AI Briefing
- It's never okay to enter someone's house without knocking, regardless of the time of day.
- A gentle knock on the door is a basic courtesy to announce one's presence and allow the homeowner to decide whether to let them in.
- Forcing entry, even at 7 a.m., is an invasion of privacy and can be considered harassment.
