s/o poll: Front door
The poll below made me think of my SIL. When my ILs are in town my SIL and BIL always come over because our house is clean and their house "isn't fit for company" (but that is another post). So when we have a planned time for them to come over they always want to just walk right on in when they arrive. Of course this drives me crazy because it is my SIL, so I was wondering what is common practice.[Poll]

Re: s/o poll: Front door
i had a boyfriend off/on through highschool and a little after that would just walk right on in to my grandma's house (i live with grandma). i was always kind of suprised that he just did that. and if i wasn't in the living room, he'd walk right on into my room too. lol. i guess i was too smitten to really care. ha!
these days, i much prefer folks knocking and letting me answer the door.
I voted on knock, only because I'm paranoid of strangers coming into my house, and so my doors are locked. Unless it's a big party with lots of people, then the door is unlock, and I expect people to come in since I probably won't even hear the bell or knock.
But, when I go to my family or friends' houses, and they're expecting me, I always just walk in.
Come to think of it, since having Evan my parents always see us pull up and meet us on the driveway. They can't wait to see their only grandchild.

So Tasty, So Yummy
I voted for knock or ring the bell, but am sort of SS. I prefer that people knock or ring the bell, but we are close with our neighbors, so when we are pretty much expecting them, or they are expecting us, we just knock, yell, and walk in. Our kid and their kids always have to knock or ring and wait for someone to come to the door.
ETA: when I was growing up, my grandparents lived in the same house with my great-grandmother and my great-uncle. They never locked their back door, do we always just walked in.

this is pretty much us. or if my mom is coming in through the garage (only open if we know they are coming) she'll do the ever popular open the door while saying "knock knock!"
Our door is always locked, unless we're having a houseful of people, there's no choice but to knock and wait for us to unlock the door.
It wasn't like this growing up but after having a guy randomly walk into our first apartment because our door was unlocked (he had the wrong unit# for his friends) and then our house being robbed...we've become sticklers for always keeping the doors locked.
People walk in to my parents house if they are close friends and family.
We walk into my grandma's door also that lives in the country.
But people never stop by my house, so it's a door bell ringing door.
