I've always been of the mindset that one does not invite themself, but they wait to be invited. Yesterday, someone I barely know (exchanging pleasantries at church is the only conversation I have had with them) asked if they could pack up their fishing gear and come fish my pond.

That's not a metaphor.

Unless he showed up at your doorstep, I don't see what's the big deal about asking permission to fish your pond.

I don't get what the big deal is.

Growing up, we had a pond in our backyard

Sometimes, we'd get randoms that would approach us/ring doorbell with a fishing pole/gear asking if they could fish in our backyard

No issues.

Majority has spoken. I'm tripping.

I view the circumstance as being equivalent to someone inviting themself to a party, which I would never do. I guess it's more commonplace than I imagined.

So, do any of y'all have a big south Texas ranch. I would like to ask to do a little free deer hunting.
You may not be a moron, but some people think you are.

Inviting oneself is the influence of Satan. Beware.

Sounds like an Agent Petty/Uncle Russ situation to me.

It is near certainty that she will return. She won't ask permission, just show up whenever she wants to fish. "Oh, you let me fish here once. I assumed it was no big deal and didn't want to bother you."

Another near guarantee. She will show up with friends. Again, this will happen without talking to you.

It's too hot to fish, and too hot for golf,

And too cold at home.

Never too hot for golf. I haven't skipped a planned round this summer because of the heat. Having said that, it's been damn hot on the golf course this summer.

To keep it on topic, I once accidentally invited myself to a wedding.

Tell them the last time you fished that pond all you caught was a tin can, an old boot, a tire and this book of cliches.

Exactly this

If you don't want her fishing on your property, tell her no
