(Yes, I notice the example of "neighbor knocking on your door and
demanding that you call the fire department on his behalf".)  Do not
admit people who ask to use your phone, especially if you do not know
them, because this can be used as an excuse by a criminal to get into
your premises.  Instead, offer to make the call yourself.
