how strange is this?
It is 12:02am CST and someone just knocked on my door, asking me if I was interested in buying some furniture. Did he just steal this and is trying to unload it before getting caught?

2. That's pretty strange..I'd call the cops
Either he stole furniture or he was hoping you were a woman and was going to force his way in

6. I thought it was my friend at the door
He lives in the next apartment complex over and comes over when he gets into a fight with his partner. Lately, he has been over a lot, since all they do is fight. Drag queens are full of so much drama.

It's hard to be a vampire door-to-dor salesman. Have some compassion.

7. somebody knocking on your door ANY time of the day
selling furniture is strange to me. Unless I am clueless and door to door furniture salesmen are a common thing I have yet to experience.

8. well.. at this complex
people knock on the door trying to sell stuff all the time. You wanna buy a CD I just burned? Uh, NO I don't. Wanna buy this homemade tamales? Definitely no. I don't want any food from strangers. My mama didn't raise no dummy.

12. Well, that is odd.
Just maybe he was checking to see if anyone was home. I had that happen in Houston once. They knocked on my front door while another hopped the fence in the back. My dog tore the one in the back to pieces before he could get back over the fence.

14. That's even more odd.
You just never know, a friend of mine who's a cop told me they arrest people driving to 'drug areas' to buy drugs with their kids quite often.

Like I said, it's odd. Maybe his rent was due in the morning? Oh, who knows...

17. candygram
and next time check to see who is at the door before you open it.

hasn't this election taught us anything? like don't be so trusting when it comes to getting a vote counted and opening your door late at night?
