Cold Doors 2020 - Discussion Thread

I just found it physically difficult to knock with some force once I started getting bruises. And didn't know if y'all used gloves, rings, knuckle pads or whatever tricks to preserve your hands from injury. I'll try some of the things mentioned and report back.

Go canvassing with a pair of brass knuckles.

Is that really a thing with guys that knock doors?

Bloody knuckles are a badge of honor to a door knocker.

Ooops



Ooops

If that's the case, then "she" would have more tender knockers than "he".

Show me a pic of your hands then....if they're not calloused and bleeding then you're definitely a woman. But not any kind of woman....a fairy princess.

Plus the other dude upthread just said he had arthritis and wasn't using his bare knuckles. So.....

Right! ...... Till you damage them to the point you can't knock anymore (Or do whatever else you need with your hands)

Don't worry though - I'll write you disability policy but you're going to have to do it now before your hands get bloody and crippled and before you hit 55

You'd be a little late. Oh to be 55 again.

Sorry it's late and jokes aside - chick fila has free nuggets so y'all should go there after a day of door knocking

I'd forgotten about the golf ball. That's a good one. You can also alternate hands hands...be a "switch hitter". I always knock with my right hand...I wouldn't want to be accused of being a Lefty.

If you don't kick to hard, with lots of practice, you can knock with the toe of your shoe.

For some reason it dawned on me today to switch hands.

And just now realizing we have 3 sets to knuckles on each hand so I'll be alternating for sure now.
