Fake cops attempt home intrusion, fought off by homeowner

[Grant H.]

I don't open the door without checking the camera first. I am always armed at home, and my wife knows to leave the door shut unless she is expecting someone and has confirmed its them.

[<MADDOG>]

I answer the door naked. The Jehovah's are always the best reaction...

You sir, have comedic wit!

That may be more terrifying to some thugs than a gun...They may think you are insane!

[Irving]

I don't understand the thought process behind not answering the door or the phone for someone you don't know or aren't expecting. I'm sure it stems from my job being trying to reach people all day long, but it seems to be counter productive.

I guess it depends on your upbringing and/or your current environment. If someone knocks were to knock at door after dark, then my radar goes up. Other than that, it's a kid looking for the daughter, or a door to door salesman...

I still like Monky's suggestion!

[Irving]

I'm not talking about like in the middle of the night. People make it sound like any knock without their notice and they just don't answer.

I don't like people, and I don't have any friends. I don't want to buy any stupid crap anyone is selling or don't want to buy any religion they are selling (yes, soliciting religion is selling it) or don't want to give my time for a survey, or vote for their libtard person who is running for office, so I don't answer the door.

[Irving]

For what it's worth, I don't think I've ever had a stranger come to my door with anything that I needed to know, or where I was glad that I answered. However, people come over unannounced all the time.

I rather just not answer the door, my time is worth more than what they need. Why should I waste my time? I'm not tying to be a dick... (yeah I know I am being one) but so what?

I don't think you're being a dick, just looking at the issue from a different frame of reference. I don't want to take this thread any more off topic. Maybe one day I'll put it in the pet peeves thread if I ever get annoyed enough. It's perfectly fine if people don't want to answer the door, I just don't understand it.

I am fine with agreeing to disagree. Not taking anything personally, and am open-minded enough to take this to pet peeves thread or PM if you want. Many of my nuances in life are based off of real life events.
