My partner's uninvited guest has turned up 5 hours early...

My partner is involved in organising an event tomorrow and was cornered into offering a bed tonight for a person who's coming fro a distance. He doesn't know this guy. There have been a number of increasingly infuriating phone calls about arrival times etc. This bloke seems chaotic and doesn't seem to be able to manage directions. I've been really, really busy for the last week and a guest was the last thing I needed. I insisted that this man doesn't arrive before my partner is home from work at 7pm, by which time I will (probably) have finished what I need to do and be in a fit state to host.

The guy has just phoned to say he's a few minutes from our home. He phoned my partner and my partner told him he can come straight here. I'm right in the middle of my work, I haven't had a shower this morning and the breakfast things are still all over the kitchen. I'm so angry with my partner. He's always doing things like this. This guy is going to arrive shortly, he's told me he hasn't had any lunch so presumably will expect me to make him a sandwich. Who the hell turns up five hours early? So bloody rude and entitled.

"Who the hell turns up five hours early? So bloody rude and entitled."

Someone who was told that it was ok. It's your boyfriend that needs telling.

Wow, who does this?

Take it up with your partner who told the man he could stay, and told him the time wasn't a problem.

Call the guy and tell him you are busy with work and unprepared for him showing up 5 hours early. He can go and have lunch and occupy himself until 7pm.

Let him drop bags then point him to nearest cafe?

Don’t answer the door? Pretend you’re out. Tel DH you’ve gone out for a bit.
