A friend you haven't seen in months shows up at your door and expects you to drop eveything and go somewhere with her?
A person I haven't heard from in almost a year came by yesterday. They didn't call to let me know they were coming. I didn't answer the door, because she has done the sam thing many times over the years we were friends. She'd show up, and I'd have to drop everything to go with her. Should I have opened the door? I feel guilty about it, but she won't take no for an answer, and I didn't want to go anywhere with her.

Do I ever hate it!!! It would make more sense for a person to call so you know they were coming. I probably would have opened the door but told her that I was not able to go with her. I would have probably given a fake reason but I would have talked to her. If it someone who won't take no for an answer, then you probably did the right thing. People like that should not be allowed to harass people in that manner.

This is just my opinion so please don't take it wrong. You call this person "friend". Yet, your actions and words here indicate otherwise. My suggestion is, you should have opened the door and simply told them, "I haven't heard from you in almost a year, and here you are. Well, I'm sorry, I have other things to do." You also might want to let this person know that the friendship has faded and that you have moved on.

It is entirely upto you. If you did not feel like responding to her, fine! no problem. In my opinion, you did the right thing, when someone did not remain in touch with you...it means she was not interested in continuing relationship with you. Surfacing suddently and then asking for help or something like that is not appreciable.
