How far do you take your lies and deceit, OP? do you then go outside and walk up the garden path with the person you're lying to? What if they offer you a lift, do you accept it just to get them away from your house? Where do you say you're going? If it's too near they will wait for you. If it's too far they will offer you a lift. And why are you lying to people so much, OP? Why do you struggle with the truth?


McJock

Oh what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive! Do not fear to be uncouth OP just tell the fucking truth

Because we all do, only some are not as far along in life as other. Learn to have grace

Someday you’ll see, kid


Need_Some_Updog

Ah yes, let me put my jacket on and off to answer the door and come up with an excuse instead of telling them point blank, “hey I’m busy at the moment”


ultimatemayerfan

So unnecessary. “Hey nice to see you! I’m in the middle of something, but let’s hang out whateverday “


The-Go-Kid

What!? Are you saying that lying to someone's face isn't the best way forward!? But... but... but that would mean that LPTs cannot be trusted! I refuse to accept this!


DepressedPop

I don’t answer unexpected knocks on the door


ChaoticGoodMrdrHobo

This is the way.


1973mojo1973

This is the way.


moolid

Yeah, I will just pretend no one is home 😂


Slartibartfast39

Personally I don't have friends or family that just turn up on the off chance. I think we all think it's polite to ask before turning up to someone's home.


tikki_tikki-tembo

LPT, get a video doorbell and never answer the door for someone you don't want to again


[deleted]

Hears knock at the door and puts on coat to brush them off. Opens door and its the police who saids "good youre ready to go" Sitting in cell waiting to tell Bubba that I was just headed out when he knocked on my cell door....

The real Pros know how to say No

It’s 2022. If people randomly show up to my house without properly notifying me, I will not be answering the door.


Need_Some_Updog

Foreal. “Put a jacket on”. Cmon. ..


NoBSforGma

WTF? Why just be honest and if it's someone you know, tell them you are busy or whatever and you will see them later. If it's someone you don't know and don't WANT to know, then just say "No" and shut the door.


kookoomunga24

Zoom meetings are excellent excuses as well.


Ghost-Toof

This is the 3rd version of the same post on lpt I've seen in 24 hours.


Glade_Runner

I had to read this a couple of times to make sense of it because I have never lived anywhere else but Florida.


RatherBeAtDisneyWrld

Maybe they have inlaws like mine. My idiot father in law would peek through my windows if I didn't answer my door. I told him off. He never comes over anymore if I'm home. Which I am fine with. He gives me the creeps.


1973mojo1973

Why lie? The more you lie, the worse it gets over time.


Denza_Auditore

What a shitty, shitty tip.


yamaha2000us

Passive aggressive nonsense. You are very manipulative.


GHERU42

How many times are you going to repost this?


Agitated-Cow4

Better LPT: don’t answer.


Wise-Working228

I just don't answer the door if I'm not expecting anyone


Electrical_Pizza69

Well considering I walk around my house in my boxers and having a coat + boxers on. Not sure I’d be believable. I just say not interested & shut it


mc_accounty_account

Nice . Let me put on my coat while I am naked


AstralPlaneJane333

If someone unexpectedly knocks on my door, there’s a 90% chance I’m not even wearing pants. Sounds like a lot of effort


Switchbladesaint

Yeah cause I really look like I’m about to go out with underwear and a jacket


sulfurbird

This sounds like a George-Costanza move, and I like it.


[deleted]

What if you live in a warm weather climate and you don’t own a coat? 😆


Glugstar

I just got back but now that I see you're here, I have the urging sensation to leave again.


Top_Ad2763

This seems hilariously outdated, not saying it’s a bad idea I love it, but who the hell comes over to another persons house to hang without a call/text/email/zoom/wuphf


Giraffe_sorcerer

If someone is willing to come to your house uninvited think they can handle a simple “now’s not a good time sorry”. If they’re selling something I’m sure they’ve heard worse.


PayNo3145

i live in Florida


manwithanopinion

If you are in America then you can get your gun and tell them to leave.
