Unexpected visitors

14 Mar 2009

Do you like people dropping by unannounced or are you like me and prefer a little notice that they're on their way? Do you drop by to see friends on the off chance?
I'm always happy to see friends and love it when they take time out to visit but I do prefer to know beforehand. I don't think it's unsociable or fussy to expect that but I'd hate to knock someone's door and find them up to their eyes in housework, decorating.....or bedroom activities wink

and them have to stop what they're doing just for me. If I'm in the area I may text or ring to check if it's ok to pop by though.
Anyhoo, I'd hate to answer the door to friends when I'm up to my elbows in dough or paint :shock:...or worst, my round-the-house sloppies :scared:

I'm suspicious when people just "drop by", I try not to do it either,

only people we would do that to is my parents as we dont like to say we will visit then are unable to show up so we tend to just suprise them.

I'm with Sassy on this one - I love having people to visit (as long as I'm not racing to a deadline or in the middle of something) but like at least a little bit of notice to clear up the chaos and get myself in the right frame of mind/dress!
Equally I'll almost never just drop in on someone - always text or ring first to check it's convenient, even if I'm nearby.

People are welcome to visit here, but please do tell me you are coming.
1. So I can make sure I / we are here
2. If you want feeding / tea/ coffee / milk/ beer / wine, I can make sure there is plenty of stuff in.
3. If you want to stay over I can make sure beds are available and made up/ junk is removed, or you can tent in the garden, please bring your own tent etc!!

I used to do that. When I moved into my flat I was a perfect example of house proud. Now I'm not so sharp at that! redface

But to be honest I don't mind if people drop by without warning... as long as it's not my mother! (That requires at least 30 minutes notice to lose the ciggie evidence and the pervy stuff!)
Most of my mates are happy to take me as they find me but the following rules must apply:
1. If you want a cuppa you need to bring milk, I don't touch the stuff. lol

2. If you care about dust... don't visit! :mrgreen:
3. If you drop by expecting a shag then you need to be prepared for fuzz. :rascal:
4. If you care about your health, don't come early on a weekend unless you have a huge cock that you're prepared to let me play with (then I'll forgive you). :thumbup:
Think that's about it! :mrgreen:

Why do the two words Sassy and sloppies in the same sentence seem to disturb my inner core? :undecided:

My house normally resembles a war zone so I prefer notice before visits even if I've only got time to chuck the washing up in the dishwasher any old how and just slam the door. I am usually presentable if only because I run a shop 7 days a week.
It reminds of the story my friend likes to relate: she was on her way back from uni for a surprise visit one weekend and rang her parents just before she got there. Her dad answered in a slightly breathless voice, "I'm afraid it's not convenient at the moment, can you go round the block a few times first?".
