I even had a lady come to my door once asking for a sandwich. I don't even know where she came from. I've had people follow me down the driveway in my car to ask directions when I get out of the car. It's like our house has a big sign on it that says "Stop Here!" I always keep my doors locked and if I keep my wooden door open with just the glass outside door closed but locked, I have even more people stop. It's not like we live right on the road. We have a winding driveway but you can see the house from the road.
Maybe some houses look 'friendlier' than others???
Good idea about the sign, OP! Maybe I should try that. |
Sounds like our house in the past. Lately we haven't gotten too much activity but for a while we got everyone. If a wreck happened, even if it wasn't near our driveway, they managed to pull into our driveway. At 3:00 one Sunday morning we got the naked lady ringing our doorbell. Got a flat tire? Pull into MY driveway to fix it. Need to pull over and argue with your girlfriend? Use my driveway! More than once I've come home and been unable to pull into my own driveway because a car was sitting there for one strange reason or another.
But I don't get many knocks on my door.
