“As a kid, did you ever knock on people’s doors and run away before they could answer?” (joke)

Delivery vehicles (such as UPS) often have their employees knock on a door, and then walk away before the person can answer. “As a kid, did you ever knock on people’s doors and run away before they could answer? Well, guess what? UPS is hiring!” is a joke that has been printed on many images.
