Is it ever ok to knock on a neighbor's door at 7:15 AM in a non-emergency situation?

[taterguy]

On a holiday?

When no lights are on in the house?

What the fuck is wrong with people?

No, you can't have five dollars. Even if I felt like searching for my wallet I'm refusing out of spite.

1. A 7:00 a.m. door-banger and all he wanted was a fin? Hell, I'm asking for $20

at least if I'm pulling that stunt.

2. Do we live near each other?

I had the same thing happen to me a year or so ago, but it was 6 in the morning and it was the woman who lived next door. I did not know her, had never seen her...she had MS and so her speech was slurred. Scared the crap out of me....and no, I did not give her the $5.

3. It's definitely not OK.

Not until at least 9:00. Neither is a phone call.

8. My wife and I are compassionate but there are limits

If our damn dogs weren't so friendly I would have had an "Unleash the hounds" moment.

7. Your neighbors ask you for cash?

:wtf:

Sugar or aspirin, sure, but cash?

9. Ever try to say no to a family that moved up from N.O. after Katrina?

We've given them some money and food but now the teenage kids just try to take advantage of us.

[Inchworm]

11. A family moved close to me from there

they are assholes.

Well, mebbe not.. they just act unneighborly.

:hi:

[petronius]

12. If someone wnts to give me money (and not just to pay back a loan),

then they can knock on the door at 7 am. Otherwise,I'm turning on the sprinklers...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. That is just rude.

and tacky.

[Javaman]

14. The only thing worse is the 3am call! LOLOLOLOLOL nt

[taterguy]

15. The dogs don't bark when the phone rings

And we turn the ringer off in our bedroom

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Kicking for copycat proximity.

:hi:

[taterguy]

17. Ditto

[pitohui]

18. no it isn't OK

why did you even open the door? i no longer open the door if i'm not expecting anyone! if it's an emergency they can call me on the cell and say, "hey i'm at your front door" -- sadly this too happens more often than i would prefer

[arthritisR_US]

19. depends, is the neighbour a tall, single hunk? ;) n/t
