Do you prefer your guests to inform you about their arrival or you don’t mind?
My husband thinks it’s okay for people to just drop by without informing beforehand or giving a call Islamically, but I think in this day&age when we have cellphones etc people shouldn’t just show up on your door and should always inform you beforehand.
What do you think?
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
Relatives showing up without informing is perfectly fine.....they do it...and we dont mind....its fun....and achanak se ana soemtimes just gives an awesome end to the day wen u least expect it.....
"not relative" i wud prefer come bata ke...like maybe a few hrs in advance....but in case they do come without telling......its fine...
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
I like it when people come without informing first. I sometimes do that too,
apna pan mehsoos hota hai :k:
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
it makes sense that people should ask if somebody's home before coming, so it's just common sense, and that's what everyone i know does, even if they live nearby they will make sure that the elders are home, and only after that they get ready and come to our house. not only it's practical because you don't show up for nothing if no one's there, but it's also polite.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
Advance information is good but I dont make faces if someone shows up without notice. They are also taking chance of finding no one at home.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
I don't like that. Thankfully most of the people we know are considerate enough to call before coming. I personally feel it's very rude to just drop by.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
@ Cinnamonroll , Its not about common sense, sometimes it's just fun to do something spontaneously.
If no one is at home i would just leave. Banda un ke ghar ke saamne tent to nai laga le ga

though i prefer people informing first but if its someone realllly close like khala/mamoon/chacha etc then i'll be really happy even if they come without informing first.....aisa ho chuka hai aur bari khushi hoti thi jab woh loag bataye baghair achanak a ker surprise dete thay.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
They're welcome to come, but then they have no right to complain about how "bad" my home making skills are and what I serve them to eat (but we wouldn't be humans if we don't judge and complain ;)
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
I prefer that people inform me before coming over.
it may require juggling the schedule or other commitments.

exactly, we like to treat our guests really good as far as food goes, and sometimes it takes time to arrange for that so it's always good to be informed beforehand
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
******When people inform you they are coming to see you, it can also mean they want to be entertained, plus fusseid over and all the takaluf that has to be extended to a guest............
Where as when people who are really close to you and do not mind even if you don't offer them a glass of water, because if they need a drink they will help themselves.....that is usually family and very close friends
However the fact remains that Guests are considered a blessing! whether announced or un announced!****
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
I hate surprise guests...
Fair enough occasionally theres some charity worker or local authority representatives that might knock un-anounced and I have once had friends knock for me when I was alone. But Fammily scenario does not suit uninvited guests. Most people when they do come along are made to feel welcome and all... but I dont like it.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
I like it better when people let you know before they are coming. At least that way you can be prepared.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
I get annoyed when people show up unannounced, mostly because I look like **** when I am home and don't like opening the door like that. If I am/the house are looking fine and I am not busy, I enjoy it when the family drops by.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
it varies from guest to guest i think. Some guests are welcome at any time of the day and somre are uncomfortable on us even if we have invited them ourselves.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
The only houses I will just turn up at is my parents or my inlaws, everyone else I call before. I don't like unexpected visitors and will not answer if they are really annoying.
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
hows your neighbour doing, sarab?
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
I don’t do it but I do not mind at all , I feel good if someone comes without announcing . It does not matter if they are an acquaintance , fast friend or a relative.
bilkul sahi farmya. :k:
Re: Bin Bull-aye Mehmaan
Better if they call beforehand. The life is so busy, we might not be home, we might have some other guests visiting us the same time, we usually are in PJs and wander freely in our home... So its better if they call before coming. We do the same and we should respect people's privacy. I don't have close relatives nearby, if they would have been in the same country, the practice would be different with them.
