Default Office Employers: How do you feel about job seekers showing up UNannounced looking for work?

I'm curious to know how owners/managers in professional office settings (such as architectural firms, etc) feel about job seekers showing up announced at their door? Now I don't mean showing up asking for an interview, but rather showing up to drop off a resume and make an introduction. (Particularly when there is NO job opening being advertised).

Do you feel this is rude or unprofessional in any way? Or do you feel that it gives that applicant a leg up on all the others?

I'm curious after this method was suggested to me on another forum. I've heard both sides already, but I was curious to see if there are any business owners on this site who could weigh in. Thanks.

I'm no longer in a position to hire but I used to be. It never bothered me if somebody mailed or emailed a resume and letter, but I found calls and in-person visits to be tacky.
