When it comes to having unknown guests at your household, what is your reaction?

Featured Replies

why dont i make another thread!

 

do you ...

 

a) go hide in your room

b) treat them like royalty

c) act like they don´t exist

d) just akwardly say hello and sit there

h) i never have guests at my household

Pretty much the royalty thing. I have a friend who hides, that's strange.

Depends how many there are I guess

If it where a group of people I didn't know yet they all knew each other, that would be slightly awkward.

But if it was just one or two I'd try to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

But we don't really have that many unknown guests around to be fair :P

a.

 

I'm a horrible person.

ALL OF MY BROTHERS FRIENDS ARE RIGHT HERE IN THE KITCHEN EATING MY PIZZA

 

WHAT DO I SAY

O

MFG

 

WH

Y

d

 

It's almost always friends of my mother, or my step-mom's sister, or my brother's friends.

I say Hi, very awkwardly, and then hide after that. I'm not good at meeting new people. :confused:

The "what the fuck" look is probably cancelled out by the soft strumming and melodic tones of Yellow.

For me, it's kinda like a combination of D and A. I had this happen to me not too long ago, when my brother brought over his girlfriend and her friend, neither of who I knew. It didn't help that they didn't even bother to introduce themselves and just sat there whispering and giggling to each other like 12-year-old girls. :|

I usually hide but when I can´t escape I have no idea what to do.

It depends, but most of the time hide. Trust me, me hiding in my room is much less awkward than the conversation I would attempt to make with them.

It really depends.

 

I either hide and do my own stuff or just try to make them as comfortable as possible and be polite to them.

:nod:

 

I'd say half (d) (I say 'hi' to people) and then half (a) (people know where I'd be so it's not really hiding).

 

My social skills are unfortunately null :disappointed:

probably a). I prepare for a long night it aha. Also, if i need to go to the bathroom, i normally try to be as quiet as possible

just awkwardly say hello and sit there

depends if they are there to see me or not.

if it's someone there to see my parents i either go to the den or my room and listen to music or whatever.

then there's always the awkward visits around christmas time where we pretent to like our neighbors (and they pretend to like us) while we all sit around the living room making small talk.

 

although i will admit when i saw the post title, my first thought was like.... outdoor critters that get in the house, because honestly we get more of those kinds of unwanted guests than we do people.

a), and assume the fetal position in my room til they leave.

hide in my room and don't leave till they're gone.

well unless they came unexpectedly and I was stuck downstairs then I'd awkwardly sit for a while and try to sneak away casually into my bedroom.
