I am currently staying in a Bed and Breakfast hosted by a family. The doorbell has been ringing intermittently for the past five minutes. The owners are currently attending other business and are unable to answer the door.
Should I answer the door?
Notes:
- The owners mobile phone number is printed on a sign just outside the building
- The time is 5:33pm
Thoughts:
- Could be another guest whose magnetic stripe card was lost or wiped
- Could be a genuine person looking for a room
- Could be opportunistic thieves
Best Answer
I answered the door. It was a genuine person looking for a room, they did not have a phone and were unable to call the owners. I proceeded to contact the B&B owners who arrived five minutes later.
