Y'know, for someone who has a problem with people displaying hostility, maybe you could work on dialling yrs back several notches? Just a suggestion that I'm guessing will go unheeded, but you do seem to get very angry about stupid shit that no-one else cares about like the special snowflake thing.

Speaking of which, are you now making out that if someone uses a universal term first at DU, then they've got dibs on it and anyone else who uses it after them is dissing them?* It's just that I saw you downthread insisting that the Magistrate had been dissed in this thread. As a very old friend of his, if someone was dissing him in this thread I'd be ignoring the gnats buzzing round and going in to deliver a bit of a wordy arse kicking. But that hasn't happened, so that's why I'm still with you...

* I was the First DUer Ever to use G'day and G'night. You used G'night in this thread. This could be a breach of the Special Snowflake DU Copyright Code. That I could have been dissed so savagely is quite disturbing!

Does my wife have to answer the door? [View all] diabeticman May 2015 OP

Are you renting or do you own your condo? DURHAM D May 2015 #1

We own the Condo. diabeticman May 2015 #4

Maybe you have tried this already but DURHAM D May 2015 #11

They have the excuse that there is a security door which leads to all 4 condos in this building and diabeticman May 2015 #12

Regardless, I can think of no reason DURHAM D May 2015 #13

I'm on my condo board, you might want to mention their liability. NYC_SKP May 2015 #16

I live in a condo also.... steve2470 May 2015 #55

Believe me. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have bought. There only 8 condos in the diabeticman May 2015 #57

They own the door. So can you give them the door and put up a new one with a peephole? pnwmom May 2015 #81

LOL. SammyWinstonJack May 2015 #193

He owns it....eom mrmpa May 2015 #5

No, she does not have to open the door. elleng May 2015 #2

He never annouced himself he just kept knocking. She knew it was the cops when she saw his uniform. diabeticman May 2015 #7

How did she see his uniform? You said you have no peep hole. KittyWampus May 2015 #108

Yeah, I figured she would at least ASK "who is it?" cwydro May 2015 #110

heh. It's a mystery. SammyWinstonJack May 2015 #192

Better yet, she should call the police on their non-emergency line. EL34x4 May 2015 #10

That would be my response. Call the non-emerg. number. Hoppy May 2015 #14

No. She does not have to answer the door. The cops should have to get a warrent to bust in. brewens May 2015 #3

pretty much my opinion but Police need a warrant to bust Malraiders May 2015 #6

We own our condo. diabeticman May 2015 #8

why didn't you answer the question above about how she saw the uniform if she didn't open the door CreekDog May 2015 #213

Legally, you are right. But busting down the door is fun. Hoppy May 2015 #17

If it happens again, you should go to the cops and complain about being harassed by them. bettyellen May 2015 #9

...Or harassed by Nosy Parker downstairs Warpy May 2015 #24

That is what I meant- report the neighbors for harassment. bettyellen May 2015 #59
