looking for opinions on the phenomenon known as "the drop by" myself, I would never dream of knocking on someone's door unless they knew I was coming. if I just happened to be in the neighbourhood... I would call first, no matter what. BUT - the drop by is a socially acceptable thing for many. people do it all the time. but here's my problem with it... 90% of the time, when I'm at home, I'm in the middle of something and don't want to be interrupted, ....like: sleeping, sex, a naked photo shoot
for example:
and then someone comes to the door...
what do people think? do you drop by on people? do people drop by on you and you hate it? or don't mind? I want to hear the general etiquette on this.

I think that the drop by all depends on how well you and that person know eachother. If you are in a relationship where you must be embroiled in conversation to feel comfortable, then a drop by isn't always warranted. I always have people dropping by my house, but I never feel the need to entertain them-- they just come over and sit around and do their own thing if I'm busy. If droppers by can entertain themselves, then I think that it is acceptable. They're more like out-of-the-house roommates
btw thx for the advice, I was thinking about that, never tried it before, i'll see what happens!
