Do you appreciate a heads-up when people come over to your house (say when doing house reno. Details inside)

I am housesitting/pet sitting for my sister. She has a kitten who is not allowed to go outside. If she gets near the door, she’ll bolt. My sister has a few guys working on her kitchen. These guys never give me a time as to when they’re going to show up (wait, maybe once, but they were 3 hours late). Sometimes it’s first thing in the morning, sometimes later in the evening. I told the head guy to give me a call from now on to let me know that they’ll be over, so, A) I can make sure that someone is home to let them in, and B) I can lock the kitten in a bedroom.

The drywall guy showed up at 9 last night, and I was in the hot tub. He did say that he would be over at 6, so I waited.

I went for a run and had a shower at 4, today. When I was in the shower, I could hear the phone ringing. I’m thinking “oh, shit, maybe someone is here to work on the kitchen”. The phone stopped, then rang again. I hopped out of the shower, hair wet (still soap in it), got dressed and ran to the front door. The drywall guy said that he was there for 20 minutes. Dude needs to tell me that he’s coming over to work, don’t you think?

I talked to the head reno guy and he said that since the other day, I left the back door open (when he was supposed to be there at 6), that he figured I would do it again. He was a jerk on the phone.

Fuck off!
