If they buzz again I ask who it is, but I don't buzz people in the building without knowing who they are. We don't live in a great neighborhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176680 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:44:00 +0000 mediagirl 176680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never open the door for solicitors anymore. We do peer through the peep hole to see who it is. Yes, our dog goes crazy, too. :-) We are actually getting a no soliciting sign so they stop. I swear, we have one a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176655 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:00:53 +0000 Andrea 176655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretend I am not home, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176653 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:59:38 +0000 Grace 176653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always open the door hoping it's the Girl Guides with their cookies! It almost never is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176318 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:38:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 176318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually open the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176315 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:36:59 +0000 chopsuey 176315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never open the door!

If I'm in our basement or in the bedrooms though I'll totally play not home haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176283 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:19:19 +0000 heffalump 176283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard for me to do that now with LO. She makes a lot of noise so they know I'm home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176281 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:18:55 +0000 Adira 176281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ALWAYS pretend I'm not home! Especially if I'm alone. I'll just turn the TV down and wait until they leave! It helps that our doorbell is broken too, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176278 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:17:44 +0000 singingbee 176278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally! Or I'll open the door, but only a crack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/answer-the-door#post-176275 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 13:17:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 176275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When the doorbell rings and I'm not expecting anyone, 9 times out of 10 I will play "not home." I usually go and peak out the bedroom window to see who it is to make sure it's not family/friends, but if it's someone selling something I play gone...even with the dog going crazy! ha Anyone else do this? </p>
