Pro tip - if you fake a work injury, you might get an undercover investigator after you with a long, powerful camera lense. -Teresa

Anyone else is treated like a potential threat until their motives can be discerned. There's too many tweakers and petty criminals in the area for my liking, and I don't put up with that kind of shit.True story: My friends used to show up unannounced all the time and then drink all my beer. So, I told them don't even show up with out a 12pak. One day they showed up with a 12pak. That was cool! However, they showed up everyday with a 12pak. I thought it was weird but, left it alone. So, I go to my local liquor store to buy some smokes. They asked me when I was going to pay my tab. I said, "what tab?" "The tab your friends have been putting 12paks on all week". FUCK!

One of my neighbors claims that he was boinking his girl when some jovies showed up at his door. He claims further that he answered the door with a raging hard-on and asked them, "WHAT?!". Given what I've seen him do on other occasions, I'm inclined to believe him. He further claims that they never came back, after that. I should try that with my wife. The next time some of them show up, both of us could go to the door and camp it up. It would be amusing, to say the least. She wouldn't do that, though. She argues chapter and verse with them (and she knows the damned stuff). They usually slink off right quick when she busts their chops on their quotes. Now, if only she was an atheist.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

There's also an enclosed porch at the front of the house, with a locked door between the front steps and the main entrance. I can see who's at the door too. I live on the outskirts of a country village so a knock on my door is almost always a neighbour. Most the day in summer I leave the back door open ( I have an walled enclosed back garden) I really enjoy the air flowing through despite having to help bumble bees out all day. I always associate knocks on the door with a friend calling even if it is late. There will surely be that one time though when I find two smartly dressed folks at my door asking "what do you think about the state of the world," ? I think I would do some silly like tell them to hang on a minute. Get them both an apple or some fruit, give it to them, and close the door. That would confuse them.
