Do you always answer the door?

[gravitas]

If its a saturday or sunday afternoon and the doorbell rings 99 times out of a 100 the person/people are there to either sell some shit I don't need or are trying to save my soul. In both instances I'm just as happy to tell them to fuck off and die. Prior to installing the cameras I would probably answer the door 40% - 50% of the time, but now I can just take a quick boo and see who's there and decide accordingly. Problem is this is only one way communication. What I really need to install next is a door phone so I can tell the offending solicitor to pack sand. This would be handy since I normally have the radio or music on while at home and that correctly has the caller understand someone's there and then they ring or knock a little longer.

Case in point today. Having a very relaxing day, nice jazz in the CD player, sipping my coffee and reading Biohazard (if you're interested in germ/chemical warfare its a great book) and sure enough the doorbell rings. Ehhhhh....not even going to bother to look but they ring again and then follow up with knocking So, thinking it may be a legitimate visitor I take a look and no, its a pair of SDA's or JW's and a little kid all decked out in their spanky black suits. Business must have been slow cause the stood in front of my door for at least 5 minutes.

One more reason I'll be happier once I can retire and move away from this annoying thing called civilization.

I only answer if there is a female hottie at the door (which is about 1/10). I used to get these Jehovah Witnesses... they finally got the hint with me... but they still bug my neighbours...

I once had this young girl in braces with these HUGE tits for her age at my door... it could have been a stuffed bra actually... but anyways, she was trying to sell me a subscription to the Province and Sun... but I already had one! Something tells me this was a scam she thought of for extra spending money... hmmmm...

I rarely answer the door unless I'm dressed and good to go. If I look like shit on a stick that just woke up all lounging around in my bath-robe etc.... then fukk it. I aint answereing the door for jack.

On the other hand like i said if I look respectable I will answer the door simply because I wanna know who is at my house. I got no problem saying "NO" as I'm sure they hear it alot, and if it's some kid selling shit....well sorry kid; get used to it because "NO" is something your gonna hear alot in life.

As far as hotties go, 1/1000 is about closer to that ratio

I hate the fuckin people who stand there like assholes and knock knock knock, ring ring ring, WTF?

My front door has a panel of glass in a separate sealed unit running down one side it's a frosted pattern with small spaces of clear glass here and there, the fuckers who really piss me off are the ones who will cup their hands over the fuckin clear parts and peer through to try and SEE if anyone is home!
Times like that wish I had a rottweiler to send out the door!

I have a similar set up with my front door. I am amazed how many people will do the looky-loo thing. It makes me want to sneak up to the door and scream "PEEK-A-BOO, I SEE YOU!" thru the glass.

 

[n2supersymmetry]

I never answer the door unless I am informed before hand someone is coming ... if you think you are important enough for me to open the door then you have my number or email to inform me you are going to show up at such and such a time.
I don't care how hot or how important you think you are ... no advance notice ... no entry.

amazing isn't it? takes obnoxious to a whole new level!

Hell if i don't answer when they knock and I AM at home, then don't bother peeking through my fuckin glass cause i am not answering ON PURPOSE ya dumb shit!

You need a "release the hounds" button that Mr. Burns uses.

Now, back on the topic of hotties... Hitrack said it was more like 1/1000... man, that is a lot of people at Hitrack's house over the years! Hitrack, you must be a superstar!

Every year around this time I've had some scrawny annoying dude knock on my door for College Pro painters... it's always a guy and they never get the time of day with me... but this year, I actually saw a cute girl at the door... I mean, no supermodel or anything, but a definite 7.0-8.0 on the MARS scale... in other words, with the right getup, she was definitely f$ckable. It's almost like Colleg Pro painters had a meeting this year, and reviewed all the stats... and decided to hire a predominantly female staff to go door to door. It might have worked on me if she offered to throw in a blowjob with the paintjob... lol just kiddin'

I actually had a sign out that said "no soliciting" and you know what, it worked... it looked so ugly so eventually I took it off, but since taking it off, soliciting has gone WAY down... probably because most of the solicitors were "regulars" and got the hint... the one that I always remember is the high school girl with the big tits... it's almost like she was on a streak of hustling guys... realizing she could get what she wanted with her tits... until she ran into me...

I mean c'mon... u wanna a $10 deposit for a newspaper subscription when I already subscribe to both... nice try... I could see the look of rejection in her face when I denied her... like I was the first person to shoot her down that night...

As for the JW... pamflits? You mean Pamphlets? hehe... I know my grammar hasn't been the best in the business lately, but man, that is almost "Sweet Kiss" like grammar. Anyways, it's not the damn pamphlets they are trying to sell u... they are trying to eventually to get your house signed over to them... haven't u seen the Simpsons parody with "The Leader" of the "Movementarians?" That was one of the best episodes ever!

This thread reminds me of an old joke.

Q: What do you get when you cross a Jehovah's Witness with a Hell's Angel?

A: A guy who comes to your door and tells YOU to fuck off!

 

[pickupjoe]

no way I answer if ya havn't been invited or if I don't know know ya. Most time there selling shit, wanting money for something or a scaming for money. I turn on the radio or TV full blast and if they are that stupid enuff not get the hint. Yell to them to FO and the sound of my shotgun being cocked sends them packin.

 

[gravitas]

Wow.....I'm actually rather surprised by the responses I've had in this thread.

I thought I was being overly antisocial in not answering the door but it seems as though I'm not the only one.

last time i answered the door, the guy tried to break in! i think he got a bit of a shock to find a 220lbs ex-nose-tackle on the other side who may not be in shape but remembers how to push back!

doofus landed on his ass, jumped up and ran like a QB during a blitz!

note to self: get cleats on the bunny slippers!

 

[gravitas]

how to push back!

Hope you had a few steps for him fall down.

get cleats on the bunny slippers!

LMAO

Nope

When someone rings my buzzer at the front door my TV swiches to a close circut channel, so I can see who's there, if I'm not expecting them I'don't bother to answer

[wolverine]

I answer the door naked (except for a pair of rubber gloves on my hands) and with a wet, gleaming and throbbing erection. I simply tell them I'm in the middle of something and that their reason for interrupting me should best be quite important.
