I live in agated complex that has a buzzer for the main gates. Yesterday we were all out until the early morning with the children at a family function. Obviously we all fell straight asleep until 8 am this morning when my enrtry phone keptbuzzing! I eventaully got out of bed and answered it and a woman very politely asked for the house if i could let her in. I said you have to buzz whoever it is you are visiting, you are waking us up, and put the phone down. I went back to bed only to be buzzed again at 8.15 (ignored) Then at 8.30. I got out of bed again. The same woman, apologetically said she couldn't get in as she didn't have a fob key yet and had tried all of the other houses and no one was answering. I got cross and said 'please stop buzzing me you are going to wake my children up' She stared speaking over me (something I hate) so I told her to stop interrupting me, and thanked her for waking me up multiple times. Eventually, begrudgingly, I let her in.
They are moving in next door.
Was I being unreasonable? Should I confess and make amends?? Or was she in the wrong?

I fear mrsruffallo won't return with any conclusion.

She had a previous thread where a lot of us saddos were waiting for her to come back with details and she never did.

Bet the estate agent cocked up. I remember moving into one rental property. Drove up 8 hours from my previous place, went into the office, signed the paperwork and picked up the keys (and fob). Asked specifically if this was all the keys, and whether I had both front and back door keys. Assured that was all of them. Bombed it back to the property (having overtaken the furniture van en route): the keys opened the top lock on the front door, and the bottom lock on the back door. But not the bottom lock on the front door, or the top lock on the back door. And the estate agent due to close...

So I'm betting that the estate agent has cocked up.

Sorry it has taken me so long to come back to this. Have been back to work and lots of crazy exhausting stuff happening (unrelated to thread). Anyway, an update;We had a lovely party, although disappointingly,they seemed determined to keep it from turning into a very drunken night . She has a dc the same age as my youngest who seems very sweet. She was very apologetic, her husband was supposed to be there but had popped into work first and he had the fobs, or picked them up on his way or something like that (can't remember the exact details). Both of them apologised lots of times.So all is well that ends well. They do seem lovely, if a little sedate, I am sure inconsiderate buzzing is out of character.

Didn't see this first time round but as a smug, rude, gated-community-dwelling fellow Londoner, YANBU. I would have given her an absolute earful the first time she did it and then put my entryphone on silent.
