I do this when picking up my kids from their friends houses, to save me having to have an awkward conversation with the friends parent

#84

Last time someone knocked unexpectedly it was my weird neighbour complaining that we were making too much noise when we were literally just eating dinner and watching Malcolm in the Middle. Never answering the door again.

#85

Ugh my mate Rob does this. Sends a snapchat like “open the door”. I’m like RING THE FUCKING DOORBELL THEN I KNOW YOU’RE HERE omg what are we like hun?

The honk of the horn when outside has gone out of fashion

I answer the door, yeah.
It’s mostly always deliveries and I’m always in my PJs. I do get some funny looks.
YES I AM IN MY PJs AT 3PM ON A TUESDAY, WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE

Also our postmen seem to be VERY aggressive these days and it’s actually really pissing me off. They’ll ring the doorbell for my flat and the one above and instantly start punching the front door
give us a fucking chance

omg it was the same person too!

worst person at the door:

  • postie
  • postie with something for next door but they’re not in can you take it?
  • MP / MPs minions
  • charity people
  • your mate unexpectedly! and they’ve somehow bypassed the first layer of door security and are right outside your flat so you don’t even have those precious 30secs you could have tidied up even slightly

my neighbours are all cunts so that one properly does my head in

Always answer the door. Its either a delivery (fine) or the lady downstairs has locked herself out of the building again (also fine, she’s 86)

A friend did call by unannounced earlier this year. It was 8pm. I was in my PJs. He laughed and said, “PJ’s in his PJs.” I told him to fuck off and not come back.

#94

I always answer - and 9/10 I regret it - usually an idiot neighbour asking me something stupid and getting in my way, but sometimes it’s the postman bringing me a present

#95

‘Better go answer the door in care it’s something really important…
…

Oh hello pauline, you want to come in and talk about some stupid neighbourhood thing that I don’t care about? Well it’s not really a great time as I’ve got this project on and the deadline is today and… oh it won’t take long you say… I really do need to get on and finish this… oh you’ve come into my home… yes we have got a new kettle, you’ve one like it yourself do you? that’s just great…’

Etc!

You had a LITERAL reason to fire out “Don’t you darken my door again” here you know.

What a waste. What a waste.

Our postman is a right weird cunt. Just grunts back or completely blanks you if you say ‘Morning’ to him or whatever. Even when he comes to the door for a signature, he will not engage in conversation.

i worked as a postie for 6 months or so, the job seemed to attract some proper weird blokes

#100

the guy that lives in the flat next to me is a postie but i see him so infrequently i always forget what he looks like so i’ll see him walking up the stairs on his way home and i’ll ask him if he’s got anything for number 3 and he’ll sort of laugh and then i remember he’s not an actual postie he’s just going home. he must think i’m making a really shit joke every time i see him.

Mine’s always up for a chat. Mostly because I often have square shaped packages delivered (ie. vinyl records). The postie’s a norther soul fan and record buyer and is interested in other people’s vinyl too.
