Omg I'm pretending not to be home.

Eeeeek okay so it's my day off so I slept until almost noon and I've been on the computer literally all day. I haven't started cleaning my apartment from the week yet so it's a mess. And I myself am a HOT MESS (looks wise). I obviously didn't plan on leaving my house at all today. Well apparently my landlord thought today would be a god day to install a canopy over my door (he's been saying he was going to do this for like, a year lol). He didn't give any warning, just showed up with his hot son (son is my age and always helps him fix things). So, idk if they just assumed I wasn't home (even though my car is outside) bc they didn't knock or anthing, and just started putting the thing up. They're screwing in screws and yelling at eachother about how to do it right and making a whole bunch of noise, so I don't think that they know I'm home. I'm just in here being as quiet as possible and hoping they don't have to come in at all. LOL. Like I'm not even getting up from this chair bc I don't want them to hear me move around.
Have you ever done this? It's raining outside, idk why they are doing this today!

I usually pretend not to be home when strangers or advertisers come up to the door and ring the doorbell... over freaking three times while knocking on the window like a mad person. My ears are quite sensitive to loud noises, and hearing the doorbell constantly just gets me overly grumpy and too irritated to answer the door. Multiple knocks on the window makes more terrified rather than grumpy.
It was raining today too, and some high school kid knocked on the window more than ringing the doorbell so rather than cowering in fear I opened the curtains to reveal my unruly bedhair and pissy stinkeye. The kid cursed and ran off with his Captain America umbrella.
I was at my best friend's house. She's not straight and out about it and she's had problems from Jehovah's witnesses before in her building. So when they came to the door, I wanted to get up and tear them a new one for giving her crap before, because I'm protective of my friends like that. She wouldn't let me though, so we just sat on her couch and were quiet until they left. I really wanted to start screaming about something offensive to them though...maybe talk about McShep getting down and dirty or something, lol.
When I am home alone, and I'm not expecting somebody I refuse to answer the door and pretend I'm not home. Even if the person looks like a utility worker I won't open the door because of reports of home invasions in the area. I figure that if it is a legitimate utility worker they will phone or leave a message concerning access to my property or interruption of services.
I had been going through a difficult time and my apartment was very cluttered and dirty. I literally made a path from the door to the bedroom which is right next to where the maintenance guy needed to be (installing new AC filters in all of the apts). I was sleeping on my couch and woke up from a knock at the door, scrambled and stumbled to find pants, then opened it up sheepishly. It was so embarrassing. I never let my apartment become that messy after that and hid every time he came around. I wonder what he thought of me..
It didn't help that they never gave us notice either! It was always some random time between 8am-5pm.
Haha... would be awkward if they had a key and let themselves in. My landlady does that shit all the time. It's a shared house though, so she only goes in the shared areas - not so bad.
I used to pretend to not be in all the time, but then I had housemates that would answer the door for anyone, regardless. So then I'd have to hover if they opened the door in case it was a TV license man or someone, and they were too naive or kind to tell him to fuck off. One girl stood and talked to Jehova's witnesses for maybe 15 minutes... then when they kept coming back she asked me to tell them she'd left the country hahaha.
hahahaa oh my god i pretend i'm not home literally any time ANYONE comes to the door. when i lived with my parents, they had a loft space and a high ceiling above the front door, so if i was up in the loft i could see thru the window and check who was outside. even if it was the mailman with a big box I'd be like "HAHAAH NO" and go hide in my room

Did they ever find out? I've pretended to be sleeping on my room. Landlady nows I am a heavy sleeper :P
They call you cry baby, cry baby
But you don't freaking care
Omg I do this! Whenever I'm at parents' house and the doorbell rings I run away and hide. :c Even if I'm home alone (which I probably shouldn't do but PEOPLE). Then I sort of creep towards the windows upstairs at the front of the house and try to see who it is and pray they don't look up and spot me. xD
Uh yeah mom the doorbell did ring earlier but I was in the shower SORRY :c
I totally told him a few days later. LOL. I was down in his office for an unrelated issue and he asked me if I liked the new canopy and I casually mentioned I was actually inside but didn't want to disturb them because they sounded like they were working really hard LOL. And that he and his son were too funny trying to get the drill to go through the wall. He laughed.

You seen to have a very nice landlord!! Congrats, there's some real assholes out there :P

Yeah he's pretty chill tbh! He's a lawyer and his office is below the apartment building so he's easy to get a hold of during the week. This is actually my second apartment I've rented within this building. When my daughter was still in a crib I had a 1 bedroom. When a 2 bedroom opened up, he let me take it even though I wasn't the first one to ask, because I had a child and the other person did not. So he is very decent! I actually hired him as my lawyer for my custody case. LOL.

Well, that's a good landlord, isn't it? Congrats on that. I have a good one too, very strict tho :P No boys allowed, ladies room, kind of a complicated situation.

I do this a lot....I don't like interacting with humans so if someone knocks (or back when we had a phone if they called) I'd run to the bathroom and pretend to be on the potty til it stopped X_x then again living in a place full of gangs and shat for 15 yrs'll do that to you
Who can it be knocking at my door? Go away. Don't come around here no more. If he hears, he'll knock all daaaaay...
(lol I love that song if anyone got that xD)
I do it all the time. If I'm not expecting you, I'm probably in lounge clothes and have zero desire to interact with you.
