Those who show up at your front door with no warning

I find it very disrespectful when after giving those whom I would like to visit a call to be sure it's ok. To me it is that they do this to catch you off guard and to be nosey disrepecting your privacy . I wont answer the door if this is the case. How would you take this and what would you do hide or answer the door?

A crazy cousin (of my late husband), and her son, turned up at 6:A.M. one morning, for a visit. They were just passing through and wanted to see us. As I was already sleep deprived from insomnia, and had only had about 2-hours sleep, I was livid – you don’t want to test me when I’m this tired. My husband had just made them coffee, and I stormed into the kitchen like a banshee, asking what the hell they thought they were doing paying a visit at this time of day? I told them to go, and they did, but not before hitting us up for gas money, which they’d done once before while they were passing through. I felt sorry for the teenage boy because he’d had a rough life with his crazy mother, but I was so angry with her that I couldn’t see straight.

The only people that just show up to my door are Jehovah's Witnesses.

Depends. The other night it was a friend on a relapse. Open door obviously. He slept the night in the spare room. I called his wife to let her know where he was but she wasn't bothered sadly.

I will always open my door . Whether or not they stay long depends on them .

@MethDozer I have had friends who felt they were in a jam and needed my help come by before . If it’s late , I feed them and put them in the guest bed room ... clearer thinking always takes place in the morning

@TexChik yep, or they just happen to be in the area when they live miles away.

Jokes on them I don’t open my door unless I’m entering or exiting

I'm the opposite honestly. My friends and family don't need to make appointments with me. If you're in the area then stop by. That's what being welcomed means.
