    Lop I know it...I was clowning around. Door knockers provide some good entertainment, unless they interrupt action with the mistress

    Let me come at this from another angle......I tend to err on the side of compassion. I dont think Ive ever turned down someone asking me for food or money. Its probably one of my best investments ive ever made. Is there times when I thought someone wasn't being honest....Oh sure. have I had some interesting conversations and prayed with and for some wonderful people...I sure have. It also has to do with your surroundings. I understand there is a different need when im parked on Fulton Industrial in Atlanta vs. when im parked in Asheville NC.

    As far as knocking when im sleep, ive never in over 20 years answered the door.

    "Are you a Jehovah's Witness?"
    They answer no. At this point I put on a big smile and say "Would you like to become one?"

    And one time I had a very belligerent lot lizard who just didn't want to take no for an answer. I figured that threatening to call the law on her directly would just aggravate her even more, so I said "Look I know you're an undercover cop, so if you don't leave me alone I'm gonna have 'em send your sergeant out here and fill out a report for you harassing me."

    I only had door knockers back in the 1990s. I don't remember any since then. I ignored them if I was already in the sleeper. I never heard of anyone getting their truck damaged by not answering a knock on the door. There's a difference between a door knock from a lot lizard and a panhandler and a door knock letting you know your truck is on fire.
     
    nikmirbre and Boondock Thank this.

    The sign I've seen is "Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."

    " No trespassing prosecutors will be violated"....lol
    That's what me and my brother painted on an old shed we turned into a fort when we were kids. My dad has a picture of it somewhere.

    I had a buddy that had a lot lizard knock on his door once. He cracked the window and she asks if he wants company. As he gets ready to turn her down, she rips a nasty fart and it stinks, and the aroma hits his nose but that didn't deter her from trying to hustle lol.....she says this legendary line:

    "The fart stink but the p ussy clean....let me in!"

    She is not even trying to hear the word no. She's yanking on a door handle that's locked before he had to tell her to get the hell away from his truck! Lmao
