@aeronmelon who opens their door anymore when someone knocks?

Unless I'm expecting you, there's no point. You don't need to know my schedule or what the inside of my house looks like.

@thesystemisdown right anyone I'm expecting will have called first. Everybody else can fuck right off. XD

I do, for when a neighbor kid kicked a ball in my yard and they are asking for it back.

I set up a sensor so I know not to go downstairs if someone is at the door. I'm not putting on pants.

I can hear that neighbors kid screaming now, promising never to bother you again
