[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I open the front door whether my DH is home or not. If I’m not expecting someone and I’m busy, I might just ignore it.

I am fine with taking reasonable precautions but there’s a line where you’re holding yourself hostage to very, very small risks. I just can’t live like that. I’m not going to be constantly in fear just to reduce my risk from .0000002 to .0000001[/quote]

“Hostage?” Are you always this dramatic.

You’re on my doorstep. I don’t know you. I don’t answer. You go away. I go on with my day. No “hostages” here.  :roll: [/quote]

This.  Not getting the drama or outrage.  No one is obligated to open their door to strangers.[/quote]

The upset people in this thread are the ones not opening the doors. A small # of us have said that seems like bizarre overkill - I strongly suspect virtually all of the non-openers live in DC or other quasi-urban areas like near-in Arlington. I'm in the "boring" suburbs area and honestly would consider it rude to have a blanket policy of never opening my door if i'm not expecting someone. I think this depends a lot on what kind of neighborhood you live in. [/quote]
