Popping round (lighthearted)

I do not like people popping in. I have seen other threads where mumsnetter's have said this and then been told they are unreasonable.

Also there was a recent thread where the OP entertained a 'popper round' on her drive when this happened, which seemed a bit extreme but, in a fantastically odd way, quite reasonable.

What say you?

@CherryPavlova where I live, if a randomer pops around to your door asking for help, they're trying to rob you.

I hate it. My FIL does it all the time, usually at either 9am on a Sunday or any night any time between 5 and 6 - the most inconvenient of times!

My dad likes to pop in. Sunday morning when we're having a lazy breakfast in our jammies, after school when trying to get back out the door for football etc, teatime, when we have friends round etc etc. There's no pattern at all and he has the hide off a rhino when it comes to ignoring hints to leave. I say to DH that I wouldn't mind him popping in if only he'd remember to pop back out again.

Halloumimuffin we don’t call them randomers around here.😁

They aren't here randomly. They’ve come to enjoy the National Park. Infuriating though cyclists en mass are, I couldn’t leave individual cyclists abandoned with a flat tyre and no mobile reception. Difficult to put a Steinway on a bicycle, so I tend not to worry. I’ve had more flowers than stolen silver.

A couple of weeks ago when we had the mini heatwave that was Summer I was sitting on my sofa in my underwear, windows open to try and get a bit of fresh air. No worries about being seen by passersby due to my drive. Minding my own business watching tv when my friend stuck her head through the open window and says 'cooo-eeee!'

Have some sodding boundaries popper inners!! In my home I walk around in my underwear, sometimes naked. Don't stick your head through my sodding window! It's rude and invasive

The people who don't mind 'poppers-in' (who are usually 'poppers-in' themselves,) don't like other people having a different opinion to them do they?

It seems to me that it works both ways ...

hope some poppers read this thread and decide to change their evil popper ways as a result
