+1. Do you not have kids?

I do not like to pretend I am not home. So, in cases like this, I yell thru the door and ask them what they want.

Who cares, you didn’t answer, they’re gone. It was probably a church or a sales call. If it’s important and legit, they’ll get back to you some other way.

That was the first thing I checked for when I opened the door. No leaflet from anyone selling anything or from county services.

Monday morning blues. Couldn't wake up before 8 even with the alarm. The doorbell woke me up. They rang twice a few minutes apart. One was dressed like he was going to an office and the other one was dressed casual. The two people were standing near a truck opposite our house 10 minutes later when I peeked again to see if they were gone. 20 minutes later truck was gone.

Try using your imagination; I'm sure if you try really hard, you can come up with some reasons.

You can't imagine why someone would be asleep at 8am on a Monday? Wow.

Would not open. I'd be awake at 8 but I still wouldn't open the door for anything but a delivery.

No never.

Don’t open the door for anyone you don’t know.

Nope.

no

Had 2 strangers ringing the doorbell at 8am this morning and they woke us up. Why would random strangers do that at 8am? I peeked through the window upstairs and didn't open the door. Would you have opened the door at that time if you just woke up?
