When somebody knocks on your door do you ever just refuse to answer it? I almost always do. You might think I am some odd hermit type or something, but I have my reasons. Pretty much any time a friend or a family member comes to my house they will call or inform me that they are coming first. It seems like every time I answer the door, and I have no idea who it's going to be on the other side it is either a salesman or some kind of religious pusher out evangelizing. I just don't want to have to deal with either of those. What say you sherdoggies? Are any of you other guys weird like me, or do you always answer?
 
I think that's pretty normal these days actually.
 
I never answer the door.


Fuck that noise.


It’s 2017. Anyone coming to my house is a murderer.
 
I check my cctv, if it's someone i know or a delivery guy with a package for me they'll have the pleasure of meeting me, else they can fuck right off.
 
I check to see who it is first (in case of friend, family, good neighbor, delivery driver). But no I don't answer it if it's a stranger. I'm not interested in whatever bullshit item, service, petition, survey, etc they have to offer.
 
I don't answer to phone only. If i'm not waiting for your call, don't call me.
 
If I'm not expecting you i don't answer sometimes i won't even answer if i am expecting you
 
Not only do my roommate and I frequently not answer the door, we occasionally drop poppers on people.

But seriously, no, these days I just answer it. When I was younger and more of a punk I would generally ignore it, though.

Yeah, I like to avoid people trying to sell me shit.
 
My dog is usually near the door. The delivery people know him but others don't and stay away.
 
depends on my mood, but yes, i generally ignore both phone calls and door knocks that aren't expected.

Gonna be anxiety city... jfc...
 
0 good things have happened from answering any unexpected knock. Also I'm naked in my house basically all the time except the 3 months its cold in Phoenix AZ and I don't want to have to put a sock over my junk to answer the door.


But when I do it's a crew sock and not an ankle sock. BOO-YAH!

If I'm not expecting you and/or don't know you there is a 99% chance the door won't be opened.
 
I keep a cauldron of oil boiling upstairs at all times to pour on solicitors that knock on my door

woohoo!

FYI, if they're saying it's the engine light, it's probably a bomb.
 
Isn't that what a peephole is for?

Anyway I have a Ring Doorbell Pro that I use to check. I don't get much solicitors. Mostly packages being dropped off.
