FFS what is wrong with some people!

[NickNacks]

Enjoying our first day in all the Christmas hustle and bustle at home in our PJs. I'm reading a book surrounded by chocs, dcs have trashed the room with getting new toys out.

Door bell rings, we're not expecting anyone and we're not really dressed to receive to guests so we just ignored it.

Next thing I know DH friend (not a current best mate but has known him since a kid and lives very local) has his face pressed against the window looking in!!!!

Did he not get the fucking hint to go away?

DH has had to answer now and let him into the dining room while I've shut the sitting room door as I'm in my pjs. No way of getting dressed without going past them. He's droning on and on whilst DH keeps trying to wrap things up and this bloke is still going strong with inane boring antidotes about his life since we last saw him.

Get the fucking hint and don't stand in our flower beds to peer into our house. It's rude.

And yes I am a miserable bitch in case that needed clearing up

YANBU I also hate the people that look through my letter box! If Im not in, then looking through wont make me appear! I hate people who just wont take the hint!

Bless him, face pressed against the window. He must be 6 years old really like your DH.

Sorry your jammie day got spoilt though. Nowt worse than hoping for a relaxing day of nothing and someone turning up to see you in your jammies and bed socks. You should have just shouted "NOROVIRUS! RUN!" At him when he peered in.

I am also a miserable bitch.

Oh dear, that is rude. Will your DH tell him that he has to get back to PJ day so he has to leave, or will he remain politely chatting forever?

Nightmare! Poor you.

I am also a miserable bitch
On Xmas Day, my DM's friend down the road's sister and nephew (who I have never met before) turned up at DM's house, because they couldn't get an answer at the friend's. And proceeded to yadda on at great volume DURING DR WHO (Which DS and DD and I had been looking forward to for weeks).
YANBU

How rude.

I hate unexpected guests. HATE THEM. Even the people I really like have to phone and make an appointment.

Thanks for reminding me to buy heavy net curtains! We live down a track with no neighbours and you'd be surprised how many people just walk around the back of our house and peer in.
I might put a Rottweiler on my shopping list too!

Sounds like my ex mil. If there was no answer at the door, she would look in the window, and shout through the letter box "Dp's name, dp's name!" . It just really didn't occur to her that there might be any reason why we were in, but didn't want to answer the door (she had obviously never shagged on the living room floor )

Well, Christmas is about spending time with friends and family in my book.

Has he done this before? Maybe he's really lonely?!

YANBU.
Turning up unexpected should be against the law as far as I'm concerned.
It's a hanging offence at the very least.

Aww. I bet he's a lonely sort.

Poor chap.

People go round the back and look for us if we don't answer the door. Family and close friends will open the door and let themselves in. Tbh I don't mind it with them, but people I don't know well or don't like much can piss off.

YANBU. I'm a great fan of open door hospitality but who turns up unannounced on the day after Boxing Day? You just don't! As for peering through the windows, is he some sort of Victorian orphan?

YANBU. I hate 'droppers in'. I am a Londoner. We don't do dropping in. Tis weird.

DS2 swears he told me his friend was coming round today. I have a dreadful memory, but I do usually remember once someone/something reminds me, such as, to take a random example, young men turning up on the doorstep when I've decide to bum around in me nightie this morning

He is lonely I think and this does make me feel a teeny tiny bit mean.

DH got rid of him in the end by pointing out its our wedding anniversary and arranged to meet for a pint tomorrow.

I agree Christmas is for family and friends which is why we've spent the last two days out visiting and celebrating. But today we wanted to relax and recharge our batteries.

I wouldn't turn up at my friends house unannounced today and peer through their window. What if they were sitting there in their undercrackers or having wild, passionate sex on the floor?

YANBU This is the reason I have blinds so people can't peer in.

Oh MerlyStrop I'm afraid I'd have shoved them out of the house by their scruffy necks. NO ONE will intervene with my Doctor Who watching at any time. In fact I abandoned all present opening and legged it (taking so bloody long!) into the living room to watch it.

Also op yanbu because I utterly hate people who turn up unannounced more than anything in this earth. Especially this time if year!

I hate it too. Im friendly but not socialble, in fact DC and I are quite reclusive...hard when you live in the middle of a busy road....and if anyone comes they have to 'make an appointment' sounds horrible but i wouldnt do that to anyone, just turn up.

we just hide and i make up its a game with DC in fact we get quite frightened if someone knocks unexpectedly, even the postman delivering parcels!!!!
