A young man selling insulation with a paper looking official. I kept my distance but will check my Ring Doorbell next time.

the doorbell, I won't hear it, thus, I ignore the summons totally (unknowingly, a good thing, eh?).

This doesn't sound right, or, rump demanded that all federal workers work w/o protection (I know census workers are temp. workers but still).

I didn't think twice...we laughed a little afterwards...yet, the anxiety was there for both wife and client....Wife is going to post a sign on the door today...NO Mask...go away!

I still am barely able to hear anything, the dogs I have are much better at catching someone at the door, but in 99% of the time, I ignore. No one is supposed to be at my front door unless invited by me. Otherwise, I ignore. They can't say that I am being rude or such, being that they already know that I can't hear worth a crap. And in 100% of the time I do answer, it is junk, period. Buy this, buy that, whatever. Don't ever answer the door is a good motto of mine, the same thing w/ my phone too, don't answer. So, I'm lucky if I get a phone call during the week.

A good motto. Don't answer the door, don't answer the phone.

You don't get onto a list of some sort, thus saving you hassle long term, from both. The same thing could also apply to emails, especially junk ones, don't ever, ever, answer them or even respond to them (like the phone), if they know that they got even a response, they'll just pick up the pace and call you even more.

Most important stuff such as papers etc. come in the mail anyways.

And got a notification on the phone that someone was at the front door. It was a young man on a Segway that walked up on the porch, rang the doorbell, stepped off of the porch (social distancing?) waited for a bit then left. No mask in sight. Maybe he had one stuffed in his pocket but it wasn’t evident. You’d think if he had one that he’d put it on before ringing the bell, in anticipation of someone coming to the door.

Maybe since the " lock down" is essentially over we need to step up our awareness in a defensive fashion! It is only going to get worse....like the " Wild, Wild West" for COVID-19 Protections.

at my place of business (which is closed for now and will remain that way for a while)
I STILL go in to work to do administrative tasks etc.
my car is out frot, and it is obvious I am there (relatively small town)
I have signs posted that the building is not open to the public at this time:
I lock the handle on the front door just in case somebody wants to waltz in

THEN I put a notice up> after someone indeed tried to just walk up and walk in

If I am in the building working, I cannot answer your knock on the door
Due to the pandemic, I must take all precautions, including social distancing
so I cannot come face-to-face with anyone.
If I am here, please call the phone #, and I will certainly take your call

I think I'll put one on my front door as well

I wear my mask when I go out. Several people did for the last month, too. But now, at Meijer, at Home Depot, or Kroger, I see fewer masks on faces. Lots are full of cars, too. It scares me.

No mask, young guy, probably in his twenties. To his credit, he stepped back to at least six feet when I opened the door, but still. They should not be doing this door-to-door stuff right now, especially when they're not masking to do it, you're right.

Overall..that is cumulative stress...thanks for sharing your experience.
