Sometimes we have uninvited or unexpected guests, when we have planned for a shopping or outing. Sometimes we are excited, there are times when we feel upset by their sudden visit. We may be in a position neither to entertain them nor be free forgetting or canceling our outing totally. I have faced this situation many a times as people sometimes think it is too formal to make a call before their visit, but it is a good habit according to me as it does not hinder our program if any, nor theirs. So have you faced situations like this? What is your opinion about sudden visits made by friends or relatives? How do you tackle the situation?

oh yes i get so upset when i don't find the pair of jeans or shoes are not there, because it is really hard to find or when they are sold out . Sometimes i felt so bad because i was dreaming to have these new jeans or shoes , or bag or I have to see what is there , its pretty sad when i don't buy what i want.

ya i will be upset if my shopping or outing plan gets cancelled . i would have planned for a lot of things during the outing for the few days and if it all gets cancelled all on a sudden it would be a heart breaking thing . me and my friends would be planning for a day out and most of the times it would cancelled since some of them would be having any other plans or we may have something important in our college on that day. it will surely cause disappointment.

things like things spoil my mood. not only shopping, i don't even like my chores being interrupted by anything. sudden visit is surprising . but i thing the person should give a call for the sake of it atleast before an hour.

Yes, it depends on how important is my shopping/outing. If i need to go shopping for my urgent household need product, of course i will feel upset. But, i will not complain or show my anger to my uninvited guests or relatives. I will still entertain them like usual. After they have left, then i will go shopping for my needed product. Well, i think sometimes, it's unavoidable when this kind of situation do happened in our daily life. The best way is, try to tolerate and re-arrange our shopping trip or outing, so we won't feel angry about it.
