@PocketBrain my house has a sign I ordered that says No sales calls No religious visits. It might help but it’s been a while. Being on a long private road might help too where there are a few old curmudgeons, some with shotguns. So basically they stay away.
@fullofquarks if 2 or 3 guys show up in suits I will know now. In the “old” days it might have been the FBI, but now they will roll with an armored team so a different world.

Lots of sounds are “creepy” when you’re falling asleep in a new place. Then it goes away…
As far as things I actually hear sometimes. tires on gravel. Cause my drive is by far not the one you would choose to go in vs the neighbors flat drive like 10 feet over and on the other side. years ago right after I bought it. Guy just ran out of gas at a point where I guess my drive was a better turn than theirs? Middle of the night. Was a little weird. But I sometimes hear someone coming out of their drive when I’m half asleep and can’t fully process yet.
Doorbell? Who is here and why… No one asked you to be here… Guess that’s Jehovah’s witness.
I guess if I didn’t invite you (meeting request) or you didn’t say you were coming (unexpected teams call) … I’m not ok with that lol.
Unexpected visits are unwelcome in the modern age.
Waking up to cat throwing up sound.
@pmarin this is so real
@pmarin
Squishy sound when you step in it after not waking to the puking sound.
@pmarin @PocketBrain you didn’t have to write this
I can feel the cold slop on my foot already
@pmarin I don’t have cats anymore but that sound is still fresh in my mind after 15 years.
@Fuzzalini @pmarin
/giphy yuck gagging
Ok, hear me out… The sound of silence…
@ragingredd
I see what you did there.
Jehovah’s witnesses.

“Hey, do you have a minute to chat?”
