Stay Outta My SPACE!

[Five_Inch_Heels]

I got fences. I got hedges. I got closed gates.

And still they knock on my door!

She's a sweet old lady who just lost a family member, but I don't need to be adopted! She means no harm, just has an overactive busybody part. I can't tell her to bugger off, but I thought the fences and gates would in a nice sort of way.

I tend to run around in skivvies (or less) or in things not ready for prime time. I don't need people dropping in unannounced!!

If you ever change your mind, I'll adopt you.
I can put up with your nakedness.

This is the kind of person that would call the fire department if they saw orange in your window not knowing it was a candle.

I damn sure don't need that when I'm doing the things that I do while expecting it's in private.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Might have to get less subtle somehow though. She's like a broken tape recorder. Everything she sees or hears gets repeated to everyone she knows.

Can't have that.

It always surprised me how many women answer their doors naked and even step outside naked to talk. The OP is an old prude.

If you need an alternate location to run around in skivvies, I can proffer another locale...but in all seriousness, I don't see why people feel an obligation to answer the door.

As you said, it's your space. They should be accommodate you, not the other way around. If I'm home and don't want to answer the door, I will just completely ignore it and go about my business. On occasion people can probably see me through the door glass, and they might ring or knock again but after I ignore them they all eventually go away.

It's your place, own it!

Driving to the parcel sorting office with ID in stead of answering the door is inconvenient.

Understood. Whenever I order something, I always have them put a note on the address that says something to the effect of "Carrier, if no answer leave package". Seems to work. Just a thought, if you're really opposed to being dressed at home.

Answer the door naked, holding a kitchen knife. First & last time you'll have to. Works for me, shit even my Mother calls first now.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Did it again. Gates are closed, so she crawls under one of them. Have to spend money now to re-work that one to make it less possible.

Under one gate, then around another fence, behind the house to the back door.

If I wanted a dog, I might have to get a big-ass people eater. But that would cost more in food than a better gate.

No homeowners insurance. Too expensive out here.

So, I need people to stay the hell off my property. I can't afford the risk.

 

[warrior queen]

I have a sign on my door with a little notepad and pen.
The sign says 'SHIFT WORKER INSIDE! Please knock once, and leave a short note if no reaponse.'
It works for anyone, with the added bonus that burglers may think twice believing someone is home!

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

I don't want people getting to the house to be able to knock.

 

[warrior queen]

I don't want people getting to the house to be able to knock.

Then put it on the front gate. Use a plastic container with the sign on, and put the pen and paper inside the container.
Maybe put 'Do not enter - SHIFT WORKER ASLEEP! Please use enclosed pen & paper to leave a short not, and we will get back to you.'

Perhaps a good old fashioned moat is in order. Stocked with crocodiles.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

I've already got the high walls, drawbridges and watch towers with archer slits.

Yikes! That is taking quite a risk. As a home owner who once had a bogus lawsuit attempted for a slip and fall against her, I'd be trimming the budget to find the money for insurance!

Lawsuits, even ones that get thrown away, are expensive!

Electric fence should give them the message, The ones used for animals, won't kill any thing but, they won't so it again.

I always found home or apartment insurance quite affordable. Far cheaper then life insurance. Banks here require home insurance if you carry a mortgage.

Average cost in Canada is 850$/yr.

Drop the skivvies and have a long and involved conversation...



Let her know how comfortable you are in your skin.

I'm standing in a store in town the other day, taking care of my business and she walks up and starts talking about some damn baby pictures.

Like .... What the fuck?

Let me do my shit and go home, OK?
