Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Somewhere on Youtube is some audio of an interview with John Lennon just before he died. He was talking about how Paul just turned up out of the blue unannounced at his and Yoko's New York Dekota apartment one day with a guitar which he said irked him very much. This event was the final time John and Paul were together before John died which is quite sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrejuan Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 OK, I am with the OP on this. But...... there are three (and only three) people who I don't mind just "dropping in" anytime. Two have been best mates all my life, others are ex next door neighbours who were always popping in before they moved so we are used to it. Everyone else should ring or text first like I do.

Minimo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I do as taxman does. I let nobody in that I am not expecting, especially at night. My neighbour was forever buzzing me because she forgot her key, I was fed up with it. Even family always let me know they are coming round. I wouldn't do it with others and expect the same courtesy in return. BF, hide behind the sofa when the doorbell goes. Or alternatively, open the door wearing outdoor things and say you are just on your way out, and would they please let you know next time so you can be in.

Moonbird Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Its rude not to tell someone that you're calling round in my opinion, I wouldn't do it and don't like it either, I only answer the door if I want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Lock your door if you don't want people popping in at random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw47 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I know a couple who have an even worse situation. On reasonably regular intervals over many years the two siblings of one of them turn up unannounced and expect to stay overnight and sometimes for a couple of days. As both siblings live over a hundred miles away they find it difficult to say no. My advice was to keep a suitcase packed with overnight requirements and the next time it happens say ' Oh that's a shame, we are just about to leave for a couple of days away! We wish you'd let us know you were coming! Then leave and stay overnight with us at the other end of town. Might work, on the other hand they might say ' Oh that's OK, leave us your keys and we'll look after ourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 When is it ok to 'pop in' on someone unannounced? I don't even do it to my mother fgs, so why do folks think it's ok to do it to me (Jamaica's answer to Victor Meldrew) I'm beginning to feel like a victim the JW's are trying to convert and a pretty miserable one at that... In 30 to 40 years time they may bring in a law that that calls it Indecently Visited, so start documenting times, names etc and if any become celebrities you maybe on for a large payout.
