The “pop in”

Do you know what I hate more than not wearing any socks? People who just “pop in” without warning and it’s too late for you to hide or duck down behind the sofa before they are there in your personal space like a tsunami of unwanted energy wanting small talk and to throw your plans out the window! This happened to me earlier, I’m sure my soul died a little when I heard their voices coming through the door, I knew it was over by this point as there’s only one way out of the kitchen I was in. Wish I could just vanish into a world void of noise and any chance of someone just “popping in”. By the way the term the “pop in” was not made up by myself, I strangely had a YouTube short appear with this Australian autistic guy shortly after the people had left!

  • Totally agree with you there. Thankfully we don’t keep in touch with them now (real blessing) but ugh my mums sister would always invite herself around to my mums at tea time and once she was there you couldn’t get rid of her! She would say just having a quick visit whilst over this way and omg she wouldn’t even leave till after midnight! I’d try and take myself off but it never worked. I’ve heard the term popping in before too don’t worry
