so i just need a sounding board here, sort of along the line of hammerofdawn's thread re: family visiting.
i have some (out of town) family members who invite themselves along to events inappropriately. is this common? they heard that my dad is flying in to participate in a local event with my husband and the next thing i know, they get plane tickets and are crashing the event, and crashing here. no heads-up. wtf?
is it just me or is that really impolite?

Perhaps next time they crash you could have an etiquette book on the nightstand for their bedtime reading pleasure.

family means, never having to say you're sorry.

when they arrive, let them knock on the door, then say "come in"
the dorr will be locked so they will jiggle the handle, and knock again probably while repsonding "hey, it's locked"
again tell them to "just come in"
they will probably yell "it's locked!" and possibly knock again.
let them sit there for a while. see how many more times they knock or call out, "Hello?"
when you finally open the door 17 minutes later say, "What's wrong? don't you have a key?" when they obviously say they don't then respond, "Oh, that must be because this isn't your fucking house." and slam the door in their stupid faces.
call the cops, pretend you have no idea who they are. relax with a bowl of popcorn

Start dressing like a hamster and eating giant sized sunflower seeds and see what happens...

Hate this crap. Some of my relatives treat my grandmother's house like a hotel.

what's worse is that this is my sister's husband, whom i already have a very hard time liking. he's a huge fronter/wanker but he loves my sis and their kids so i try to look past all that.
now he's ruining the FIRST time my husband and dad go on a little adventure together. WANKER!!
thx for the feedback guys. glad it's not just me.
