Have you ever been in the middle of being "intimate" with your SO when all of a sudden, you hear an unannounced knock at the door? How did you handle the situation? Did you just wait until they left? Or did you stop, dress, and go answer the door?

The thread is inspired by a little situation I found myself in today. I never go anywhere unannounced but today I did because a couple I'm freinds with were out of town and I went to go check things out at the house to make sure everything was ok. When I got there I seen that they had returned but I was already in the driveway and figured I was obligated to say hello.

When I got to the door the tv and lights were on and the dogs were at the door barking at me. It had all the signs that someone was home except I knocked and nobody answered. I stood for awhile and knocked again but still no answer. I then stepped down into the driveway and sent a text to one of them from whom I didn't get a reply.

I thought ok then, thats cool, I'm outa here. So I backed out of the drive and began driving down the road when she stepped out of the front door and called my name. I stopped and said "where were ya"? She said she was in the bathroom and proceeded to my car to talk for a moment. Then her husband came out and spoke as well. If she was in the bathroom then where was he? Hmmmm.....

So do you guys think I'm right? Have you ever been in either my situation or theirs and how did you handle it?

Well of course. Surely this is a common occurrence for most people.

I don't see where it matters what you are doing when the doorbell rings...if you can't get to the door, so what? Unexpected knocks on the door are not a cause for interrupting anything in my house. Anyone that knows me, has my phone number and can let me know they are coming over.

I'd ignore it and keep going.

Unless important ignore. Or if it's Mormons both of you could greet him in your birthday suits and give him a seizure.

There is no situation to me, nothing is more important than what I am involved in at that moment.

^^^^ 100% agree with this. And I don't care if I have TV or music on, or my vacuum cleaner can be heard outside the door. People that decide to show up at my door, because they were in the neighborhood, or are bored and want someone to entertain them can't expect to be invited in. I think its VERY rude!!
I don't answer the phone when I am busy either. Leave a message and wait for my response. Yep! Its my house, and I am the king

There's no denying it can be a moment killer, but I ain't getting up !!

I don't answer the door to unannounced callers anyway.

I have never understood why anyone would ever answer the door or the phone for that matter whilst in the throes of passion ! Having the bell ring is a little bit of a distraction but nothing is going to stop me from carrying on what I started... Well maybe an earthquake or a fire but certainly not a visitor.

I have an absolute horror of unannouncer visitors, I find it really rude.

You might be otherwise engaged as in Nookie, not feeling very well, having other family and friends, having to do something for work or school etc...

People who drop in on you like that are simply throughtless IMO. They think they are just being spontaneous but they actually are being very cavalier with your life and basically happy to subject you to enforced jollity and interaction and submitting you to a form of emotional blackmail.

I only answer the door when I feel like it. Same with the phone. Just because it rings does not mean I have to answer it.

I always find it odd in films when the characters answer the door even if it interupts them having sex. I would be pretty insulted and miffed if Hubby decided that was more important than attending to me at the particular moment.... A bit like people who answer their cell phones whilst out with friends in restaurants, theatres, etc... Get a life.
