend a chance to wash her/his face, brush teeth or tidy up a little.

i usually make an appointment before i go to my friends' home,sometimes just drop by.but to me,it is ok.it is no big deal.
