      To be fair, the vast majority of the time someone is at my door that I’m not expecting, they’re trying to sell me shit I don’t care about. I do not answer my door.

      one of the perks of living in an apartment, the outer door is locked so if someone’s knocking on my door it all but has to be the neighbours and they’re not gonna bother me for no reason.

        I live online, no one I know lives anywhere close enough to casually visit me, let alone just pop over unannounced. If someone rings my doorbell they either want to sell me something or are dropping a package off. Either way, why go to the door?

          My door is just really far from my bed, and opening it to then see someone I don’t want to see is just too much effort. And everybody I want to see knows to text ahead.

          I don’t live online, but I don’t have friends in my neighborhood. In addition, I work from home and I record music at home. My friends know not to drop by unannounced because they could be interrupting one of those things. In that case they spent half an hour driving to my place just to catch me grumpy and telling them it’s not a great time.

          Your neighbor telling you that you left your car’s window open. Or you have a leakage/broken pipe/your roof is on fire/something is wrong that is advised to be taken care sooner rather than later. There can be legit reasons why people are trying to warn you in your home who don’t know your online handles.
