View submission: Do you open doors to strangers?

View parent comment

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.

This is why I was raised that you knock on the door and then step back 3-4 paces so there is a clear gap between you and the home owner when they come to the door.

That is so fucked, and I am so sorry that happened to you. Sending a hug for you, and an asswhopping for him, your way.
