history: when someone was pounding on my door hard The other day some guy was pounding so hard on my door for almost 5 minutes. I didnt even want to answer it was so sketchy!  Wow_comma_ haven't people heard of knocking once and waiting? That sounds worrisome.
current: Exactly, I would never pound on someones door. It was during the day, and I had a peephole and seen neighbors outside so I finally decided to answer it to see what he wanted but it had me scared. 
next: Was he a salesman?
