Do you answer the door when someone knocks, and you're not expecting anyone?
#19351839 - 12/31/13 04:43 PM (10 years, 30 days ago) |

So I'm sitting here alone on a Tuesday night -New Years- Waiting for my girlfriend to get off work, which won't be for another couple hours, and boom someone starts knocking on my door and ringing the doorbell for a good two minutes. I live out in the country, however there are 4 or 5 houses in on the same street. Anyway I wasn't expecting anyone and paranoid me decided not to answer then door. It was most likely some neighbors telling me about a New Years party they are throwing, however I would rather not take the chance of anyone coming inside and seeing things they don't need to see. What do y'all do when someone knocks and your not expecting anyone?

It depends honestly on what kind of mood I'm in and how well groomed I am.

I answer the door.. Although if I lived out in the country it might be a different story. I could imagine I'd be a little more cautious/paranoid.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I do, but I really had no intention of opening it up no mater who it was. I'm pretty sure they can see me if I look out the window too. I keep various weapons for home defense incase of a break in, and the last thing I want though is to be friends with the neighbors and have them "drop in."

I often answer the door now, but we used to get very frequent visits from the Jehovah's Witnesses so a lot of the time I would just wait for them to go away.

No the pistol stays on my side in its holster unless I intend to use it. I make sure that shit is in plain sight even though I have my permit to carry a concealed.
I don't see the point in concealing a weapon. If you own one you should know how and be willing to use it. Make that known.

Depends entirely if I'm in the middle of snorting a line of Colombian cocaine pure as the driven snow off the tits of at least three svelte and altogether highly nubile hookers in my living room.

Most definitely. I will have plenty of $$ and I should have a time for once this Summer so it may actually be a possibility.

I don't answer the door because it's probably mormans or something. my friends call first. if a neighbor was having an emergency they would knock a little more erratically.

This might sound racist, but back when I was like 10 there was this black man door to door salesmake and he knocked on our food and we looked at the window and were too terrified to awnser the door because he was black. Then we watched him go down the street and knock on other doors and no one awnsered the door to him.

I almost never do. I think its an intrinsic distrust for strangers that i have. If i dont know you, i am on guard until given some kind of reinforcement that youre decent.
Happened a few night ago actually and i looked through the peer hole, didnt see amyone. Went out later to do laundry and saw my keys were still in the door; the person was trying to help. Super cool

I recently read a story about a man on death row, he walked up to a random house, with a divorced woman and her 4 year old daughter, he knocked on the door and the 4 year old girl awnsered, he asked to use the phone, (this was before cell phones, in modern day they use a different line) the girl went to go get her mother , he followed her inside and killed the mother and daughter.
