This fascinates me so much because the idea that there's anything at all risky about opening your door to a stranger is the thing that's completely alien to my world.

They might be trying to sell you something. How often would an unannounced visitor be unwanted vs. wanted?

Or it might be someone from a few doors down with some badly delivered mail, a courier with a parcel your partner/roommate ordered or a new neighbour introducing themselves, someone felling you theyre having a party and would appreciate you not calling the cops at 10pm.

I get maybe 4 sales knocks a year, I just say not interested and close the door!

I knocked on my neighbors door with some beers to say hello when I was hanging out with nothing to do just the other day. Nice to meet new people.

I never answer my door to unexpected visitors and it has nothing to do with risks.
