Jesus. Sometimes I forget how... special a lot of Gaf is. So much paranoia.
Tell me more about these five landmines.
How do you ever receive deliveries if you don't answer the door?
And that is exactly why I don't answer the door when I'm not expecting someone/something. It has nothing to do with bring asocial or paranoid, I just don't want to waste my time with these people.I always answer the door but I really need to stop, it's almost always solicitors or church people. So annoying.
Can't you people just be normal for once.
I read all these "95% of the time it's just salesmen and Jehova Witnesses" and I get it but what about the other legit 5%? What if some neighbors have lost their dog or someone is trying to organize a food drive or someone's car has overheated right in front of your house and just need some tap water to cool it? That very same thing happened to me like a year ago. Such an egotistical attitude.

These are literally not my problem. My door isn't an invitation for me to solve some randos problems.

Although you may feel invincible now, some day you may need the help of a neighbor in a pinch.

Why are so many people so weird on GAF? Is it the gaming social ineptitude thing or a millennial thing?
I'm in my 40's so when do you think that will be? Next year or the one after that? If I already have a relationship with a neighbor that's mutually beneficial they have the ways to contact me already.
I would think someone in their 40s would know anything can happen at anytime.

Shocked by everyone calling people weirdos for not answering the door. Y'all must have never lived in a rough area.
What most people in this topic are missing is that for many it's not fear or living in a rough area but people just wanting stuff from you and interrupting your personal time. I don't want to buy what you are selling, I'm an atheist, I'm not fixing your problems if you have not built up a relationship with me.
Getting to know your neighbours and doing some kind gestures here and there are part of social interaction, and in that specific case the claims of antisocial behaviour are justified.
How do you think that I have built up a relationship with people without doing that? You've ignored half my post. I'm specifically talking about people I don't know.
