of the morning.I was sitting in the front room last night,or should i say early hours of this morning when there was a knock on my front room window.To begin with i ignored the first lot of knocks on the window and then there were more,so i pulled back the blinds to see who it was,realised it was my husbands friend, i opened the door and he said he wanted to talk to my husband,he was drunk and looked like he had been doing drugs.I sent him away and said my husband was asleep and would ensure he would get a call from my husband.He said the reason he came round was because he was bored to my husband tonight when he happened to call in.Im not happy.

I am so happy I am not married! See I wouldn't have gone to the window. I would have gone upstairs and let the A$$hole keep knocking. I assume since he is hubby's friends ,he should answer it. The thing is as soon as he welcomes him in, I'm out the door. i see it as Bros before Hos means I am not wanted, So I'm off like a prom dress.

My husband has told his friend not to call here late at night as my husband go to bed really early and we have tried to settle kids down by then and we need our sleep.He has also told his friend not to call here when he is not here as i am unable to keep trying to get to the door as i am unable to walk fast or far.If he calls again late like that he will be getting a friend of mine dragging him off my driveway,aswell as the warning not to call here at all.

Top of a morning to ya! haha? I would not have looked out i don't think. Just have asked who it was in a somewhat loud voice. And when he said who he was I would have told him my husband is asleep and to please come back at more regualar hours. And I would wonder how your husband reacted. Just my opinion. Sort of old fashioned I suppose but I don't care to have strange men around when the hubby is asleep or gone or etc.

My husband soon told him not to call here again at that time,aswell as if he had woken the children up i would have gone nuts.He also told him that if his car is not here not to call aswell as that was another thing that i had a go at my husband about,as i have a problem walking getting to the door and that there is no way that he would be able to come in as i do not invite his friends in unless he is here.

Pfffft! Drunken idiot! I would have told him to go away as well. But there isn't often any rational discussion to be had with a drunk, either, so sometimes some gentle coaxing has to be done to get them to do the right thing. When he sobers up, call him and tell him of your displeasure and ask him to promise not to do it again. Likely he will be feeling guilty for it after you inform him of his indiscretion. He may not have a memory of it until you enlighten him, so don't assume he remembers. But putting the seed in his sober brain, may stop the drunken brain from doing it again. That has been my experience anyway.

Very good of them to offer to do that.

Oh yes i think that he feels really guilty,as he had to face me aswell when he called to see my husband the other day.I think that he will never be knocking here that time of the night anymore and i know that he had one heck of a headache the next day.He also woke another person up who i chat to on the internet aswell the same night as they live near him,so he had to face them aswell.He has not done it again since,if he do i will not even open the door,i will just ring a friend and they said they will remove him for me,lol.

i would have been livid,i tell everyone not to knock of phone past 9pm,if i was in your situation that man would have got a few choice words from,and i would have made my rules VERY VERY clear to him

I thought that i would wait until he was sober,but my husband had a word with him before i got the chance to,lol.Lets just say he will get a nasty shock if he do that again as i have a telephone number that i can ring,to get him removed off my drive way,i am sure that he wont call for a while after that.My husband knows that i will make that call,to my friend,so he had no choice to sort his friend out.A few years ago when i was well,i would have give him a mouthful,aswell as a slap,so if he has not got it into his head to not knock that late,then he will get the idea next time.

Hello jugs This man appears to have some bad intention, you did a good thing by sending back him certainly, about three months ago a man here was arrested by police, he had the habit of knocking at doors of others , be friend or not, he was jailed because he had raped a woman, who was none else than his closest friend's wife... Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

Like you say even a person that people think they know can turn out totally different.I do not like drunks,as i was treated really bad by an ex and ended up with bruises all over my body and it seems that when men are drunk they are really nasty,never funny aswell as they make you feel under threat.

You are right there,he scares me quite alot as i do know that in the past that he has been a real handful and right now it feels like i am being watched,as he said that most of this week the lights have been on until 2am in our house,i do not think that i am being paranoid.If he knocks ever again late i will ignore it,then if he carries on i will ring a friend as i know that he will leave and not come here again in a hurry.

My husband and I have had friends or acquaintances rather that just didn't get the hint, or would drop by unexpectedly. There was one time a year or more ago that my husband and I had just woken up and the phone rang, it was a friend of his. We didn't answer the phone and next thing we know the person is coming around to the house! I am not sure how we knew he was coming to be honest, I think he left a message that said "I'm blah blah away from your house." Well needless to say we acted like we weren't home. Then there was a time not too long ago that my husband and I had four people over, and one of the people that were over was talking to the same guy I mentioned above, and his brother. Well we told them they could not come over but they insisted on doing so anyway, it got to the point that my husband was mad, and I was kind of halfway yelling into the phone that they needed to leave. I think it's kind of rude that your husband's friend just came around so early in the morning banging on the window but if he was intoxicated he may not have even realized what he was doing, even so I'd make sure he didn't come around unless he was completely sober again.

