Who DOES this??
Oct. 17th, 2011 08:43 pmDoorbell rings at 5:15 this evening, while I'm finishing supper, getting Kat up from her nap, and getting Bruce ready for work. At the door is a girl I used to be friendly with (before I couldn't put up with her bizairre family dramas and really overbearing husband anymore), and her two toddlers. She starts saying how they were at the Botanical Gardens and figured they would stop by on the way home to see how I was.
Who the hell does this?!? I would never stop by anyone's house without calling ahead, much less someone I haven't seen in over a year. The only person who comes by without calling is my next door neighbor, and we're super close.
And isn't that 5pm hour generally crazy for everyone? I know it's a bit more hectic in my house than others, since Bruce works nights, but aren't most people getting home from work and having supper around then anyway?
It took me ten minutes to get them out the door, while her boys are investigating the piles of tiles and supplies from the contractor and she keeps trying to make small talk. I feel bad for her; she has a pretty rotten life. But she did choose to marry her jackass husband and, anyway, if you need some companionship, fucking call me up first and we'll set a time to get together. Don't just "stop by".
