My landlord shows up without letting me know he's coming and it annoys me because I have to go down the stairs to answer the door. If I'm not fast enough, he leaves. I keep asking him to call first but he's in his own world.

The only person who doesn't need to call in advance is my daughter.

Surely if you don't appreciate people dropping by, it is very simple...have a conversation with them and let them know. If they continue to go against your wishes, especially after making it clear a second time, that is disrespectful and they would not be allowed in unless they called first.

I have had to do this to a friend who turns up at odd hours. He assumed if I am home I was available for company. He now texts me or calls me first. He got the message.

Balles: It depends on who the person is to me.
thumbs up In my twenties and thirties, I had a nifty little basement apartment and many bohemian- type friends. They dropped by whenever, and it was cool with me for that 15 or so year period. (It always annoyed me that some of them would be disgruntled if I dropped in on them--I felt that if they wanted to enjoy such nonchalant behavior, it was my right, too). Anyhoooo--shifting to now, I usually do not like unannounced company, but there is always the occasional exception. Just my thoughts.....handshake

Bingo! But, let me ask you, do you really think that's cool? I mean, if you want the laissez-faire acceptance to show up at friends, isn't it reasonable to expect the same? If you really can't, then you should have a little conference, like, "Hey, Jack, I really like you, but let's agree to call ahead before showing up at each other's place."

My point is that it isn't fair to not tolerate (that annoying word!) what you WANT others to tolerate in YOU.

Customs in your country are different from the west.-Also in small places in my country, people don't make prior appointements.

Exactly the same here!! I grew up in a household with 8 siblings and people just came and went, friends of the kids just dropped in and there were always extra people for meals and even Christmas lunch.

When I was in my 20s and 30s....we would always just drop in and have a meal or stay the night...no problem. yes, I was a bit of a hippy child.

However, now I am older, and my health means I may have to nap and the house may be a nightmare.....I do prefer notice. Most people my age also have children and honestly, some of them i do NOT want dropping by unannounced.

I feel that it is actually rather rude to 'drop in' as people obviously have their own plans and it does say, rather resoundingly, 'I don't care what you had planned...I am here!' It is actually a sign of very selfish behaviour.

Sometimes I may be on the phone, I may have a call I want to make, I may be going out in a few minutes, I may have chores I have planned to do, I may have an appointment, I might just want an hour or so to myself to relax or read a book.

In short......people ARE welcome....with advance notice; and in that case I woould make the time to really focus on my visitors as I would be free.

My guys Uncle most of the time just drops in to visit family without prior notice.

In fact he stopped in last week cause he'd dropped his daughter off at the store to do some shopping.

He used to drop in at midnight.


If either of my friends or family ever did this to me I wouldn't be a happy camper.
