How Do You Deal With Uninvited Guests?  | | There is a friend of mine who 'drops in" almost every day for coffee and small talk. I don't want to be rude to this person nor hurt their feelings, but it is getting on my nerves. I am a writer for a newspaper and I work from my home. I often have to rush to meet a deadline, and when this person drops in it unexpectedly, it is distracting. What should I do?

In the nicest way explain that during the visits, you loose time and it's affecting your work. If they are your friend, they will understand. Or the other option. Run out of coffee!

| | | 3. MusiclAngl (26) | 3 years ago | Maybe you need to clarify with this friend that even though you work from your home, it is still work and that it needs to be as uninterrupted as if you were at an office. That's just my initial thought. GL!

| | 4. Starline (339) | 3 years ago | I agree with the others, I always try to treat others like I would have liked to be treated. And I would have liked a friend to tell me if I was uninvited but in a nice way, you know jokingly.
