What do you do?
Me personally i ignore it.. my mates text/call before nipping round. Best mate just walks in. And if i'm not expecting a delivery then i know its just likely to be sales pitches.
I do the whole snooping thing through the window to see if i can identify the person at the door too.
Im a proper grumpy person when im disturbed at home lol |

We have cctv up outside our door we just change the channel or look on our phones , to see if it is worth answering.
Most of the time is for the kids anyway and we are not their door openers lol |

I ignore it as well. My neighbour has a big 'welcome to our house blah blah sign' on her door. I have a 'f off no unsolicited calls' sign on mine. If I am off work used to get loads of charity workers, energy companies etc. Does my head in!! |

Crikey. I always answer the door, even if it is someone trying to save my soul from coming to a sticky end. Anyone comes round to mine, they get the door answered, the offer of a toffee or a kitkat and then sent on their way. When I had the police around last year following me confronting a burglar next door, he got offered a brew, a spot of lunch as it was that time and left with an orange kitkat.  |

What? For real? Some of you guys don't open the door? I always open it..but then again, it's usually always friends and family popping over.
I thought it would have been the phone that people wouldn't answer due to caller display. There's some i know who call and just chat shit all the time - sometimes i haven't got time to listen to their ramblings so i wouldn't pick up.
...hmmm. interesting. And here i was planning on turning up with some chicken, maoam, choccie cake and custard.

I live in an apartment block with an intercom so luckily I just have to speak through that. I've had a d*unken neighbour forget the key code to get into the building buzz me at 3am continuously for 30 mins once, he saw my snappy side! |

"I also ignore it but you never know if its a horny girl outside in need lol."
i feel your pain. The attire some ladies answer the door in is great. Best yet - the lady who's dressing gown fell open when she opened the door, narrowly beats the blonde polish lady answers the door in a babydoll nightie. I could barely get ny pitch out in either case |

Would look out of the window to see if they were worth inviting in.
We were having a bit of a play once before the plumber came and he turned up early, so I ended up answering the door in my dressing gown with a slightly obvious bulge. Shame he wasn't out type, but he must have noticed.  |

Neighbours here all welcome each other and we support and help out, so knocks get answered. Cold callers are told to leave. Anon and spam phone callers are usually ignored or asked to remove the no from their lists. |
