Are there those who you would never answer the door for?

Yes, if I don't know you and you were not expected, I am not answering the door.  Hope you brought a pen and paper so you can leave me a note and leave your phone number and when I have time if I care, I may return your call.

Nope.   I never pass on the chance to tell some one to p*** off.

Seriously though,  I always answer.  I have to know why someone felt the need to knock.

I will NOT open the door to anybody who isn't expected. But since I live in a secured apartment I really don't have to worry!  LOL  

"I heard you knocking, but you can't come in!"  :)

You better believe it. 

Sometimes I don't even go downstairs when someone knocks.   My friends know to call before stopping by.  If I'm downstairs and I see someone approaching the door I look out the peep hole to watch them try to figure out what to do.  I have an old-time manual mechanical doorbell with the twist knob on the outside of my front door.  No one yet has known what that knob was for.  But everyone looks at it scratching their head.  So, they eventually just knock.

Three types of people come to my door---the ones I am expecting, the ones I am not interested in speaking to, and the ones that are unknown (wrong address, local fund raisers, etc.)

Fortunately the 3rd group is only about 10% of those who "ring."

That is somewhat dependent on my mood or what I am currently doing.

But I never feel obligated to answer a door bell or answer a ringing phone.

well, my doorbell is at the side of the garage
the garage door is my front door,
so any one that rings it
knows me or needs to see me.

Zombies. Best to avoid them.

Oh, and this guy:
