Do you think it is rude....

luckylily · Gucci

Depends on the situation.

If you were having a big party or event that was obviously going to last late into the evening, then not rude.

If you were just having one or two people over to hang out for a bit, definitely rude.

No party, someone just stopping over to drop something off. Then deciding to bring his stupid girlfriend and stay for TWO hours.

If he was running late, I think the polite thing for him to do would have been to call ahead of time and then we he dropped off something, he should have just left a few minutes afterward. However, maybe he felt like you wanted them there for those 2 hours. I'm sure you were nice to him and that probably made him feel welcome.

Nope, I went to sleep. I had to work in the morning, and since this way the boy's friend I didn't feel the need to entertain.

Rude. No doubt about it!

bean · Kenneth Cole

totally rude. you call if you think you're going to be late, not just show up 2 hours later

bumblebee · Dooney & Bourke

extremely rude.

Ally S · Kate Spade

Its completely rude, if he was going to be late he should have called and rescheduled a better time to stop by.

Good for you going to bed, I would have done the same thing!

rude rude rude rude inconsiderate. Drop by time stops at 9:30 IMHO

e_doli · Dooney & Bourke

rude. i feel for you. my bf has a couple friends that are so incredibly rude like that. they have no clue, socially, how to behave.

10 is way too late to stop by. two hours late with no call makes it worse. staying and hanging out makes it doubley worse.

mikacat · Coach

what isn't rude about it?

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

definitely rude. and i also think it's rude when people call after 10 PM (as long as we're on the subject). the friend should have called to let you know he was running late, and also not stayed for two hours on a weeknight.
