What would u do if your door bell rang and it was dark outside?

Like it's still 7-8 p.m so it's not middle of the night, but it is already dark, because let's say it gets dark at 5-6 p.m around that time of the year. Also your lights are on, so u can't pretend you're not at home.

Answer the door, obviously. Are you a toddler?

@Rabscuttle I'm asking the questions here
Rabscuttle · 41-45
@Dan193 We're ALL asking the questions here.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Rabscuttle no under my post. I get seniooority

I don't go to the door unless I know who it is and it's someone I like. Which means I almost never go to the door.

If they were knocking, I knew they were coming. If it's dark out, I'm not opening the door unless I know they're coming.

@WanderingHelplessly sounds about right

Would assume it was one of my neighbors as I live in a pretty safe neighborhood
@Dan193 A man knocked on my door around 10 pm. He wanted sell me dog food he said he had in his backpack. I think he was a beginner.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Mamapolo2016 ha wtf that's crazy. Did u tell them u don't have a dog?
@Dan193 No, I DO have a dog. I did tell him a truth, though, that what he was doing was a really bad idea. He seemed to agree because he ran away.

I'd put the chain on first but I'd want to find out who it was.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@OutoftheGloom wish me door came with a chain. Sounds useful in situations like this.
OutoftheGloom · 46-50, F
@Dan193 get one fitted?
Amazon delivery man has been known to knock on the door late. Door to door sellers as well although I’ve usually clocked them before they get to mine as I watch them knock on my neighbours first.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Gingerbreadspice good thinking, I suspected a delivery person too afterwards

Turn on the porch light and look out the peephole in the door, then decide whether to open it, call the cops, or just let the 120-pound pit bull bark at the door.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@ChipmunkErnie good call
NinaTina · 31-35, F
I got cameras
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@NinaTina what if they look into the camera and sign u with their hands to open up? x )
NinaTina · 31-35, F
@Dan193 I talk and say no ,how can I help you
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@NinaTina oh right
I'd peak out the window and if I don't know them I don't go to the door
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Chern0bylplaygr0unds haha what if they look at u as you move your blinds to peek?
JustNik · 51-55, F
I beg to differ. I absolutely can pretend I’m not at home. lol There is a camera. If I don’t know them I generally don’t answer. If my husband’s home he nearly always answers regardless. Twice he’s given someone a ride home. Braver than me lol
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@JustNik wow really? Were they lost to need a ride?
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Fuck that. I'm on the toilet.

i was raised to never answer the door and someone knocking/ringing the bell triggers my flight response in the most ridiculous way no matter the time of day. 3pm and someone knocks the door i am on the floor or skedaddling to my room lol. my roommate leaves the lights on when we're sleeping or not in the house so that doesn't even matter

if there's any reason for us to be talking you'd be on my phone not my doorstep
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Frostcloud yeah, I know, if it's somebody u know they usually at least text u before showing up.
sarabee1995 · 31-35, F
I'd look at the camera pic that is already in my notifications on my phone from the doorbell camera and decide if whoever it is is worth getting up off the couch for. ;)
Revanchist · 31-35, M
I absolutely can pretend I’m not home and that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@Revanchist But your light is on and they yell "I know your home, open up" 😂 ok I made up that last part
You underestimate my desire to be left alone. I won't open.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@greensnacks what if they ring again?
@Dan193 you ignore
I just answer it wearing this.

@Dan193 If I’m in a good mood, I’ll even offer them a sandwich.

Dan193 · 31-35, M
@OlderSometimesWiser too many veggies, should be a strip of bacon instead x )

I dont answer the door for strangers. Doesnt matter if my lights or on or not.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@lissah does it happen?
Answer it if I can be bothered to. If I can't then I'll just ignore it. I have a doorbell camera and high mounted CCTV so I can see who it is anyway.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@InfoTunaBotTheReturn who needs to be for u to go open up?
@Dan193 The police, a parcel delivery or a family member. That's pretty much it.
Dan193 · 31-35, M
@InfoTunaBotTheReturn fair enough. I didn't think about the police
Adrift · 61-69, F
I would just ignore it if it wasn't someone I knew.
It is most likely someone I didn't want to talk too anyway.
No I dont want to buy anything, Jesus isn't here, and I already know who I am voting for.
