I guess it`s happened to us all. you knock on someones door. they answer, and say hey we have a bell you know? and sometimes push it to demonstrate it works. well today I said. you heard me and answered the door so whats the problem?
Just got a mutter of some sort and shut the door. I don`t expect any comeback on this but christ some people could start an argument in a empty room.

It is weird isn't it, there's a house on one of the walks I cover where it's obviously a HUGE issue to him if you knock on the door instead of or as well as ringing the bell.

He's quite polite and doesn't get angry but he always makes a big point of saying that there is definitely no need whatsoever under any circumstances to knock on the door.

I don't know why his front door is so precious that he doesn't want anyone touching it!

I had this many times in last heat wave, most were out in the garden don't hear bell but still say "We have a bell you know"

These two main one get me, had a number of Mothers bring their baby to door some with & glass wine then get the ass have put one down to sign PDA.
Why do you have bring baby to door I don't need to know you have one, it can survive 2 minutes with out you!
Another one I get "Your late today did you get lost"

I ring the bell and knock EVERY time. I have great pleasure in not caring when they moan. What REALLY pees me off is when you get a "you didn't knock at my house and I was in" complaint!! Yeah like I stood there writing the P739 card for the good of my health

There's a house on a round I sometimes to which has a doorbell (which you can't hear from outside, though it apparently works) and a large door knocker. The first time I delivered a parcel to said address I rang the doorbell, didn't hear anything so used the knocker as well ... Cue the "lady of the household" shouting at me for having the temerity to use her door knocker! Did leave me wondering why she had a door knocker fitted if she didn't want anyone to use it though.

Its something I had to come to terms with... there are all sorts of people out there. I have had moans for knocking too loudly, not knocking loud enough, knocking too many times, ringing the bell (when I should have knocked), not waiting long enough, waiting too long (was writing out a p739 and the woman wanted me off her property and didnt want to be bothered at all that day). You name it. Whatever you do, you will get complaints so just do whatever you do and sod them. I always ring once and knock twice smartly. f**k them if it aggrevates them.

I've got one on my delivery. A right whining/awkward sort. She lives on a single row cul de sac. I'd knock on door, no answer, P739 duly delivered. When I'd finished cul de sac, she'd be waiting with P739 saying she hadn't heard me knock, as I walked back past her house. This happened twice. After that, If she has a packet, I re jig the delivery order and do her last. Knock, no answer, P739 and run. Lately, she seems to have got the message and actually answers the door.

The number of customers who come to the front door only to find its....locked....and there no key!!

D'oh where would I put the most important things in my house? Is it in the other room? Behind the cupboards? Under the floorboards???

I tend to post any mail before writing out the 739 now. Funny how mail dropping on the floor brings customers to the door straight away, but a knock gets ignored.

They don't piss me off as much as the ones who hide behinde aglass door and refuse to answer until you put the card through, let you go down the path, then open up and say " I was in the bathroom/ kitchen/garden..blagh blagh blagh. / you didn't knock" Oh no you don't hear the door bell, knocker...but the sound of a red card hitting your carpet gets you racing to the door !
