Uninvited Guests

Dealing with people you don't like or who visit your home uninvited is nothing but a problem for any homeowner.

Most important deal with such people politely; you never know when you will need their help.

Be prepared in advance for unexpected guests. Often, we barbecue during summer evenings, and on certain occasions, we prefer to just hang out together by the barbecue.

Small chats about us and other plans are our best pass time after a long hard-working day. It always feels good to be able to connect after a long day.

Our neighbours are friendly and always there to help, but one specific family is living in the neighbourhood area.

Often, they would make any excuse to visit when they noticed our barbecue grid lit up.

One evening, we planned a barbecue for the three of us, and half an hour later the husband stopped by that family. Fifteen minutes later the wife came by, and that was the end of our family’s barbecue time.

I was not pleased about it; they turned up unannounced and ruined our evening, however, we were the politest, and went on with the evening they stayed for a while; had supper and went off.

Uninvited guests in my opinion are like a thorn in the side, especially if they are not likeable or are not the friend types. People who visit uninvited, and you are not the best of friends with, is a problem.

Try to be polite and have conversations. These incidents won't be repeated the next time a different idea. Offer them drinks and send them off before you start the barbecue.

A disliked uninvited guest, instead of spending time with that person allow them to mingle with others, and you won't have to spend time with those types of guests awkwardly.

You can get rid of the uninvited guests by showing them off at the door; this is when you are holding an event.

To avoid the attention of other people noticing such behaviours at the function. Another great idea pretends to be leaving the house with your purse, and car keys at hand. You act out as soon as you see the uninvited guests arrive.

Do you know of the Unwanted-Guest-Basket?

Remember to have this close to the entrance into your front door, when someone stops by uninvited pretending to be going out.

Uninvited guests are often rude and would peep into your home.

Try to look as if you are in a hurry and don't give these people the chance to enter your home.

You hear the voice of the uninvited guest be quiet and stay inside and wait until they are out of sight.

Sometimes these guests don't get up and leave that quickly. Make silly excuses if you don't want to be nasty.

Tell these people you have a stomach ache, and that you have been going to the toilet all day and advise them not to get close to you.

If you are good at shouting and have a gift for pretending to be arguing on the telephone, then do that to make the guest leave even sooner.

An awkward moment for uninvited guests, but that would make them leave immediately!

You can also say your stomach ache is contagious; sometimes you have to say something that sounds terrible to get your uninvited guests away from your home. Every individual feels different to/from others and can't all be impolite, but the excuses do work well to make those go away.

The Unwanted-Guest-Basket is the best.

People don't like every single person they meet daily, but politeness is often the answer to keep them away from your property.

Overall, it is your home and you have the right to allow whoever stops by if you don't like a certain person tell them to stop visiting you.

I had the experience of uninvited guests with the same people more than once, the last time they got my message. In the beginning, I didn't say anything, it was difficult for me to mention harsh words to/such people.

One day, I politely said, ''I am not used to having people stopping by at my home at any time of the day, as I don't want my time to be disturbed by anyone. I grew up in a different culture and was not familiar with this new culture.

Since that abrupt speech, they have not come by uninvited, and we are still neighbourly-friendly. Certain problems are solved most entirely and be direct in your conversation.

Do you hate the idea of uninvited guests in your home?

Some people love it when guests just drop by uninvited it makes them feel good.

Culture does play a big part in this, doesn't it?

The uninvited guest can be welcomed if the person is in good company.

Ever had a drunk in your home, uninvited and who won't stop talking too much?

He helps himself to your cigarettes slobbers over the seat and talks with slurry words. It is most frustrating to have people of this type in your home.

The uninvited guests waiting to eat at a barbecue are more pleasant than having a drunken guy sitting at your side, being annoyed with this character and with less useful conversations.

The types of people you associate with also have a huge part in your life. It can be a pleasant surprise or a rude moment.

You have prepared dinner for four people, and three other people show up at the very moment you have just started eating.

What would you do in that situation?

One can be under pressure and would have to prepare something else for the uninvited guests.

Stop by someone's home, while they are eating, and sitting there and watching them eat can be the most awkward.

Some people don't mind the uninvited guests, but always put you in that situation. Look at it both ways and decide for yourself.

You could tell them you could have called first, next time they get the hint and would call first rather than stop by unannounced.

Your personality shows here and if you can be direct good for you. Uninvited guests can be like freeloaders.

They will eat at your place, and prey on drinking, even more, wine, beer, or whatever you have to offer.

In time that adds up to an expensive deal. I knew a couple that often had friends in their place, and gradually, they made that a habit of stopping by for a meal on many occasions.

The woman had enough of them stopping by, so one day she put the empty plates on the floor for the dog to lick off.

Friends didn't show up for a while after that incident. Showing up at odd times and not having the guts to tell them not to come by is a problem with many people.
