In laws going through drawers

So we have been in a new house for a few days. Surprised the in laws - not just parents - gave us this much time to settle in given they arrived within an hour of returning home with DS - but they came over today en mass. Two hours and every drawer was opened in every room and a few comments were made all round about how they will use certain rooms when they are next over. They know I like my space so just announcing ‘I will do this’ seems to me a bit crass. However, i know I am pretty sensitive. Is it with cause or do I need to just get a grip?

I can't understand why some people think they have the right to snoop. Does their curiosity overwhelm them? Are they compelled by some elemental force? Anyway, its the reason MIL never gets invited to our home.

I once left this note in my desk drawer for a co-worker 'The next time I see you I will know by your face if you have violated my space and privacy to read this note'. She couldn't look me in the eye properly after that.
