Poll: Do you answer the front door when you don't know who is calling?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

ONE OF THE signs of how modern life has changed can be seen in attitudes towards opening the front door.

There was a heated discussion among some Twitter users today about whether people open the front door or not if someone calls unexpectedly – with the responses suggesting that it’s something more common among people under 35 – while the topic is a frequent discussion point on many internet message boards.

Too isolationist? Or completely understandable?

Over to you: Do you answer the front door when you don’t know who is calling?


Poll Results:

Nope (5287)
Depends on whether it's day or night (4208)
Yes, of course (4014)
