[BatmanX]

Apartment here, so yes, all the time.
Since looking through the peephole is a prime way to get yourself in a heap of trouble, I usually stand to the side of the door in the kitchen and yell out.
There is a small space of light that comes under my door, so I assume they can see me if I can see them.

I usually have the conversation through the door - from the kitchen - racked and decocked (DA), as there is NO ONE that comes to my door that I haven't talked to on the cell phone before they get there. If you are knocking on my door, you shouldn't be.

And I live in a "good" hood.
