Members shared their very different feelings about surprise visits from friends, with responses ranging from pure excitement to feeling overwhelmed or caught off guard. Several members described personal reasons for needing advance notice, including health challenges like bowel issues, cognitive fatigue, and recovery from heart surgery, while others simply appreciated the spontaneity of unplanned visits. A recurring theme was that reactions often depend on who is at the door, the time of day, and how someone is feeling that day.

Depends on who, when, why! My kids and grandson ‘jovial and beyond the moon’, most others hide behind the sofa. 🤗

If there's a knock on the door, I always send my husband to answer it. I know it's not family, who I'm always glad to see. They always call and let us know they are coming. We live far enough away that they want to make sure we will be here when they get here.

I don't know about any of those things but I mean I would definitely be like. Hey man, let's chill burn one. So yeah I guess if that is jovial and beyond over the moon then yes I would be so but if it's not I'm just going to be stoned
