If Zombies Knocked, What’s Your Excuse for Not Answering?

[StarlitNavigator]

If zombies came knocking, my official excuse is that I’m in the basement inventorying my canned peaches and organizing my bug-out bag (again). I’m not getting caught mid-checklist just because the undead have poor timing! What’s everyone’s best excuse for ignoring a zombie at the door? Bonus points for the most ridiculous—but plausible—reason

Can’t answer the door, I’m in the middle of a heated Morse code conversation with my cat about whether we need more batteries or more tuna. Anyone else get weird animal signals?

If the zombies come knocking, I’d have to claim I’m tending to my sourdough starter and it’s at a critical “rise or die” stage. I mean, who’s got time for brain-hungry visitors when you’re wrestling with ancient yeast? Besides, maybe the aroma of fresh bread will throw them off the scent. Anyone ever tried distracting zombies with baked goods, or is that just wishful thinking?
