Hi all.
Do you get all anxious when someone knocks on your front door and you just want them to go away? The abruptness and unknown makes me really tense. Needless to say, I never answer my door unless I am expecting someone or a package. If it's important they can text me (should they have my number) or drop a note through my letter box or something.
I also don't answer phone calls from unknown or numbers that I don't recognise. If it's important, they usually text or leave a voicemail.
This is truly one of biggest peeves.
There's unannounced people soliciting - no and never. I get quite angry at the shock of the door being knocked to see someone stood with a clipboard.
There's waiting for a visit (tradesperson etc) - please be on time.
Then there's friends where I wish I could respond better but I've explained to my small circle that I find it difficult to deal with unannounced visits, so thankfully they're rare.
Reading about ring doorbells makes me think I should invest, at the moment I check through my window (first floor flat)
