Your Home is Your Castle
A week or so ago my wife tells me there was someone banging on my door with a vengeance. That's why I have a security system - my wife and I don't answer the door for anyone who approaches us like this. So I figure it was election BS or whatever. A week later I am playing around on my tractor and this car pulls in my driveway and a big guy walks out and approaches me on my tractor with a clipboard. I shut the tractor off - don't get down and he tells me that he has legal papers for me. I could tell this was the same guy my wife talked about.
Seems someone got in a car accident and owed someone $1500. It turns out there are two people on the street with my last name. The other guy with my name told this guy it wasn't his accident (but neglected to tell the guy he had a son with the same name). After the guy was convinced I knew nothing of the accident he left and I haven't seen him again. By the way - he did inform me he was a retiree of the sheriff's dept and was working for some extra $$.
But this kinda torqued me off. My house is my castle and I don't want any a**hole pulling into my driveway and presenting me with legal papers. I don't want election people coming onto my driveway either. (the last of which was blatantly gay.) I don't want anyone but friends, family, and tractor point members stopping by. How do you approach uninvited trespassers to your house?

Ha! That is clearly one way to avoid this sort of stuff. Now that I can work from home maybe I WILL move 100 miles from work. But does anyone still meet people at the door with a 12 gauge shotgun? Come on, make me feel at home

SG8NUC, as a kid I always remember that my best friend insisted that there were alligators in the swamp at the bottom of the hill. It took a long time to convince him otherwise

Rivers and cinder blocks are also useful tools for making people disappear. I have a 6'8" casket I made I keep in the attic. I built it when my daughter started dating a boy who was 6'7" - and pointed it out to him. I bring it out on halloween - it is always useful for scaring little kids.

My neighbor recently had the Sopranos show leave a note in his mailbox asking for permission to use his house for a show. They were going to make some changes to the place which would be paid for by the show. Unfortunately he was on vacation. The town I grew up in around here was all Italian. Everyone's name ended in a vowel. Cement shoes are second nature. Everyone gets fitted for them. PTO wood chippers were always highly regarded.
