I think I'm done answering the door

Never answer the door for unexpected fools
 
I don't answer the door for randos either. I detest people trying to peddle bullshit constantly. It's like why the fuck are you bothering me at 7 o'clock at night while I'm trying to eat dinner? Do you think that's a way to get my attention and listen to your spiel? It's good way to get the door slammed in your face.
 
I built a half fence many years back, no more dog crap on my lawn, well worth it, gun sign in california would probably get me arrested.
An American flag would do the trick. I guess people are pretty astute to the fact overly patriotic people are second amendment supporters. Or hell put Trump flag in your front yard.

that really would show you may have a backwards, rah-rah american and a gun nut. I mentioned how i work in rural areas, I generally don't feel at ease, for many reasons, I don't know the roads, I don't know the driving norms (whether it's ok to speed or not) and I really do not like it when I see two flags on one truck. The trump signs and bold, pro-american shit is a normal there, about as normal as the city folks to hate trump.

It's not always like that, driving in natural, beautiful areas when traffic is light puts me in a euphoric mood, but.., people can ruin anything.

Answered the door this morning. My wife forgot to tell me to leave something outside for a friend to pick up.

I almost always answer the door. If someone's brave enough to step to the plate then it's my obligation to see what they want. The religious people trying to convert me are by far my favorite.

It's funny, when I was younger people always answered the door. It almost seemed like basic manners. It's completely flipped over the years and now you're the weird one if you actually answer your door.

you're right, my parents always opened the door. My mom, after she became disabled, I'd try to get her not to answer the door but it never worked, it was like some sort of hardwire in her. One time, right after 9-11, the fbi came after a tenant in our building, my mom answered a knock, opened a seperate door to the rest of the building and they yanked his ass and put him on the news. I never heard the end of it but I don't think the poor guy had anything to do with any terrorism, he was a truckdriver though. The way he'd sing to his baby kid just didn't seem to me like something a terrorist would be into. But I never heard for sure. Anyways, the news stations were knocking and getting my mom on the news and I finally chewed her ass out and told her not to answer. My mom was caucasian, I'm half indian, she never understood a million things about my people and one of them is that you should be wary and not trusting and people are out to exploit you. She was a total misfit in the white world but she spent her life trying to fit, bless her heart, and trying to convince me to put myself through the hell she put herself through. I've been "fuck the world" most of my life and the times I haven't, I've usually regretted it.
 
Same, I never answer the door unless I expect something to show up that day, I ordered food, or people I know are coming over. It's always religious people, sales people, or just weirdos.
 
Vivint sales people got me acting like a hostage in my own home
 
When I get a house I am going to install fake palm and retinal scanners. Then use the door camera to fuck with people.

*Knock knock*

"Code in, please"

?

"Place your palm on the scanner. Look into the camera for retina scan. Now code in. Code in, please."

?

"THIS IS A SECURE FACILITY. STAND BY. LAW ENFORCEMENT IS BEING DISPATCHED"
 
Now I have the Men and Work 80s song Who Can It Be Now running through my head.

Not much chance for me to hide from door bell ringers. To many windows for others to see me in the house. If I tried to hide it would be a little bit awkward.
 
I always check my ring doorbell and decide.
 
I never answer the door. Anyone who knows me knows to text me before coming over. I’m tired of solicitors and Mormons.
