I have been known to hide, rather than open the door unless I know who is there. I do feel obliged to answer emails, but they don't have the same immediacy as the other two situations. Email doesn't intrude in the same way.<br />Is this antisocial behaviour? Protectionist? Or merely unfriendly?Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858653306179033669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913440299679310512.post-52317525653930565252009-12-08T21:45:42.652-05:002009-12-08T21:45:42.652-05:00I used to have a really hard time not answering th...I used to have a really hard time not answering the phone or the door, until I had a child. Now, not answering the door is extremely easy - in fact, I actually look through the HUGE window to see who it is and if I don't know them, I don't answer. I no longer even care if they see me check, then turn away. LOL!<br /><br />The phone took longer to ignore and I can rarely, if ever, do it while at work. But at home, I can ignore it thanks to call display.<br /><br />Emails are trickier and I try to always respond if a response is required.<br /><br />You?Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479917054269627249noreply@blogger.com
