If there’s some random person knocking on my door.
I make sure they know I’m home, but I don’t answer the door. I make sure they know someone is home so they don’t try to break in, if they are looking to do that. But even if I am home, I’m not obligated to open my door for any of the solicitors. I never do. They can knock as long as they want, if they so choose. The door stays closed. Just like I don’t answer phone callsfor which I don’t recognize the phone numbers from caller id. If it’s important enough, they’ll leave a message
