Are you comfortable having family and friends "drop-by" for a visit without calling first?

Sure! Mi casa es su casa!
Only if I know the person well
Erm... not so much
Get off my lawn!

I love that model-slash-rapper in the video!

His rapping skills are terrible though. :(

Unannounced visitors get welcomed with shotgun blasts. :)

What's your office hours?

A discussion at work had me thinking. I grew up in a house that was always open. It wasn't unusual for us to come home from the store to find a friend or two sitting on the back patio, having a beer, chatting and waiting for my parents to come home to visit. I'm pretty much unfazed when someone drops by unannounced, and if I've actually invited folks over, no one bothers to knock.

This is my view of things.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

There's nothing on this earth I hate more than "drop ins."

I don't experience these things.

Thinking about this actually...
For me it is a no.
But for my parents...I guess it depends on the person. For family and my godparents family it's totally OK and yeah, generally there's not even any knocking, just go right in.
With lesser known people they still drop by unannounced sometimes but knock.
We don't know anyone weird enough to come by unannounced whilst not being known enough for it to be comfortable. British people would naturally call ahead to check its OK.
