Please forgive me for listing the entire post but there is a lot I agree
with here. Sorry Ras, but I feel dealing with "drop-ins" with courtesy
makes for happier times for everyone. If someone is just hanging out in 
the kitchen then I'll encourage them to help or if there are too many people
in a small space I'll have the extras leave and explain why. I've never had
anyone cop an attitude. I don't mind getting ice for people or whatever. 

Usually the bystanders are willing to help if they know what to do and if
there's nothing for them to do they will usually stay out of the way.

Yours,

Gunthar
