To think it’s really annoying when ppl make unannounced visits

[empee47]

Particularly on a Sunday afternoon? Husband out, finally got both kids round table to do homework, nipped to loo, relatives came in and sat down and are wanting entertained. I’ve had to drop everything. Oh we won’t stop long - they’ve been here for an hour already 🙈

And if they disturbed my Sunday day off I'd be livid.

Yep and its nice mostly but sometimes annoying. Mainly when it's a Sunday afternoon, I've my heatless curler in and there's piled up laundry I haven't got round to doing 😂 And if you've no cake or biscuits in for a cup of tea which is pretty much heresy here. I know I'm very fortunate to have people who care enough to call round just to see me but I do like a wee text to give me a heads up.

Most people on this thread- meanwhile, back in the real world ...

Are mumsnet people not real?

Oohh, I'm definitely in the hate unexpected visits camp!
My worse experience of this was when I was much younger and worked at a local school, also childminding three children beforehand for an hour and walked them to school.
A friend who also worked at the school suddenly started parking outside mine half hour before school started and inviting herself in while I was childminding, expecting tea and a chat every morning!
It really irked me, wasn't fair on the children and I had to be really blunt with her as no amount of hints was working.

@LoafofSellotape We're all real people you know, not bots 🤣
I talk to people I know in real life about this and they all hate it too. My parents had it happen constantly when I was young and I assumed everyone enjoyed it back then, but I asked recently and they said they tolerated it but it was inconvenient
