people arriving unannounced

I always hate that...

 

That really is one of my biggest pet peeves. My MIL has a habit of dropping by unannounced, especially at dinner time. How hard is it to pick up a phone and call first? I think it's just plain rude to drop by without letting someone know you're coming, just my honest opinion. I've even tried to set the example, hint in a subtle way by always making sure WE call first before coming over, but to no avail.

The crazy thing is, she made a comment to my SIL a while back how it really irritates her when people drop by and she isn't expecting them. Um, hello?!

 

Now that is just rude.

 

i dont' call. i just show up

 

Oh I hate that.
I hate it when my friends just show up and my room is a mess, I'm in my pyjamas and stuff like that.
How hard is it to pick up the phone ?

 

i know their class schedule and just go to their room before they get back

watch a movie or play a computer game

 

Well then its cool.
I mean if you know their schedule.

 

and i leave a bunch of stuff over there all the time - more reason to continue to keep going back

 

You're slowly takin over their territory.
A man with a plan !!!!

 

I really love it when people drop in unexpectidly...but I grew up in a small town and that's just how it always was...and like one of my happiest times was when I was livingg in South Afrika a couple years back and people would just walk in and sit down all the time,and everyone shared with eachother and were always present in your life... if you wanted to talk to someone you went to their house and knocked...I really liked that.

It's not so much like that now that I live in a city...but when people do it I always really appreciate it. yay for unexpected visits. ...I guess it sucks if it's people you don't want to see though...

 

we were joking about it last night - saying how i'm slowly moving in and the last straw for me would be if my friend found me sleeping in his bed during the day haha

i told him i'd bring over another mattress if i were going to sleep in the room

 

Lol.
You sound like a good friend to have.

 

he was playing WoW (world of warcraft) the other day when i showed up. i was bored. so i just harassed him the whole time - ending up going as far as telling him i created WoW. he was so annoyed

then we went drinking

 

Lol. I take back what I said about you being such a good friend.
You're evil !

 

i'm an awesome friend. he just kept dying and making excuses.

 

And thats you and your best friend in your sig pic ?

 

I tend to like my space a bit at home.
Sometimes its a nice surprise but I cant really say " bugger off Ive got a work deadline"
if its tricky.

If theyre pretty and Im home alone , then I tend to tolerate the inconvenience more...

 

it's really rude when they have friends of their own tagging along that you don't even know. people come to my house like it's this safe place to drink their booze. and I'M ALL FOR THE BOOZE, just not the company of these people i do not know or even like very much.
