My front door has abit of frosted glass, if I reconise the person then yes I will open it. When I see one or two people holding a clipboard then no I wont answer it. I dont want to listen to sales people at my door telling me ten tons of b - sh*t. But thats my choice.

Why the question anyway? Seriously who cares!

I did learn today that prison in English is the same in French - that was one of the words that I recognised. The gist I got was that he was recently released.

I wouldn't answer at night unless someone was expected, that's about it though.

I don't (ok, rarely)open the door if I am not expecting anyone. Nothing to do with fear, but I have little tolerance for unsolicited callers. Friends/family know to always call me to arrange beforehand, so I figure any other callers are likely to be those I don't want to deal with-salespeople, JW's etc. My DH thinks I am weird, but I have always been like it. My home is my haven and I seriously resent any intrusions-however transient/minor.

I am wary of answering the door and phone. I am sick of stopping whatever I am doing to be met with Bailiffs (not my debt), Sherrifs officers serving papers (again not for me), people of dubious nature hunting for previous tenant, threatening phone calls, silent phone calls (at 6am I might add). So quite often I think fuck it I've just sat down I'm not in the mood for another argument/mouthful of abuse. Can call me lazy, stupid if you like but personally I think I would be more stupid to keep listening to it.

I live on my own, so am nearly always alone when the doorbell goes. It has never occured to me that I'm meant to be afraid of something/someone. [Once it was a hunky fireman who'd got the wrong address, so it was quite a nice surprise. If it's the JW I politely and firmly tell them 'no thanks', which doesn't take long.]
