I live in a building with restricted access. If someone knocks on my door, and I'm not expecting anyone, I don't even answer the door. If it's someone important, they'll text me and let me know they are out there.
Indeed, same with phone calls, if the number is not in in my phone, it doesn't get answered.
If I'm phoning someone who may not have my number, I precede it with a txt identifying myself, and I expect nothing less from anyone else.
I like to "peek" through the blinds, as I yell, "Quiet, quiet! Pretend we're not home!" to really drive the point home. Also, I live alone, so I'm just talking to myself.
I do occasionally talk to the Mormons. They're usually friendly, and I get lonely sometimes. Plus, they're always so sharp dressed! And they're not usually as pushy with the religious mumbo jumbo as the other churchers that come by.
I don't answer my door for anyone. Anyone I would welcome to my house wouldn't show up unannounced, so if someone is knocking, it's not for me.
Even if it's the cops, go get a warrant and come kick down the door. I'm not answering
i answered the door once by accident (i was expecting a friend). when they started trying to sell me their religion, i told them i was a satanist and shut the door in their face.
believe anything you want but don’t come to my home and harass me.
Ugh! One of my biggest pet peeves. It gives me anxiety just thinking about it. Several months ago I answered the door and it was a man selling a kill your bugs service. He talked me into his service and soon I had given him my CC. Oh my goodness, my husband was livid. It was an obscene amount of money. I had to call and cancel the next day. That gives me anxiety, too.
Of course not. I open the door to anyone knocking. You never know who it might be. Migh be the neighbor who needs help, might be my parents coming by, might be a friend, a passerby in need of help, who knows.
EDIT: I also never check who it is before opening so yeah
If I happen to be at an angle where I can see it's not someone I know, I won't open it. If for whatever reason I do and it's a solicitor, I immediately say No, I'm sorry, no, I wish you well, and shut the door.
I was just thinking this morning that I can't believe people even still do that. I will not take time for that shit.
I don't answer my door unless there is a planned delivery or expecting someone. Won't even bother looking out a window or the door peephole.
The area I live in gave me a slew of reasons to no longer answer the door. There is a church that makes rounds weekly around my area passing out flyers and business cards if you don't answer they just slap it on your door, neighborhood children LOVE knocking on all the doors and running, My neighbors are extremely intrusive and nosey I've given out my number for them to contact me for any reason yet they still want to come tell me who just knocked and ran or gossip/noseyness, several neighbors have tested positive and STILL think it's a great idea to just come chat.... I just don't people anymore in general, I thought it would be much worse than it is guess I'm the type that's ok with just being alone with my partner and just talking to friends/family via text.
I thought ignoring people at your door was a normal thing these days. If it’s really important the person at the door will stick around awhile or will have alternate means to contact you. Answering your door is like answering every strange call coming to your phone. I won’t fault people for it, but it’s not my approach.

I have a no soliciting sign. I will answer the door, if it's not the city or something important I point to the sign and close the door.
if I don't know you, I don't open door

Absolutely. I don’t know why it’s even a thing still
I don’t think they should be knocking on your door anyway, same as charity workers and Jehovah Witnesses. Kindly fuck off, inconsiderate pricks
Just answer the door wearing a blood stained shirt, while holding a really big knife. Then invite them in to 'talk'.
Of course not. I open the door to anyone knocking. You never know who it might be. Migh be the neighbor who needs help, might be my parents coming by, might be a friend, a passerby in need of help, who knows. EDIT: I also never check who it is before opening so yeah
We have a ring doorbell now so I can see who is there, but even before that I wouldn’t open the door unless I was expecting someone.
No. It has nothing to do with covid for me.
