"Pedir por alguien" in Mexico can only mean to pray for someone (or to ask for favours for someone).
Most people wouldn't understand here "pides por mí en la puerta" as "preguntar por alguien en la puerta". One can say "pides que me llamen" though.

OK - I assumed that living in Spain, you might want to leave a message in Spanish. Unless both your vistor and the guard are both English
I would guess that somebody with a username Sosia is female, and in this case I would guess wrong. |

I only can imagine "me pides." in the mouth of a prostitute that is trying to get a client asking for her in a brothel (not that I know, people just tell )
But "pides por mí" is OK as "la presencia" is "lo pedido".

Anyway, with that name you could either be male or female. I know you are a guy because you like flirting with fairies (literal meaning). Just kidding... Anyway, thanks for the classical info.

Me neither, but I have checked and there seem to be several in Greek...
