Have you ever slammed the door in someone's face?

[PinkWaterBottle2021]

I was listening to an audiobook this morning and one of the characters did it. Got me wondering about whether this is still a thing? Was it ever?

I did it once to an ex. Turned up on my doorstep having cycled over (pissed). I had already changed my phone number (days before blocking I think). It was dark and as soon as I saw him I just told him to go away and shut the door behind him. He then snapped my car number plate as he left. I called the police afterwards I think - non emergency number who then must have visited and warned him off.

That was over 20 years ago and I'd forgotten about it until now. Slamming the door is such a 'statement'. What if it had escalated. I didn't think at the time.

Anyway - just got me thinking!

As a teenager, i was bullied relentlessly. One day she came to my house because my parents were out. I snapped and kicked the door closed on her and her hand was in the door. Broke her fingers. Still bullied me until I snapped again

Yes a few times - slightly different though. If someone had been walking behind me and I am going through a door, I have been known to let it go in their face. (Not random people, just people I don't like)

Yep. Ex friend. Dh and I were good friends with both her and her dh. They had a child, moved in around the corner and suddenly she left her dh. We tried to remain neutral and said we weren't going to take sides etc etc.
One night the h had come over to talk to dh as he was distraught. Next thing she is hammering on the door screeching because she'd seen his car outside . How dare we have him in etc etc. I physically threw her through the front door and slammed it on her very shocked face.

Turned out she had been seeing someone else for months, even let their house purchase complete before deciding to leave. She was an utter bitch who made friends life a misery for years over access to their son.
Still see him now and he'll often fondly recall the night I launched her up the path 😂
