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.

I usually shoot a few rounds through the door from my 9mm Glock. They always either run or crawl away.

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

Rabscuttle · 41-45

Answer the door, obviously. Are you a toddler?

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@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

hunkalove · 70-79, M

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.

WanderingHelplessly · 51-55, M

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.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@WanderingHelplessly sounds about right

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

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 to 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?

Mamapolo2016 · F

@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.

OutoftheGloom · 46-50, F

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?

ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

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

Chern0bylplaygr0unds

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?

Chern0bylplaygr0unds

@Dan193 I make barking noises

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

JustNik · 51-55, F

@Dan193 not lost, just upset and far from where they wanted to be. One didn’t know how to get to the homeless shelter from here and the other was a young drunk girl who’d been abandoned by her ride nearby at 3 a.m. I spose we just live close enough to the heart of town that these things are more likely.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@JustNik that's interesting, also it takes guts to knock on a stranger's door and ask for a ride

JustNik · 51-55, F

@Dan193 right?? I couldn’t do it! I’m no better at knocking on a door than answering one lol

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

Fuck that. I'm on the toilet.

Frostcloud · F

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.

taneegoan · 31-35, F

there is a window in some distance of my preset rented house I open that and try to feel the situation and if satisfied then open door if not just ignored

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. ;)

OlderSometimesWiser · F

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 )

Munumbis · 46-50, M

People leave their lights on when their gone. Either way I don't have to open my door for anyone.

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

lissah · 36-40, F

I dont answer the door for strangers. Doesnt matter if my lights or on or not.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@lissah does it happen?

greensnacks · F

You underestimate my desire to be left alone. I won't open.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@greensnacks what if they ring again?

greensnacks · F

@Dan193 you ignore

InfoTunaBotTheReturn

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?

InfoTunaBotTheReturn

@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.

Prettybratbi1tch · 26-30, F

Not open it

meggie · F

We have a door camera so can see who it is. A scruffy looking woman with a clipboard rang the other day and we ignored her.
