Re: What makes people think this is acceptable?

The intercom lets you talk to people who might be legitimate callers, like meter readers. It also allows you to tell a persistent knocker that he is unwelcome and he is trespassing.

I've had people literally bang on my door, and I don't want to stand there until they break it down.

Re: What makes people think this is acceptable?

Speaking of cable guys, there's a current rumor in the Briar Forest area of Houston about bogus cable repairmen trying to talk their way into houses. I'm sure everyone here realizes that you can get a Comcast shirt at a Goodwill or Salvation Army store.

Re: What makes people think this is acceptable?

Desperation makes people do this. They have lost jobs and/or are in debt.

Then they get hooked up with some get-rich-quick-scheme.

It happens to us. We had an unwelcome caller today.

As I have said many times, I can see who is at the door without opening it. If the person is not someone that I want to talk to, I do not answer the door. If they persist, I have the means of telling them that we are not interested.
