Do you guys like having unexpected visitors or not?
Jeremy & I hate having unexpected visitors at the door because we would be in the middle of something like an company over or out of the door to food shopping or whatever. We always told them to call first before visiting so we know what to expect and etc. What do you do about it in your situation?
 
If I were you and you already told them about it.. just don't answer the door. because you can tell them next time "If you didn't call us and we will not answer the door." Yeah.. sound harsh talk??
 
ugh I hate hate hate unexpected visitors. It ticks me off because I have two boys here, you know, house would get little messy and stuff like that. I like it when they let me know that they are coming so I can clean up around the house, just want to have clean house when people is here. you know? :roll:
 
it happen to me many times in the past but now anymore because i told them to call me or if they show up by unexpect as shut their face out as unwelcome in !! and if they countine do that by unexpect and told them that i am going to call cops on them so it work to scare them off and they start call me first ... what so wonderful thoughts lol
 
I consider any unexpected visit as offensive and rude because they get in my way while doing my own business.

I wish any Jehovah's Witness member to read those posts and understand how we feel!

I agree with you.. They do come to my house too sometimes on Saturdays or Sundays.. When they do.. I just do not answer the door.. let them knock all day if they want to heh.

Just tell them that you're a Druid and you worship trees. Then slam the door in their face. Trust me—they won’t bother you again.
 
I don't consider unexpected visits to be offensive nor rude, but sometimes they just pick the wrong time to visit.

It's important to practice on being a good host rather than being the kind that slam door into people's faces.
 
Unexpected the door visitors.. sometimes Made me feel turned it off fast.. Acting I'm pretend that Im sorry I have extremelly busy and really very soon running to go out errands.. They say ok.. will give us a call and to make arrangement next visit.. ahhh.. About the time..

But never did went out somewhere.. er um.. I LIED.. ha ha..

sometimes seriouis I have thingy errands do so... *zoom out* :wiggle:
 
well, I do think it is RUDE if they come visiting here unexpected, period. I prefer for them to let me know in ahead of time so I can see if I have any plans or whatever...let's say suppose I'm really sick that day or one or both of my kids are sick, or that day is my cleaning day- -- rather to be uninterrupted, so I can clean whole house, or I have errands to do like food shopping, appointments, etc...if they came and interrupted my plans what I was suppose to be doing that day, wasted my time or had to postpone/cancel it. That's something to think about. It just take a few minutes to call to ask if its ok for them to come here on whichever dates they want to come to visit us or email me! It's not that hard to do.

If I have someone who keeps come unexpected, I can be a big bitch. I have to let them know that I do not like it at all and let them know please let me know if you plan to drop by in ahead of time.

Then let them know what your preferences are instead of not telling them. If you get unexpected visitors, it's your fault for not letting them know. But if they fail to listen, then that is their problem, not yours.

Everybody has their own preferences and has no way of knowing what your preferences are.

Some people mind unexpected visitors, some doesn't.
 
errm...use common sense. I knew better and I always CALL and ask them if its ok if I can visit them FIRST before I come. No excuses about that. What if you drove for like 20,30 minutes and arrived someone's house and find that they aren't home? You just wasted driving up there for nothing. That's why it IS better to call first. :roll:
 
i agree with Heather 100%! i dont like anyone visit come here without me know... never know that my house is mess, or i busy, or mad make love to java :lick: !!! LOLz!!! WHO KNOW.. so i would like someone to call me, or pager let me know is ok that come here or what?? never know that i might have wrong time!!!! u know what i mean??

Wrong, it is your preference to make calls before making a visit. Common sense is not relevant in this case since it is a matter of a person's preference or how that person was brought up.

Not everybody was raised in the same manner nor taught the same customs. There are cultures that have such a strange way of greeting each other that you may find it offensive.

It is not the visitor's fault for not knowing your preferences, you should always declare your preferences to your friends and everybody else. You can not get mad at people for making choices that you disapprove of simply because you failed to remind them.

Supposedly a person in a different culture was taught to spit onto your forehead as a way of saying hello. Would you make an angry response or politely ask what that was about?

If you really expect other people to already know your rules when they haven't been informed on, then you are intolerant of other people's manners unless it meet your standards.

It is simply nonsense. To make a big fuss over unexpected visits is whining, nothing more.

Who in their right mind would make a long trip without making a call?

Only a naive person who would be willing to waste a lot of gas and time.
 
I know how you feel. I get unexpected visitors at my room sometimes. There have been times when I'm in the bathroom or in the shower. Someone will be knocking or ringing the doorbell. By the time I get out to answer the door, they are already gone. Argh!
 
Thats why I quitted living in the dorm. UGH Of course that years ago. heh

What if that was your mom? :eek2:

Did you tell Any Jehovah's witness you were not intersting?....then They shouldn't be coming back to your door steps...

I am always nice to anyone who comes to my doorstep...I simply just tell them ' I am not intersting but thanks for stopping by '.....And they dont bother me anymore :D .....
