they come to our house about every month or so. but they've learned not to knock and just leave us a magazine. it's not that we're rude--we just never answer the door. (because it is your right, of course, to open your front door only when someone you want to see is on the other side.)

I do not get alot, but, enough.  They are obnoxious.\n\nI do two different things.  One, I make sure they can hear noise inside, so they know someone is home, and I never open the door.  I let them knock and knock to their heart's desire.\n\nOr, if it is Saturday, I open the door, and tell them how rude and disrespectful they are to disturb my Shabbat.  They see the Mezazah on my doorpost.  Then, I firmly, and loudly, shut the door in their faces.

I would have done the same.  Ya never know what someone will assume you did, especially the police.  Its not your fault the door was unlocked and you should not have been put in that situation anyway.  You shouldnt feel bad at all.

Yes, took a few trips to get through it though.  Stephen King.  No, it is not wrong as long as you get up when someone knocks on the door.

The more important question to ask is whether your door is up to the task....

This tradition dates back to the times when children lived at home unil they married, and were very much under the control of their parents. The voting age was twenty-one, when 'adult status' was officially conferred, and as Whickerman advises, a front door key was issued for independent access to the family home.  As an adult, you were considered free to come and go as you pleased rather than according to your parents' wishes. Thus, you were now entitled to "the key of the door".  (It's a British tradition.)

I would lock the door personally. Most people don't knock before they open a closed door. Also I would expect the guest to do the same thing. It prevents embarrassments

I'm not sure. However I can tell you this, STOP trying so hard (if you are) when you act as if you could take them or leave them, they should be knocking down your door.

No way!!  They are for criminals or thieves that need to be locked out.

ok so somebody told you not to come into his system and your trying to hack back in anyway. Do you refuse to leave a party when told to leave? Do you just walk into anyone's home without an invite?

Always.  A wise man once said, "Just because someone is knocking on your door, it doesn't mean you have to open it."

Lock all doors at all times. Keep spares at relatives houses and not outside somewhere. IF no relatives keep somewhere that's not easily seen or at neighbors. Don't get so drunk you forget to lock the doors.

i do hold the door if the woman behind me is reasonably close, say 20 feet.  that's courtesy.\n\ni won't hold the door for a woman two blocks away.  that's stalking.\n\nlong live chivalry!!  to scotland!!
