One thing that irritates me to no end is people who show up on my doorstep unannounced giving me no warning whatosever. I have a friend that I've known for over 20 years that continues to do this repeatedly again and again and I've told him countless times to phone first but he doesn't.I think it is very disrespectful.I do not show up anywhere unannounced.

Last weekend he shows up while I had a date over and she left before he did.I gave him shit again. The only reason I let him in was because he saw my date and introduced himself.I thought then maybe he would get a clue and leave.He doesn't.I tell him I'd like him to leave,but then he's just got one more thing he wants to mention.So last night he shows up during my dinner and I didn't answer the door. This is not the first time I have not opened my door.He then phones me saying he left an e-mail telling me he was coming over.Well e-mail isn't the phone.

That's my rant for the end of the week.Any suggestions you may have are welcomed since I'm at the end of my rope. I have run out of ways to try and make him understand,mostly diplomatically,other times not so.I don't need anymore stress in my life .Incidentally, 20 years of friendship will mean squat to me if this doesn't stop,which is something he is aware of. Also he a wife and kid's so it's not like he has nothing to do.
