I will never allow a stranger in our house. At this day and age, no one is safe with all the crimes happening around us. It's not that I am selfish or something. I would just like to exercise utmost care.

No way! And if a stanger showed up at my door they would be way hopelessly lost because I live 20 miles beyond the far edge of the boondocks. My dogs would never let him get close enough to knock in the first place.

I'm afraid not. There are too many weirdos out there these days and you ever hear about on the news are home invasions and beatings. If the person needed the phone, I might let them use my cell, but they are not setting foot inside my place and definitely not to use my bathroom...something a little gross and weird about that.....LOL

Absolutely not. Sadly, in this day and age, you cannot be sure anyone - even a child or elderly person - might not be up to something no good if they ask to use your facilities. They might be working with someone else who can then barge in behind them. I have, though, been known to allow someone to use my cordless phone on the porch if they seem to be really in distress.

No way, i live in an apartment and we have an inter-phone at the staircase entrance so i wouldn't. We have a lot of thief here and also a lot of people full of bad intentions so i like to be careful instead of sorry.
