This assumes you live in a place where a coat is always needed. Although I suppose if you put on a coat in the summer you might look deranged which could help.
“Ok, I’ll walk with you.”
Do others have people they don’t like showing up at their front door without warning, expecting to be let in??
St Ives, average Cornish person. My kin have mastered the art of being very unsociable. You learn you have to when there are billions of tourists around where you live š

What if they offer to walk with you?
I feel like St. Ives is a classic place for reader-submissions to come from.
The painter LS Lowry used to do this – he even had a small bag by the door which he would pick up to add to the effect.
One day a rather annoying fan called and he did his usual trick. “Im just leaving” he said “Oh where to?” the fan asked “Er…. the railway station”. “No problem”, said the fan “Get in my car and I’ll give you a lift”.
Lowry then was taken all the way to the railway station. On the way, the fan asked him where he was going. Lowry said “London”. At the station, the fan insisted on carrying his bag for him and seeing him safely onto the London train. As the train departed, the fan waved him goodbye while Lowry wondered how the hell he had let this happen.
I just never open the door unless Iām expecting someone to knock. Someone I know or a package will message ahead of time
