If it was ever not about selling (product, religion, candidate) maybe it wouldn’t be so awful to have your door knocked. I don’t mind if it’s about a lost dog or kid, or maybe someone with baked goods saying hi. But no, it’s always someone trying to get you into their pipeline. Someone who doesn’t see you as a person, but only as a lead.
Fucking people. Get off my porch, lawn—just back all the way out of sight.
It’s worth at least peeking through the peephole first, once I had a couple of kids whose older sibling had flaked out on picking them up and they were trying to find someone who would let them borrow their phone to call for a ride.
Every other time it was Jehovah’s Witnesses, though.
I’ve had people knock on my door trying to push stuff that I even agree with: fixing climate change, helping the homeless, anti-trump stuff…
And I still want them to GTFO. If someone interrupts my day, I’m not gonna listen to their pitch at all. It has to be something important, and something that I can help with right now.
I was just knocking on some doors to save their rental units from being replaced and them being kicked out. Hopefully that’s a valid reason to door knock.

Got a ring, but I don’t even like talking through it. I just look and hope they go away. But sometimes I have to ask.
