[QUOTE="DanB, post: 2636690, member: 237"] The new Danny Tanner sign should read, "I don't give warning shots. Just hip shots! You have been warned!" To this day I still battle with my 6 year old running to the door when the door bell rings. He just doesn't understand the why behind my request to let me answer it. I've had every variant of individual ring my doorbell. 90% of the time I just stare at them through the blinds(they can't seem me) until they get bored and leave. Other times I'm in the mood for some verbal tape loop practice. What I enjoy doing is catching them off guard. I have a rather small front porch area. Most often people think I'll answer the door and just stand in it. I like to come out the door shutting the interior door and glass door. They have to back off the porch for me to fully exit. I make them back down the step and look up at me. Give me the chance to look around and size them up. I generally only do this when I'm in a feisty mood. I'd be a little concerned, as I'm sure Danny was, about the individuals intent. Nothing in his description leads me to believe this guys motives were anything but dishonest. [/QUOTE]
