Someone At Door 😣

[spagbol11]

It’s 19.13, I’ve just put 2yo dd to bed, done all my housework, been at work all day, so about to have a lovely hot bath and someone is knocking at my door, door is locked, not expecting anyone, my dp is working nights. AIBU not to answer or even check who it is...I’m scared

It 1913. Open the door.

I’d ask who it is through the door personally. Then decide!

Scared?? Get a grip!

Prob a charity or cold caller

Ignore ignore ignore. If it's someone you know they have your number. If it was the police they'd knock more insistantly. If it's a stranger then they can get to fuck knocking tbh!!

Ask who it is?..

Are there really people who are scared when someone comes at the door?

Don't open the door. Either ignore or speak through it. You are under no obligation to open your door to anyone, especially if you feel apprehensive.

I'd be freaked out too, nobody calls around uninvited here! Ignore it. Or run upstairs and try to see who it is out of the window!

Why are you scared

By the time you posted this they would have already gone so......

Do you have a security chain you can put on before opening? I understand how you feel - I automatically feel panicky if the door bell rings at an unusual time.

It's the neighbour, caught short and wanting to borrow a bedtime nappy. Get a grip.

I would assume it was a parcel... maybe for a neighbour

someone just knocked on my door, it was the window cleaner.

It's not late, it'll be no one scary.

Can’t believe your first thought is to start a thread about it....

It could be your neighbour!!! This one is up to you OP...good luck x

To the posters saying just open the door- not helpful, I have 2 children in the house and am home alone. It’s dark and I don’t want the dog to wake dd up. Can’t of been important they have stopped now.

Ignore it! I never answer the door when I am home alone, no one would show up unannounced here so it’s either someone selling, neighbours or a parcel (which they leave in the porch if I don’t answer) go have your bath!

Why are you scared? Its 7 in the evening not midnight. And they just rang your bell, they didn’t attempt to break in! Dozens of perfectly innocent reasons - pizza delivery meant for neighbour or an chugger or someone from the Mormons.

How long did they knock for?

Your scared because someone knocked your door at 19 13? Why has nobody not even a charity collector or similar ever knocked your door? Or a courier asking you to take a parcel for someone?

If you don’t want to answer then don’t but I think being scared is a bit OTT

How do people live?!

Why the fuck are you scared of the door?

shush—I was thinking that 🙄 xx

Well you did ask if you were BU so why moan when people say yes you were.
My 5 year old doesn’t freak if the doorbell goes at 7.15pm- I think it’s pretty odd a fully grown woman does. 🙄

I don't open the door to randoms, day or night. Your door your choice.
