To be angry with my postman for ringing the doorbell!

[NoTeaForMe]

Whenever the postman needs me to open the door he rings ding-ding, ding-dong. Two rings in quick succession. Quite often he will see me in the lounge first and then he'll still do two rings twice! He'll see me wave so I know, he'll watch me stand up and he'll still ding-dong ding-dong on the door. It's so irritating.

Normally happens while my toddler is asleep, but I just don't understand it-it drives me mad!

There are starving children in Africa who don't have doorbells. Won't someone think of the CHILDREN?????

Seriously though, if it's bothering you then tell them. Or put a sign on the door.

Disconnect the doorbell ! Put a sign up !

What do have delivered so often that cannot be out through the letter box that the postman has to constantly ring your bell ?

2 rings on the bell rather than 1.....I really don't know what this world is coming to.

There is no hope for our poor children.

The postman always rings twice.........

Annoying though i agree.

It doesn't really happen that often, but every time I do he does it. I also take deliveries for neighbours when needed.

I have asked twice at least that he doesn't need to ring the doorbell twice like that, especially when I saw him first!

Seems particularly stupid if he's already seen you walking towards the door. Just ask him not to as the baby is sleeping - but you shouldn't need to!

Youcanringmybell did you name change for this?!

So Notea The Postman Always... ?

Chipping finally, thankyou for agreeing with me!

Obviously I know it's not the end of the world or as bad as starving children, I didn't realise AIBU had to be so serious.

Totally I'm afraid Youcanringmybell got there first!

Perhaps the postman has a 'thing' for you ?

Yep, must think/type quicker next time.

Well he's going about it all the wrong way Chimp !

My postie does the two rings. I know it's him. I like it.
