SAHMs, do you answer when someone knocks on your door?

17:23 again- and a friend of mine let in a Kirby vacuum salesgirl the other night and she stayed for TWO HOURS and then cried when they told her they could not give her $2800 on the spot for a vacuum. She used their phone to call her "supervisor" and cried some more and eventually left. Hell fucking no. I'm never answering my door.

Where are you people at with all of these people coming by? What areas is this in?

Who on earth has that kind of time on their hands that they can open the door for strangers? Wow, I wish I had that kind of time. Wait, no I don't. I just don't have the time to get into it with a salesperson, and if you p*ss them off, I'm sure they wouldn't mind coming back to your house sometime with bad intentions.

We had a delivery one day and the next morning we had three shattered windows on our new cars. No thanks.

PP, why are you so interested where this is? Its not one place. You do realize that, right? Why would anyone in their right mind publicize where it is?

You people don't sound very bright. Keep opening that door, though.

I am confused by your entire post.

Maybe you need to be nicer to the delivery guy/lady.

I have a sign that says: night shift workers, do not knock. If it is not an emergency, it will be when I wake up.

Surprisingly, no one knocks. It's great.

If they do, I answer the door. Armed. Simple.

I never do, in Cleveland Park we get them all the time. I had heard from a neighbor that they are sometimes going door to door to canvas the scene for a possible break in. To kind of see who is home at what time. If I were you do not feel guilty not answering the door. We do not live in the times of Mayberry anymore where honest sales people peddle their wares.

OMG!! This is ridiculous! 2 effing hours your friend will never get back. The funny part is the sales girl called her boss in front of your friends, how professional!

I wish you were my neighbors! Mine like to knock on the door at the worst times. Go away!!!

Thought talking to management is part of the sales performance. To make it seem like they are offering you a great price.

I guess I live in a boring neighborhood. The only people who knock are neighbors, a guy asking about trash and the (hot) Fedex man.

19:53 - FAIL. This is after a $20. each tip. Some people are never happy and will always think the wrong thing.

As far as brandishing my weapon, I don't care for them to break in for that, too. Thanks anyway.
