In the early 90's, Would it have been unusual for a friend to enter your house if you weren’t home, clean up a bit, and answer your phone if you weren’t answering?

Context: This assumes they were stopping by because they couldn’t reach you and thought you might just be home but busy. Would this have felt normal, or would it have been considered strange behavior?

These are the types of questions I ask as I down a xanax and wonder if that one dude from 20 years ago still thinks about the time I went for a hug when they wanted a handshake

My stalker did this. I hooked up with this girl and old friend from school mid 90s. I told her I'm not looking for a serious deal. I blew her off for a month or 2. She kept calling, stopping by leaving notes etc. I was ducking her. My mom was unaware. 

I sold my house and my mom was helping me clean and move. I come home from work one night and my mom and this girl are packing my stuff. My mom is like your new gf is so sweet and helpful. She befriended my parents. Found my new address. 

This is a long story. I was nice to her but ended it once and for all. I played a part to blame. I used to drink. She would show up unexpectedly at my house while I'm drunk and let her do stuff. I always regretted it the next day.

She started going to my parents house and following me, calling me at work. Now she is getting mad, she was going to show videos of us getting it on to my current gf. 

 

This lasted for years. My wife finally put her straight. Straight through a door. Well it was a screen door. 

 

So yeah its weird for someone to clean your house unexpectedly.

During the 90s, probably would have been a little bit off. Move it back a decade and it probably would have been OK. 80s was really the last days of neighborhood kids playing outside together and coming over during summer and after school.  Parents had to know other neighborhood parents and helping out when checking on their house would probably have been normal.

My friends and I treated each other homes like we lived there too in the 80s.  Familiar bikes in the yard or later, cars parked outside, and there might well as well not been a door.  We knew where the spare keys were when no one was home and as long as you didnt eat all the good snacks it was copacetic.
