[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once had a neighbor who disconnected her doorbell because she didn’t want to be bothered.  You were not rude.  I would like to stop answering the door but it’s a habit that I want to break.[/quote]

Are you literally incapable of having the most benign of social interactions? Who knew there were so many weridos who don't want to answer the door? [/quote]

I work from home alone and I don’t answer the door. Twice in the past year I have had to file a police report because strange men came to my door and claimed they were from a ultility company and needed to check my gas line in the basement or other shady reasons to come in the house. Both were older white men with unmarked white vans and didn’t even try to show me ID. I told them that if the utility company needed something they would send a letter and schedule a visit. They just shrugged and left. So strange. After the 2nd one, I lock the doors and don’t answer the door unless I am expecting someone. [/quote]

I also work from home and unless I know you, I'm not answering the door.  Part of it is for safety reasons and part of is that I'm just tired of dealing with solicitors.  The meat truck people argue with me when I tell them I'm a vegetarian and I will not be buying meat.  The tree guys tell me my trees need trimming when I manage them just fine.  The roof guys tell me I need a new roof when I had one put on two years ago.[/quote]
