idiot knock on my door at 3 am

who in the world knocks on the door at 3am.must be on crack or something.a course i didnt open door they asked for a ride.

Either that or if no one answered probably break in and rob ya blind.

I had a group of teenagers drive up in two cars and knock on my door at 2am or 3am just two weeks ago, some idiot guy looking for his girl friend. I think it was 10 or 12 of them who got out of the car and came to the front door. I wasn't the one who answered the door but if I were they would have got ear full. (Not to mention they would have been looking down a barrel of a 44mag)

I got a little mad at my girl friend for even answering the door; this could have been pretty nasty if they pushed their way in. I swear, I have NO idea what parents are thinking these days letting there kids roam around they way they do.

that was me
I wanted to borrow a flashlight

id never answer the door.

I'm up here in Colorado staying in an apartment while trying to buy a house. I wake up at 4am the other morning to someone knocking on my door. Completley disoriented and still half asleep, I opened the door as far as the door chain would allow and as politely as I could at 4am, asked what the guy needed. A 20 some year old latino with a wife beater t-shirt and a stud in his lower lip speaking spanish and saying something about a white truck.

My espanol is not the best at 4am so I told him that I can't understand what he's saying and that I don't have a truck. He repeats it, I said that I still can't understand and that aparently he got the wrong person and should leave.

I shut the door, locked all the locks back up, unpacked and loaded the .40 and placed it and my cell phone next to the nightstand and went back to sleep.

Chances are I'd never wake up to someone at the front door, as I sleep in the back of the house with the door closed (and it's a pretty big house).

That said, if I did, I would NOT open the door, and would have a .45 auto or a Makarov 9mm in my hand as I said through the door "GO AWAY!".

Come to think of it, I woke up sometime in the early AM to a noise coming from behind my house. I suspect it was partiers coming home from something, and it may have been a string of firecrackers that woke me up.

This town needs an enema!

And we need to sell a house so we can get OUT of this neighborhood!

One time someone knocked on my door. I said "Who's there?". Nobody answered. I repeated myself, and nobody answered again.

I wanted to find out who it was but realized that if I opened the door, I would be at a real disadvantage. One hand would have to be on the knob, giving me only my left hand to defend myself. Also, when opening a door, you stand right in the opening, unless you try to hid behind it.

So After asking who it was twice without getting an answer, I waited about 20-30 seconds, unlocked the door very quietly, and backed off. I yelled something like "I'm not coming out, why don't you try coming in?" and "The door is unlocked!" I was far enough away from the door, I didn't have to worry about hand to hand combat. I was also off to the side, out of sight, just in case whoever it was had a gun. (The gun would have been pointed straight forward).

Anyway, I felt able to handle the situation, and whoever it was must have realized this. I waited a little while, then checked the area, whoever it was left. For some odd reason they did not accept my warm invitation to come on in.

I GOTTA get OUT of this neighborhood!!!

I was at the house to check messages and such, and a knock came at my door (about 2:45PM CST).

It was a woman from down the street with her escort station wagon about to go on a 15hr drive somewhere and wanted me to put water in her radiator.

I did, and found that the electric fan would only run reliably with the AC switched in... which she says doesn't work. Some fun.

I finally sent her away, telling her to keep the AC switched on. Whew!

I gotta get away from here!!!!

LOL we used to just hot wire the fan. o on a side note i dont even close back door just screen dooor and it can be pulled open it dont even latch BUT lol i have 2 big dogs that are protective as hell of my property and they live in back yard lol i dont even close it when i go away

If working on cars was something I did any more than out of absolute neccesity...

I might have had a clue HOW to hotwire the fan. Heck, I was looking for a fuse or something to disable the compressor clutch!

No one never knock on my door at those times but I do get phone calls at 3:00 am, I realy can't remember how many times but it would be alot. I never answered phone ones.
My house does have to matel doors, I don't think its all matel may be matel covers. Because I think its wood in the middle. I think for the back door to.

usaly ya can just unplug the clutch i hate working on cars. i only know enough to be dangeorus

I have a metal door, it has dents from where someone tried to get in the house years ago. Wife wanted a new door but I know we wouldn't be able to afford a strong metal one so I took this one off the hinges and painted it nice and put 3" deck screws back in all the hinges. Our hood has older retired people but the rest around are all going to trash

just find the relay that turns(or add a relay) on the fan and hook the relay coil up to a circuit that is on only on when the car is running.
If the car is really old the brushes in the fan motor could be shot.

When my first son was about 6 months old this drunk called my house asking for some woman at about 2 am and of course woke my son up. Anyone who has children can tell you how hard it is to get them back to sleep at that age. I politly told him he had the wrong number and hung up. 30 minutes later the same thing. I was pretty mad this time and made it clear he had the wrong number. The next night he calls back again at about 2 in the morning. I told him he should be ashamed of himself and hung up. 30 minutes later same thing. This time he hung up on me after I said hello. Well I dial *69 and got his number. Dialed his number and his answering machine came on which gave me his name. I went to the phone book matched his name and number and then had his address. I called him back again and this time his answering machine did not pick up and I just let it ring forever. It must have rang at least 30 times before he finally picked it up. I said you are "first and last name" and you live at "address" and if you ever call my home drunk again and wake up my child I am going to come over there and kick the **** out of you. I have never heard anyone appologize so much and he has never called my house again. I hate getting mad at people but this guy was too much.

Never had anyone knock on my door that late, but have encountered some seriously creepy people while I worked with the morning newspapers (worked from 2am to 6am). Drunks, folks who are stoned, shady people that want you to let them in to buildings that they have no business to be in... Being totaly unarmed, a little bit of awareness of the situation goes a long way, I'll have to say.

Although I'm wondering if anyone has considered the flip side of all this. I remember seeing it on TV some time ago a little thing about what to do when you think you are being followed by someone. It was said that when you are being followed close to your home, and you know that there is no one at home, the best course of action is to in fact knock on a neighbour's door and hope there is someone home. I would hate to know that I've denied someone safety because I was too afraid to open the door. But on the other hand openning before you know who's on the side could be a bad move as well.

I think we'll all need to have those door-peeper-thing installed.... and a big meat hatchet just in case.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon6.gif

These stories are a bummer. I need to think about a way to rig a video monitor to view the entrance along with a microphone/speaker system. The last element would be bear strength pepper spray that could be electronically activated to fumigate any roaches.

How about keeping a big Co2 extinguisher by the door? It's non-lethal (unless your door is at the top of a long staircase).

FOOOOOOSHH...bumpity...bumpity...bumpity... SPLAT.
