View submission: Do you open doors to strangers?
I don’t open my front door unless I know who’s on the other side of it. Although my main door is open, and my screen door is locked most of the time.

Same. When we first bought our house someone knocked on the door and I peaked and saw a brown shirt and thought it was UPS. Opened the door and quickly realized it was not and it was someone from ADT selling home security. I was polite and let him do his bit and then told him l wasn’t interested but thanks. He proceeded to yell at me and got aggressive - I was a 34 year old woman, home alone. I told him point blank to get off my property. After closing the door I was shaking.

I do open my door. Unless the story on the other side of the video door bell sounds shady. This has happened once.
I have had my home broken into, and one car stolen. Both while I was home. They don’t use the front door. Front door is way too bold for criminals, too much light, and a stringer door. Garage, side door, back door, all more vulnerable and more private.
You are free to do what you wish though.
