Hm. In our building, the policy is that noone is to let in anyone they do not expect or know through the main door. So such visits are not common. But I've had:
  • Very insisting alarm sales people (I recall one of them asking me if I knew what carbon monoxide was. I was tempted to answer that I feared dihydrogen monoxide more ...)
  • Jehovah's witnesses
  • Greenpeace activists attempting to recruit new members. It was a nice warm sunny day and still one of them wore Wellingtons :D
But weird people like those you describe there, @Perun ... not yet.

Same here. She rang the bell at the main door earlier, but I didn't open. I never do when I'm not expecting anyone.

Come to think of it, the house (and my flat) was very quiet, and due to the hallway arrangement, I usually hear it when the bell is rung for other flats. I didn't hear it, this time though. I'd rather not think up scenarios how she came in...

Teleporting? Climbing through a ventilation duct? People who are stalked by extreme leftists must take desperate measures.
 
I'm thinking she might have gotten in via the back door. It's not always locked and there is a construction site next door.
 
Do these buildings have a generic buzz for mail delivery, etc? Flats here have a "trade" buzz that lets them in up until a certain time.
 
We don't, but we have something that does the same. Some services, e.g. mail delivery, have their own key, for a separate lock (and I suppose that lock can only be opened during certain hours).
 
I live in a street like Coronation Street (similar houses too) and our front door opens right out on to the street. We have countless sales people etc. But we also have a stable door on account of dogs. Opening that up confuses the buggers and as our dogs won't stop yapping at them, we just politely say "can't hear" and close the door.

:lol: That's a great way to handle sales people! I also like to mess with ones who call.

The F chord on the guitar is the single most greatest sounding chord. Ever.

I don't know the names of the chords that I play so I have the check them online, but my favorite chord is C7/E. A very distinctively Turkish sounding chord, that may be the reason why.
