How wrong is it to
What to Do When Strangers Knock Unannounced
It is important to prioritize safety when strangers appear at your door unannounced. You should avoid opening the door and consider calling local authorities if you feel threatened or unsafe. Trust your instincts and take steps to protect yourself while assessing the situation carefully.
That's so cold.lol

And what's worse is I find it funny!

Hear people knocking at my door (unannounced nor invited) and I just sit here like it's not happening?I've done it. People should call first. I don't like uninvited people showing up.

Obviously, I don't either

it's wrong but i slip out the back door. i don't have a back door more like a 3 floor jump from the side of my building.
Spider man, spider man, does whatever a spider can!
I do it all the time. I can see them from the couch. It's like 5 feet away essentially. I just look at them and close the vertical blinds.

I do that as well.Don't show up uninvited to my house or you WILL be standing outside.
I hate when people come over to my house unannounced.
I find it incredibly rude and invasive.
Right though? When I make plans, I don't just confirm, I also let them know I'm on the way because I am respectful to others spaces.
I think I did this to myself.
I normally just open the door and " facilitate their needs and act as a good hostess"
But it struck my fancy to just ignore it today. I laughed audibly loud enough to hear from outside. Music blaring, the front door was even open with just the glass door locked. Im sure I was seen laughing and ignoring it. And I.do.not.care.
Enough already

Haha
So you weren't hiding?

lol....I do the same thing.I also do it if someone intrudes and calls and says....I am on my way over...be there in about two minutes....
....without being invited
I can be two feet away from the door but I will pretend I am busy and wont answer til I feel lIke it.
They can wait.
Before, ive gone as far as to lie about my whereabouts. Like I'm literally in my house texting them I'm not home while they knock and wait.
I never answer texts I don't want to.
And to boot, haven't checked my voicemail in... 2 years, maybe 1? Been full since 2014 😄

Can't wait for the cake you bake when I show up at your doorstep unannounced : ) hahaaaa.

Na, why would I hide in my own home? I acted oblivious and then cracked up despite myself!

I have the same policy that I do with my phone. If I am not expecting the call or don't recognize the caller, I don't answer it. I don't feel guilty at all, though.

It's only thug life if you invited them over and then pretended you weren't home.I have not done that (except that one time) but I know a cap who was notorious with that butter.
Of course, I got my retribution in full 😄
Alright, share your story, spill the beans... Lol

We don't know the story. Wait for it.
Sometimes there is no explanation. We go off pure instinct and it feels good.

I thought you were referring to social phobia, I guess. But you are just being rebellious instead 🙂

I see your sag sun, and raise you Aries mars lol.
I have no phobia with people. I have an issue with my down time being interrupted by people that I wouldn't throw a welcome mat out for.
I don't ask for you to come visit. They just do it. And I facilitate them. But I'm done extending my graciousness. At least for today. I'm not in the mood to play dr.Phil with them.

I don't see the connection. You, however, have done it once before, so you are better suited to answer the question. I wouldn't do that because I despise time-wasting, and I'm not social.
Posted by Impulsv
I do that lol
When uninvited though
Would it be worse if you showed up unannounced and your friend just ignored you?
Usually this friend helps.
Usually this friend is accommodating.
But this day,she sat on her couch and tried to keep a straight face when you knocked, and lost her willpower.
I feel liberated.

There is no story really, I just returned the favour once by not opening the door and the second by leaving and then claiming I forgot he was coming.I hate when people make plans and flake....if you don't hear me when I express that and make it a habit....I will then show you how it feels.
I relate to not appreciating it when someone does not follow through with plans, but I don't relate to the act of mirroring the action that irritates me. I much prefer to just tell the person directly and then to not deal with them anymore if nothing changes. Perhaps it's my Pisces moon...

It was done to me first even though I was invited. I felt it was rude and I didn't feel I was heard....so, I returned the sentiment.

That's why I asked, to understand the motive behind the action. That's one of the things I enjoy least about social dynamics, often times, people feel entitled to your attention and time. It's rough when you are the type of person that may want to socialize, but only for a few minutes, and then may be never again in the near future.

Ok. So it's rough for that person who seeks to be understood. But that's nobody else fault. No one else should have to sacrifice their time to facilitate their neediness.
You go out your way to help someone and they automatically get rights to your private time? No. I'll denote time or they can find someone else to fill their void.

Then maybe it wasn't the moon at all...maybe it was the aqua venus.
I am a scorp bloated with libra. If I try to say something that bothers me and someone doesn't bother to listen and at least acknowledge....I can be very passive aggressive.
click to expand
Maybe, I'm not fond of connecting every action to astrology, but my libra co-worker is as you describe yourself. He considers himself to be very aware and thoughtful of others, and he doesn't appreciate it when people are thoughtless because he believes people should simply be as he is: considerate. He doesn't confront them, but he does act passively aggressive.

Detach yourself.
Nobody felt entitled.
I was invited. If someone changed their mind they could have been considerate and texted....didn't even have to call.
To be invited only to be ignored because someone wasn't feeling like being in your presence is pretty rude.

Why are you being defensive? I was merely making an observation about social dynamics. It had nothing to do with how you felt.

Eye for an eye deal. I get it.
Your intentions were right (teach a lesson) yet your heart was numb.
I can't pretend I'm a saint. But it can be humorous.

@LillyPetalI can assure you I wasnt being defensive.
I felt you weren't understanding so I probably overexplained.
I am a water sign...it has everything to do with how I felt.
Blech, communication is off today. I can't seem to focus on what people are saying - like I'm trying to continue a conversation I had in my sleep. Anyway, I hear you about the water sign...I've been trying to pawn off my moon for a while now.

I prefer the term "Covert Sociability"
I always open the door, unless I'm crying or something ¹
Normally, I do too. But today, I just didn't. Got a kick out of it too.

Not wrong at all!

Are they Jehovah's Witness? Cause if you answer the door nekkid, they never come back.
Ok funny story.
One day I got out the shower with a towel wrapped around me, I hear a knock at the door. I look out the window and see old ladies. So I answer the door.
While I try to open the door, mg big ass dof tries to escape, so while trying to pull him back, the field slipped off and I relaiezed, I was fill mooning my entire goodness to two old Jehovah witnesses.
I mooned them from cdack to crease.
In my state. I told them go have a good day and shut the door. They left paper work the next time I ventured out.
But I have mooned, a bunch of Jehovah witnesses.

It's more wrong than right. From 1 to 10? 5,5.
I do it since I feel old for the sh1t. When I was young, I loved it when they came to visit me. Specially when I was a student.
I even listened to Jehova's witnesses. Of course because the explorer wanted to know about new things.
