depends. probably would not becuase that kinda ploy has been used to invade homes and women have paid the prices for it, that I personally knew of. that said, it's a rare scenario, most people probably would be ok, I have answered the door many times. I'd gather information and call police or offer help.
use your intuition and common sense.
I live in the middle of no where lol.
I’ve had the odd hiker Lost ask directions.
also with my daughter living with me, it’s something I would have to consider.
i have a heated workshop outside, they could go there and spare clothes etc.
Well first of all I’d wonder how they got through the main gate with CCTV then up the floors and ended up at mine..
But to answer your question no. I’m not letting anyone in the house unless I know them a) and b) I’m also expecting them.
Stranger danger kids don’t open the door
Hmmmm.
Probably not.
It depends.
First, we don't answer the door to strangers. I just let them knock until they go away.
2nd, IF I actually answered the door... I am in the USA mind you, there are houses everywhere and there are stores and libraries and grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations... all over the place... it seems very fishy for them to just pick one random house and say "let me in".
3rd, I'd be more apt to help a woman or a child, if some 30 year old dude is asking to come in my house... no.
I am not naive and this is a good way for a robber, home invader, rapist... etc. to act like a needy person wanting some Good Samaritan to lower their guard.
Probably not. I'd need to know a LOT of specifics before I say... sure come in here stranger with my wife and children... I know you are 100% safe.
I’d be very nervous. Our garage stays warm so i’d bring out a chair and a blanket and let them sit underneath it. I’d sit at a distance across from them and talk with them for a while. The only way i’m letting them in is if we pat them down for weapons. And my grandpa would have to come over with his machete and sit with us
Doubt it. If I don't know you, you won't be coming inside. I'll call 911 but that's about it.
Only 3 people live out here, and one doesn't live here already. So if you're a stranger, you're a danger to me.
A stranger, no. A person who I know and trust, or family - yes.
Assuming it’s a stranger, I would probably tell them to wait a minute, then grab some old coats I have that I won’t use.
Probably give them a blanket temporarily. Also recommend a warming shelter or something. Drive them there, maybe.
In this generation it's difficut to welcome someone in you're house because they might be dangerous or planning for something bad...
In the end they are strangers, you can help them or giving them food or money but to let them in you're house is dangerous especially if you're a girl!
If i was a rich man than i'll send him/her to a hotel and pay for it...
when it comes to basic human nees, i'd provide them. be it water, some food or shelter. however i would not let them sleep in my place. the most i'd let them do "in my house" is use the toilet. for shelter, i'd maybe go as far as drive them to a place they can stay.
I really want to, but I'm also scared at the same time as I've heard some bad things happening to people who let some strangers inside the house. I guess I'd let them in and offer them some warm food/snacks and hot tea/coffee if I'm not alone at home. If I am, I'll just make some hot tea and coffee and give it to them at doorstep. Luckily, it's always warm/hot where I live, lol.
It depends on who they are. It depends in what state they are. It depends on my mood and their attitude towards me.
Right now, there is a war in Ukraine. Ukrainian refugees are entering Poland (where I live). Most of these are women; men are turned at the border and "asked" to join the military.
I live in an apartment complex, so there are "other" doors to knock on. I would tell her this: "I live alone, no life partner. This is a one-room, I emphasise, one room, not bedroom, one room apartment. There is only one bed which we will have to share. There is no privacy. Your choice if you want to accept or reject these conditions."
I would empower her to make that choice.
Absolutely not. Call the police and let the government handle it. They will provide shelter and food through YOUR taxes. You’d be a complete fool to shelter someone you don’t know. They could be a murderer, rapist, pedophile, drug addict/seller, conman. There is only risk and no reward except I guess feeling good? Why do you think I never help homeless? Because they WANT to be homeless! They have all the opportunities to take advantage of 1000’s of progress and assistance but would rather beg for cash for alcohol and drugs because those programs won’t help you if you are abusing a substance.
Probably, but context is key here. You can usually tell if a situation like that feels off, if they really need help or if it rather seems to be leading up to some kind of assault or robbery. I'd think about how cold it actually was, what the odds are that they are really out here at my home without any other means of egress. In the end yes, unless they were obviously shady I'd allow them in immidiately, but I'd still watch them closely.
Dumb way's to die, oh so many dumb way's to die. Literally no normal person just knocks on a random someone's door to ask to come in, it's not like it's a typical homeless asking for money as you pass them. Therefore the intensions will chance are 99% to be bad.
If she's hot then I would but only to see what kinda crazy she is, maybe fun to join her if she would allow it.
Well, if I had my own house, yes, I probably would unless I got some idea they might not be safe. Since I life at home, it would be my parents' call, but I'm pretty sure they'd think the same way. I've taught them well. HA!
The moment I open the door I would look into their eyes and I would see if they were for real or not it would also tell me a bunch of other things that the odds are I would say yes come in let me get you something warm to drink
I would at least temporarily to assess their situation. But I'm also 6'5" 250 lbs lbs. I realize there's a difference between me and a 5' nothing 100lb woman.
From there if I determined it was warranted and feasible I would try to help.
I think I would help but I say that because I would want someone to help me if I was in the position
Nahhhh i don't wanna get murdered lol I would give them money or something
Hard pass. I have kids to protect and I live in an unsafe area.
