It’s a great reminder that being polite doesn't mean we have to compromise our security. Great tips

I never open or even answer the door to strangers. That is unadvisable.

The worst advice given over and over on this video is to open the door!! DO NOT open the door. You can talk to them through it or through a window. If you are a woman alone they can just push past you and drag you inside. You don’t have any obligation to open the door.

I called the cops about a guy going door- to- door at 10pm at night and 20 degrees. The cops were not interested. I told them that if there was a crime that night, I will be telling the victim that I called and you refused to even drive by.

If they ask for a drink of water tell them they can drink from the hose.

A trick my mom taught me: if you leave the TV on fairly low, or a radio tuned to a talk show, when you are outside, it sounds exactly like people having conversation. I tested it! Lol 👍

“Don’t open” can be good advice when something could bring unnecessary trouble, temptation, or harm into your life. You don’t have to open every door, answer every message, or entertain every opportunity. Use discernment, some doors are better left closed. 🚪🙏✨
