Is it rude to sit on someone’s front driveway wall?
Hello! My friend and I are debating the ethics of sitting on someone’s driveway wall outside the house for a period of time ~ 20 mins max.
My stance is that it’s altogether strange to be sat in a stranger’s property for anything other than quickly tying your shoes or drinking something. 20 minutes is NOT a short amount of time to be lurking around. The homeowner has a right to be suspicious and it’s somewhat trespassing. I think it’s rude and entitled when you could sit elsewhere or on the floor away from housing. Obviously medical emergencies aside.
Hi! I am friend. I think it’s not that deep to sit there for a little bit, if there’s nowhere else to sit. Think, waiting for a friend for a short time. I don’t understand why it would be considered rude or suspicious. If someone were to sit there for hours or be sitting there regularly, or enter the property and go into the driveway or garden, it would be weird and suspicious, but being there for a short time just isn’t deep and calling it entitled definitely feels dramatic.
Let us know what you think! This is all for fun so please keep it lighthearted.
