Annoying Visitors doing Annoying Things.

    A friend of the missus was over in the house earlier. We were all sitting down, having a cuppa & a chat. I took out my fags & the ashtray & was about to light up, when he said, "You're not going to smoke in here, are you? It's just that I have a very sensitive throat".

    I had a few choices;

    1. Tell him to f*ck off & light up anyway
    2. Ask him to man up or leave
    3. Stab him
    4. Not smoke
    5. Leave the room & smoke in a different room, out of "politeness"

    I went for option 5, but I tell ya, the cigarette wasn't the only thing that was fuming.

    So, have you ever had any annoying visitors doing annoying things?

    Yeah, when they visit & expect me to open the door to let them in.

    Their presence in the house is enough to infuriate me.


    Mom hates visitors who won't even offer to help.

    When they don't seem to cope on that it was time for them to go home - hours ago.

    People who 'pop over for a cup of tea' and are still there yapping away 5 hours later, while you're sitting there trying not to yawn and fall asleep.
    Take the fcuking hint and fcuk off to your own gaff :mad:

    That is really f*cking annoying. Especially when you've nothing left to say, you've dropped a million yawn hints, noted the lateness of the hour several times & even hoovered up the dust that has gathered around them since they arrived!

    "You're not going to smoke in here, are you? It's just that I have a very sensitive throat".

    we had couple of visitors that were staying with us some years ago, we went out on the town, I was the last one home, and by then one of the guys had jumped into bed with the girlfriend, she was going up the walls.. he was pretty drunk but it has to be said, hadn't tried anything on if you know what I mean.
    I didn't react that much, as I knew there was drink on the job, which pissed the girlfriend off... so what are you supposed to do, pretend to be annoyed? In the morning he was well embarresed and all apologies.

    The missus tells me that a friend of hers and the friends friend called over. The missus is a hospitable lass so she offered them a cuppa. She has to pop out of the room for a min and when she came back yer man (the friends friend) was rooting through all our drawers :mad:

    So, have you ever had any annoying visitors doing annoying things?
    I think you should have went with option 1. Some nerve a visitor telling you what not to do in your house.

    I f*cking hate when relatives visit, they always get drunk and bring a big load of shíte with them that the rest of us have to listen to, they take over the kitchen, they take over the sitting room, if you find refuge elsewhere they come find you.

    And they always show up when you're knackered and just want to chill out

    Using your jacks, and then píssing all over the seat. And I wish I was joking.

    That just reminds me.. the same guy who was here today was over a few weeks back. I was watching a World Cup match on TV & he asked if I minded turning down the TV as it was "a bit too loud".

    I'm making a f*cking sh*t list & sticking him on the top.

    You should have f*cked him up the ass & said, "How do you like that, you bad boy?"

    That would've learned him.

    He sounds like a cheeky bastard. Ever see the General??
    Next time he comes round just pretend you're popping out to the kitchen then go outside and dose his car in petrol and light it. Casually pop back inside, make a casual comment about your curtains that gets cut off mid-way by "Oh my goodness, is that your car alight!?"
