Everybody knocks

Deleted User

I am so fed up of people knocking instead of using the freaking doorbell.  Since I overlook the front I'm often the first point of contact, when the others have the TV on.

  • YES! Me too! I get Amazon drivers, charity collectors and others ringing the bell and then knocking on the door. It really annoys me and causes me a lot of stress, especially if I’m not feeling great to start with. Recently, I have taken a few deep breaths, opened the door, and asked them politely to please refrain from damaging my paintwork by knocking on it. I point out that the purpose of a doorbell is to alert me to callers at the door. 

    I think some callers feel that I will respond quicker if they bang the door as well.
