To think it's really ignorant to repeatedly ring a doorbell

[charlotte222]

Just snapped at pizza delivery man for doing this as I was on my way.

WIBU? It's one of my pet hates.

Nope - drives me mad. I heard it the fucking first time and I don't wait by the door to answer it just in case someone pops by.

That said, I was guilty of repeatedly ringing at my parents' house once. Though in my defence you couldn't hear the bell from the front door so I didn't know it had rung. My younger twat sister went nuts at me for that and wouldn't be told that we didn't know it had rung.

So if your doorbell is so far from the front door that the ringer couldn't hear it YABU, otherwise YANBU.

I think rude to snap at him depending on what your bell is like - sometimes it's hard to tell if you've pressed it, can't hear if it's rung etc. Perhaps he'd half rung it before and it hadn't actually rung so he'd been there a while etc...

I used to live in Egypt.

Without exception every knock on the door sounds like a police raid.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

THe gap between the first and second batch is about 4 seconds

I feel your pain.

Maybe he was in a rush/had loads of pizzas to deliver/on minimum wage/having a bad day.
How were the pizzas?

I don't really care, I can't get to the door any faster. No tip for him.

Yanbu.
Everyone round here seems to ring bell twice and try to bash the door down with knocking.. And if they actually listened u can hear the doorbell.
I actually told the postman not to do it as I have a daughter napping.. He hasn't done it since!!!
Totally agree to no tip! :)

This drives me potty too OP. Delivery drivers here often ring the doorbell (which can be heard from outside) and then batter the door / rattle the letterbox after I've already shouted that I'm coming. If they are particularly bad, I say something.

If I've acknowledged them, I can't see how battering the door helps with shit pay to be honest - it's just not necessary.

I don't have a door bell, too loud for me, would frighten the life out of me, they have to knock. Disconnect the bell.

YANBU
We muffles our bell with cotton wool as the delivery people are treble ringers round here.
Baby napping would be Instantly woken!
Plus the Postie who rings the bell and simultaneously knocks like a police officer about to raid the place didn't help either!
