When you hear a knock at the door, what's your first thought?

Do I have to get up..... meh

On a bad day...
"Fuck, who is trying to get the money that I don't have today?"

On a good day...
"Fuck, I was having a good day too."

"'tis some visitor" I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door; Only this, and nothing more."
..never know when Poe's Raven might call...

If I've ordered food, I think "Food!"

If I haven't ordered food, I think "A stranger? At my door? What fresh hell is this?"

If I recognise the stranger as a stalker, I think "Stalker!" then gather my emergency supply pack and make a decision about which of the three exit points or two secret hiding places to use.

With an 80 lb pit bull barking at them through the window, I dont have to worry much about who bothers knocking at the door.

If its one of my hoes that comes knocking. I think "Bitch better have my money!!!"

I never get the door... I let someone else get it..

"Oh shit! Who the hell is that?!"

(Runs to go hide somewhere and stays there until they leave)

"My order from Amazon has just arrived!!!"

Who can it be knocking at my door? Is it the man come to take me away? Who can it be now?

Depends, some days im just like oh, someone is at the door, i better getthat. Other days im super paranoid and look out the window before answering the door Cx

I am such a loner so when someone knocks on my door i race to the door. And good options by the way.

i would be thinking "how the hell did they get passed my killer dogs".

Anxiety :(

I think I'd better stay as quiet as possible until they go away.

I live in a security complex, so no one can get in without the guards calling me first. But if theres a knock on my door then its like oh FFS who wants to borrow what now again!!!

Its usually a customer, which means i don't have to get up anyway.

I always get a anxiety feeling. But, once I answer the feeling goes away.

Nobody that I know knocks on the door, I just leave it unlocked and they come right in. So when I hear a knock it's usually "who in the hell?"

Is it the rapist again? This'll be the fourth time this week and its becoming hard to sit.

Better smoke meth...

I think Damn it all!!! You made me die and I was on the last boss!!!

MAM! GET THE DOOR!!!

Those who knock on my door (without a previously known invitation) are people who are trying to convert me or sell me something. My immediate though is, "Wonder who it is..."

I think: Great that internet call girl is here!

Hmmm... do I have to put pants on?

Do not come to my home unannounced, uninvited or unexpected. I simply will not answer the door at all. I will ignore you completely. My home truly is my sanctuary and I do not wish to be disturbed by uninvited guests.

The flip side of the prude in me says it is far better to visit folks at their home than it is to entertain them at home. I love when a friend or a friend couple visits me from far away places but I don't need to see folks in my home if they are part of my daily, weekly or monthly life.

I love Girl Scout cookies and can but them at work or at most retail stores I shop at. I know many Gods and I don't need any human to introduce me to any of them. If the police need to speak to me they can call my attorney to schedule an appointment. My neighbors live too far away to just drop by and they know better. They can call or text me anytime and I'm right there for them or, in case of emergency, they know to start yelling my name or the names of any of my dogs long before they get to my porch, oh, and I go to town to collect my mail and parcels so there really is no reason for anybody to come a knocking at my door.

Who the FUCK is that?Since I never expect anybody.

My first thought is usually:
"What? Urgh, great. Now I have to put some clothes on!"

OP, what do you think when you hear a knock on your door?
