showing up unannounced

do you think it's rude when people show up at your door without calling ahead? i've always thought it's rude as hell, and i'm wondering if i'm just making up social rules or if other people think that way too.

ever since i moved back to my hometown, my mom has been doing this to me constantly, even though i've specifically told her i would prefer her to call ahead in the past. the last three times she showed up here, i was in mid-wank. and of course, she then acts like i'm being weird for not answering the door immediately after she knocks.

of course there's exceptions. the jehova's witnesses don't really bother me, since i can easily just not answer the door, and they're gone in a couple minutes. same with neighbors, since they're just a few feet away anyway and again, i can just not answer.

 

I absolutely agree with you on this one.

No sooner had the moving truck arrived in our driveway, the next door neighbor came over and insisted on helping us move our stuff into the house. Neighbor is an old dude, mind you, and I had visions of him falling off the ramp of the moving truck. Tried to tell him his help wasn't needed, but he wouldn't listen. Then I got the odd feeling like he was checking out our stuff. The whole experience kinda weirded me out.

And fuck...now he and his wife are inquiring as to what we're doing for Christmas Eve.

UGH. Some people cannot take the hint.

 

different people have different standards


unless you know that someone doesn't mind if you show up unannounced, it's fucking rude as hell.

it's basically saying that you have to drop everything you are doing to entertain this person cause they decided to drop by

I think that you may have to be more direct with your mom. instead of saying "prefer", you should say "you must arrange to come by ahead of time. if you make an unplanned visit, I will not answer the door, and also seek a restraining order" :sunny:

 

they may just be some friendly/lonely old folks

just make clear what your boundaries are, and they'll probably be ok

 

Well, some people do nothing with their time, and it really does not matter who pops in and when.
They are just doing the normal boring family thing.
Some people prefer their own company, and what comes with that i.e constant masturbating.
That is not normal, hence the outrage of being interrupted.
I prefer three days notice.

 

It depends on the relationship, and if they've asked you to call or not, and a host of other things, like time of day.

Generally close friends or strangers need not call, but it's common courtesy if you only sort of know someone but actually plan to be in their house and all, to call or text to make sure it's cool.

 

I think it's rude.

 

All depends on the situation...

 

I don't really mind that much if friends stop by. It can be annoying if I'm in the middle of something but I'm usually happy to see my friends.

Family is another story. Family always needs to call.

 

When do strangers become somebody you sort of know, and what's the difference?

 

People annoy me.

 

:iagree:

 

This Happened To Me Yesterday And I'm Very

Angry About It....

A Real Estate Guy Has Been Phoneing Me On A Regular Basis Claiming He

Has A Keen Buyer For The Farm, And Wanted To Call Out And Introduce

Himself, Each Time I Declined Politely And Asked Him Not To Come Out,

And That I Would Call Ahead When I Was Ready And Meet Him In His

Office.

So Come Yesterday I'm Sitting In The Garden Eating A Lunch Of KFC

And A Glass Of Red, Fortunatly I Had Some Clothes On, And In

He Drives.

Briefly Calls Out His Name And I Responded "I Asked You Politely 3

Times Not To Come Here And That I Would Contact You".

Didn't Faze Him In The Slightest.

So He Sits Down And Says "I See Your Having Lunch" *thank you captain

obvious*,An Hour Later, And With My Lunch Stone Cold, He Left.

To Make Matters Worse Some Foxes Had Trashed All My Newspapers The

Night Before And The Place Looked Like A Garbage Tip....

Tis Clear He Had No Intention Of Respecting My Wishes, And From Now

On I Have No Intention Of Respecting His.



Cheers Glen.

 

That Undies is a hardcore spanker.

 

Do you think he opens his door and shouts 'I'minmyunderwear :frown: '?

 

Wow, three paragraphs, I think thats an Undies record


tldnr

 

I prefer if people call.

Undies, next time answer the door with your wiener in your hand and yell "WHAT?!"

 

being assertive is a skill that you can learn

the first part is knowing that you have a right to express what you think and feel

the second part is knowing the particulars of your approach

one of my favorite phrases now is "let me interupt you".

if that doesn't work just flip the bird, or start yelling "fuck you"

if that doesn't work, you need to call the police, or maybe use some pepper spray on him

:sunny:

 

my previous record was 12 words.

i don't really masturbate constantly, just at all the wrong times apparently.





ok, it is pretty much constant.

 

This one was quite epic
