    This is why you should have an automatic firearm. Own the b@stard.

    I'd have to answer it. The curiosity would just get the better of me.

    Why didn't you answer the bloody door?

    now we're all wondering who the hell it was. Jeasus.

    WUM.. methinks

    Something similar happened my mate a year or two ago. Someone started banging frantically on his door at bout 2 in the morning and shouting help theres an emergency.

    So he wakes up sharpish runs down and opens the door. But as he opens the door the guys throw a big bucket of bright blue paint all over him and then do a legger.

    The funny thing is he found the guys the next day... the spent the night on the streets and he was driving to work and sees these teenagers pissed drunk and having blue paint on their hands and blue patches on their clothes.... Ill leave the next 5 mins of what happend up to your imagination.
    I thought it was funny anyway... even if it was my mate that it happend to.

    has this ever happened to anyone at this late hour though?

    Happens to me friends all the time. I get meself in a right ould drunken state and decide that all my friends must be awake aswell and in the mood for a session so I call into them. If their asleep or dont hear the door I just ring em. Done it so much that now they just answer and tell me to fook off. Then call down ot me the next day to tell me what I was blabbering on about. In me own head I dont believe em and can almost swear that I walked home not a bother in a straight line all the way.

    OP should maybe change his name to PussyKing? :pac:

    It could have been a psycho, yes.

    It also could have been someone who was in desperate need of help (they may have run into trouble nearby and are seeking refuge/medical attention). They are possibly knee-deep in a pool of their own blood. They are slowly fading. Well done op. Your Medal of Honour will be sent by registered post. You should have it by Wednesday.

    Now this is the story all about how
    My life got flipped, turned upside down
    And Id like to take a minute just sit right there
    Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

    In west philadelfia born and raised
    On the playground where I spent most of my days
    Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
    And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys said were up in no good
    Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
    Just heard knocking on the door and then the door bel rung,
    And my aunty said you're moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air

    As far as memes go this has to be one of the lamest.

    Don't answer the door. I know someone who did once and they died.

    Oh, and this.

    happened to me twice.

    once in cambridge when it was a balling eight year old asking for some help because someone has just bottled her father over the head outside out house. That was around 2am. Called the cops and an ambulance and with some help from some passer bys (including a doctor just off duty) kept the guy concious and calmed the kid down.

    and another time earlier this year in dublin when at about 4am there was a loud banging and yelling from my front door, went to answer and discovered it wasnt my door but the door across from mine being banged, some woman had been turfed out of the apartment in a drunken state (and half undressed) and was kicking at the door and scraming for whoever it was on the inside to let her back in, she started swearing and screaming at me when I opened the door. I should have rung the police because of the disturbance, but I was up anyway playing COD4 so just went back to that until she plssed off.

    It has happened to me, but it was a little bit scarier.

    I was in my new girlfriend's apartment. We were in bed.

    I heard a banging on the door. I then realised it was someone kicking down the door.

    It turns out it was her HUSBAND.

    Not only was it the first I'd ever heard about her being married, but it turns out she had been bringing me for drinks in the bar where he worked as a doorman.

    They were seperated because he used to beat her in public. He had a criminal record for assault.

    To make matters worse, she wanted to let him into the apartment.

    No way hose.

    I managed to get the Gardai to come so I could make a safe getaway.

    Needless to say I now have a different opinion of people knocking on doors in the middle of the night. :o

    At about 4:00am this morning there was a girl banging on my front door and screaming at the top of her voice.
    I let her out and the noise stopped.

    it turns out that someone was knocking on the door to tell me my lights were on in my car. Had to jump start the car this morning. grrr If only I opened the door. Let that be a lesson to all of you. Open the door to anyone who knocks after hours

    Yes, happended to me before. Was about 4 in the morning, heard a loud banging on the door, I went to see who it was without answering. "Hello?" Then, in some junkie voice.."It les, I just want a drink of water". Im sure I would have got a needle in the ye if I opened the door.

    I never answer my front door, no one who i know calls to my door unannounced so its only going to be either, sales people, Jehova witnesses, window cleaners, tv license inspector or the gardai.

    However if someone knocks on the door late at night, i deffot answer it. It could be a group of drunk lost nymphos looking for a room for the night.