I think that this man has a drink problem,so i have told my husband to sort his friend out,as the next time he come knocking i will be calling a good friend to remove him.My husband has had a word with his friend so lets hope that there is no more late calling.He did remember calling aswell as seeing me and he also told my husband that he often comes past and see the light on early hours of the morning.I told my husband that if he want drunken stalkers as friends then best he go and see them at theirs rather than here.

Hi, jugsjugs. I know that I would not look out my window if someone is knocking on it. Thank God that I live upstairs. I think that your husband's friend was very disrespectful for knocking on your window. I hope that he does not plan to do this again. I would tell my husband about it and hopefully, it won't happen again. Your husband needs to talk to him about this. He should never knock on someone else window at all times of night. That is very dangerous! And he should stop drinking too. He could really get hurt by knocking on someone else window too.

If he do this again then a friend of mine said just to let them know and they will remove him out of my garden,aswell as give him a good talking to.My husband had a word with him and soo far soo good,he has not yet done it again,but then he did say that my lights were on as always at 2am every morning of this week,now i am worried as i feel like io am being stalked.

I would of jumped out of my skin if someone was knocking at my window in the early morning and then after I found out it was my drunk neighbor I would be pissed. Did you call your friend and complain to her about the actions of her husband?

It was my husbands friend and this man is single,so he has no need to be in his house in his eyes,so perhaps he thought that he could disturb me and doss here.I do not like drunks so there is no way that i was going to invite him in and he is no friend of mine.I do not think that he will come here again late,as my husband had a word with him and if he do call i have told my husband that they will be in for a shock,as i have a very good male friend that will get shot of his friend for me and i will make that call to that friend if my husbands friend dare come here late again.

You are a much braver person than I am to have pulled back the blinds to see who it was because I would be afraid that it was a dangerous person that was out there. You see, if it had been my house that this happened at, the police would have been called and my husbands friend would have ended up at least spending the night in jail for a wide variety of reasons. I would be so upset about someone doing that at my house.

I was fuming to think that he even had the nerve to knock on my window,let alone the time of night and being drunk or high.My husband has had a word with the man and he was told that i am too ill to get to get to the door during the day,so why even think that i can come to the door at night.He also said that had the children woken up then he would have seen the other side of me that is not nice,as it is a fight of wills to get them to go to sleep on a good night.

I probably would have been too scared to even open the blinds! Looking out of a window and seeing someone looking in has always been a fear of mine. Did your husband seem to think this behavior was okay? Hopefully he will have a talk with his friend and he won't do this again. To knock on the window instead of the door was wierd. It is a good thing you sent him away. Your husband should make sure none of his friends come over drunk or high even in the daytime.

People who are drunk mostly behave this way, they partially realize and are to the knowledge of what they are doing... I have experienced such people shouting in front of my home but none of us bother, and it is good that you sent him off, never should we invite drunken people they will mostly bring trouble :(

I had dealings once with a drunken man and i will tell you ever since,i will not go near any man that is drunk again,i had bruised ribs,legs,arms,face even other places that hurt.He did know aswell as could remember being here aswell as seeing me and the best bit was that he moaned that i did not invite him in,lol.

Bored! Trashed, more like. It's one thing to call around if they had an early start, or he was distressed, and it was a situation that you were aware of. But bored will not do. I hope your husband has put him straight!

I would not be happy either. Once some time ago a man came to the door and said he was my husband's brother. He, too, was drunk as a skunk, and he was NOT related to anyone either. What nerve.

I’m surprised you opened the door at that hour! What a rude so and so! I guess if he was drunk and under chemical influence he probably did not consider being polite! I would have woken my husband and let him deal with him! Sounds like a jerk or someone in desperate need of help!

That was quite scary Good thing you did not bother your husband and just sent the man away. That was really improper of him, bothering people. I hope that would be an isolated incident and the man would not bother you nor your husband again. Have a nice day!

I did tell my husband what had happened and i did tell him that i do not want him calling or coming in anymore,as i have my children that come first.He has seen my husband since and he has not allowed him in our house,as i can do without people like that and i know that my husband can do without that type of person.

What was your husbands reaction when he learned this? Did he told anything harsh to you or blamed his friend? That would have shown, how much he is encouraging about this incident. Either way, it is bad manners to knock your windows at that odd time. He might have called your husbands phone instead.

Hi, If I were you, I may not bother to open up the blinds and talk that much to your husband's friend.Somemore it is in the middle of the night. Bit scary. If he really have something urgent,then have to wait till the next morning. To play safe, it is better not to open the door and windown at night, that it to protect ourself from bad people.

I would silently observe how your husband handles this. He may be enabling his friend's addiction by lending him money or helping him when his friend's family locks his friend out. Find out if this is the first time or if this is the first time you learned about this. If it is not, explain to your husband that he is not really helping his friend by allowing this behavior.
