Answering the Door…
Is it wrong to ignore a knock at the door?
That sounded like a Dr. Seuss riddle.
But seriously, there I am, painting my kitchen when someone knocks on the front door. Frantically. Believe me when I tell you that no one ever comes to our house unannounced that isn’t selling something. But there I am, having a moral dilemma because I’m covered in paint, haven’t showered since last night and still smell like an ashtray, not to mention the fact that I’m only wearing boxers and a t-shirt. No, I stand by my decision of ignoring whoever it was. I just hope it wasn’t some Saturday morning neighborhood emergency.
But what are the chances of that? Maybe it was the Cat in the Hat.

What if that was Cesar Amadeus? (GASP!)

See that’s the same reason I’ve never liked cell phones - people feel they should be able to get hold of you 24/7. Only with phones you can see who it is before you answer.
If you don’t feel like opening the door you shouldn’t do it. They could just call you if they need you. And then you can ignore them all over again.
