Babies: 9 - 12 Months
I hate being home alone when someone knocks on the door...
Some douche just came to the door wanting to know if we wanted our driveway repaved. He was here Saturday because he was doing the guy's across the street and DH told him if we were interested we would call him. Ok first of all you knock on my door=dog barking=waking up my kid, so now you have royally pissed me off. Second he would not take no for an answer! He wanted to know if my husband was home, what time he'd be back. He asked me to go call him while he waited at my door, wtf?? Now I'm all freaked out and have every door locked, I'm such a sissy lala.

Ugh. That annoys me. WTF. Why does he need to talk to your husband?! I would have told him to shove it, b/c that's the kinda girl I am.
I answered the door the other week and it was a bunch of cute little old ladies, but they were Jehovah's Witnesses. I respect that it is part of their religion to spread the word, so I answered b/c I felt bad. But they gave me some "reading" and told me they'd be back to discuss it with me....
Now I`m terrified of when they come back b/c I'm definitely not interested in converting, but I`m scared to tell the old ladies to beat it....
I don't open the door to people I don't know - ever.
A weird neighbor came to my door once when I was single and lived in a high rise. I recognized him so opened the door. I was home alone. He asked if he could come in and use my phone. I got a weird vibe so told him that my boyfriend was in the shower and would freak out if a strange man was in my apartment. But if he had an emergency I could let him borrow my cell phone. He said never mind and left.
He was later arrested for attacking another woman in the building.
DMoney will be a kickass big sister
I normally never do when DH isn't home, but I wanted my dog to stfu. My storm door is always locked so it's not like he could have stormed in or anything. However lesson learned, I will not be answering the door ever for anything again. Not worth the anxiety I have now about him coming back and trying to kill me (yes my mind goes there) I watch way too much Investigation Discovery lol.
They came to my house on Saturday. I didn't even let the lady get 2 words out before I told her I wasn't interested and shut the door. I hate those people!
I usually thank them for stopping by, and tell them that I'm very happy in my religion, and am don't have the time to look through their reading. If they offer to leave something I decline.
I was ready with a flip response expecting this to be an overreacting to possible danger post. I was wrong.
That is aggressive and creepy behavoir from the 'contractor'. I'd get his name and contact info from your neighbour.
Pity about the barking dog.
It is this kind of story that makes me feel better about being a bit OCD about locked doors and windows. ?DH thinks I am a little over the top but ILs think I am crazy. ?They don't understand why I don't leave the garage doors open all day, why I want a new storm door with a working lock and why I insist on locking the back door even though it means I have to unlock to let the dog in/out. ?To me these are such small things and only take a minute. ?They think because we live in a safe established neighborhood I am overreacting. ?What is to keep people from I don't know...driving into our neighborhood? ?It is not like we live behind a 60ft fence!
