People always inviting theirselves to your house.Totally like everyday .If they don't have lives of their own that's fine; Not my problem though.Why do they disrespect people by always popping up especially at the wrong time?I have a idea of how to rid the problem.But would like to know how you would handle this situation?

Well, it is disrespectful in one way, but it really is just that their really comfortable at your house and that, in a way is a compliment. You obviously let them feel comfortable enough so they could just pop in, but the only way you can stop it is to be honest and tell them that it's getting out of hand now. That you need some privacy and you want a phone call before they come. Say, sometimes it might not be a good time, because you want to take a nap, or take a shower or just be alone. They will have no choice but to respect the person who owns that house. Good Luck.

People can't come in your home if you don't open the door!!! They don't know the time is wrong unless you tell them. If someone pops up over your house politely tell them you are about to leave or extremely busy attending to personal matters and to call next time because your schedule has become very busy. If they don't get the hint, next time come straight out and tell them you enjoy their company but don't come over without calling first...good luck.

Insist on them calling first
My husband thought it funny, he put a sign on the front door
{ door bell is charged with 175 volts of electrical power - Please ring }.
In the front winder he got a sign { knock on door and enter at your own risk - bought 2 Doberman Dogs - how fast can you run }.
I have not been bothered in years. Not even sales people come to the door any more...
And my family always called first and so did my best friend..

I often do not answer my door simply because I am not feeling well, or am not wearing proper attire. I may be in the bathroom doing several different things when I hear someone knocking.
I only allow visitors who call ahead. If someone stops by without calling first, I hide!

how this begin. you have to go to the root. you were probablly very friendly and weloming in the begining, telling people to come. i know how it feels. but it depends are they friends, relatives, people you get along with, or u cannot stand. there is a different approach for each situation. if it is someone u like tell them that you would appretiate it if they limit their time in your house. tell them i do not mean to be rude but i have things to do and i cannot be held back by u. tell the people that we can schedule some time when we are both free. if you do not like them, they are not your friends you can use the same approach, but do not say we can hang out some time.

that just happened to me yesterday! And i didn't even know her. she came up to me and said, "Do u want to be my friend?" and i couldn't of said no cause her parents were right there and she was rude to my mom and she was really ugly and overweight and a baby. i guess u just tell them that u have something going on and u need to be alone or pretend that just bout to go somewhere. i know this is lying but it is the only way to get them out of there house if you really want to. good luck!!! teehee =)

If these intruders are your family, you should politely, but bluntly ask them to call first. If they are friends, you should tell them they are being disrespectful towards your privacy & to call first.
If you do not care for them to EVER come over again, do not open the door for them.

Learn how to speak up and be direct with people (without losing your cool). It just requires a little courage, that's all. Most people probably don't realize that what they are doing is rude.
