I've just had a very loud aggressive knock on my front door. I think I know who it was. It was the TV License goons as I don't watch live television or have a license. That's not the main issue though, as threads have been done about that already.

I'm not very well today, I have a tummy bug so I am having a 'lazy' day resting up and not feeling too great. Unless I am expecting somebody, I never answer the door. I have all of my lights off regardless, so it looks as if the house is empty. I am in bed listening to an audio book.

Are there other people out there who simply refuse to answer the door if they are not expecting anybody or a delivery? The reason I think it was the TVL goons was because the knock wasn't a 'normal' knock, it was very loud and more of a bang on the door rather than a knock and they persisted for a few minutes. They've knocked before and get ignored as do all of their threat-o-grams.

However I am wondering if other people are like me and if you don't know who it is, you simply ignore it?

Why is this in the pets forum?

When someone knocks on my door, all my 3 dogs bark, I hold the biggest one when opening the door, and people seem to step back, lol
But I normally respond when someone knocks, unless ill.

I can understand the question there in General. But here in Pets as well..

It seems it was put in the general forum after it was ponted out that this is the wrong one.

I don't have much choice, Tanna shouts in dog talk "aye he`s in" , Although she did last weekend at 4.30am when someone tried the handle, quite alarming waking up that quickly

no i never answer the door and have a big sign on it saying no selling but they still ignore it and bang on the door several times, we have a large window and they can clearly see me sitting there

Only if it's the cat.......

I do now that I live in Corfu because theres no cold callers, tin rattling beggars, tv licence thugs or preachers here. if anyone knocks, it will be a friend or neighbour. when I lived in uk, I refused to answer the door to anyone I wasn't expecting except the post man.. I also made a good show of looking out of the window to see who was there, then walking away. I could see all along my road and generally, any door knocker would move onto the next house so I knew they were after something
