Just moved into converted house, im below a guy.
Twice he was over knocked on my door, by this I mean he will ring my bell even though he has access to my flat door because his is in the same building.
So he rings my bell, then again, then let's himself in and knocks on my door, then says something like. "Hello" then rings my bell again.
The two times before he did this was for nothing important, it was to discuss a lock change the HA doing.
It wasn't a nesscary conversation and wasn't urgent like he made out by ringing my door like he was police

He has just done this again
I'm in bed and just had eye surgery and he woke me up.
I have one of those bells that if you leave your finger on it it will ring forever
He pressed it 5 times and knocked on my door
I'm in complete silence
I don't know if he is stupid or something to not understand im either out or sleeping since I'm in complete silence I don't know

But now I'm pissed off, I'm in pain from surgery last time he did this I was grieving for my mother.
I don't know him for him to be ringing down my door like this
Nothing he would say will be important because I do not know him
He knows. Nothing about me
If he had to give me anything he can leave it on the side because he lives in the same building.

Aibu ?
When he rings again I want to tell him to not ever ring my door like that and if I ignore the door go away
How do I put this politely?

Back to the OP, could you disconnect or silence the doorbell temporarily? Maybe he will assume it's broken by the time you get around to putting it back on and not bother you anymore.

Or just pop a sigh up explaining you do not wish to be disturbed? I wouldn't put why down in case he keeps popping over to check on you or something.

SilverNightFairy · 07/08/2015 21:03

I'm sorry you are experiencing this, OP. Your restraint has been admirable as I might have thrown the door open and shrieked "LAY OF THE FECKING BELL!"

ModernToss · 07/08/2015 21:03

crustsaway has major goady form. Best ignored.

Pimms time here. Lurvely!

Supervet · 07/08/2015 21:13

Op I had a landlord like this. He was doing work on the property downstairs so could hear I was in. Turn the bell off and say you weren't in if he says anything.

Wombat22 · 07/08/2015 21:13

I feel your pain op. I agree with leaving a note on your door.

crusts You've accused 'the same' people of being nasty on this thread. I've never come across you before and I don't 'know' anyone else on this thread, but as far as I can see you have been the only person showing any nastiness here. If you can't accept that you're in the wrong or have made a mistake, then just bow out of the thread. You aren't doing yourself any favours here.

crustsaway · 07/08/2015 21:13

hahaha, typical, it ends in camaraderie by the serial offended.

Im actually working, zossi so no vino for me until 10 Sad

ScrambledSmegs · 07/08/2015 21:15

More like the people who are refusing to rise to toss-pottery.

But hey, semantics Smile.

Msgrinch, you can have all the Ferrero rocher, I've got a migraine brewing and am off to bed Sad

redbinneo · 07/08/2015 21:16

Only 45 minutes crust

Icimoi · 07/08/2015 21:17

OP, I'm wondering whether your neighbour rings on the doorbell because he thinks it's more polite to do it that way than just to come knocking on your door.

I'm sorry you're in so much pain, and I suspect that that's affecting your reaction. You can't assume that he couldn't possibly have anything important to say to you. He might need to tell you about some problem with the house, for instance, or he might have taken in a parcel for you. But whether he is or not, the quickest way to dispose of the problem is to answer the door and tell him that you're too unwell to speak to him. Assuming he's gone away again, if you want to stop him coming back put a note on the door saying that you're ill and asking that you should not be disturbed.

Ok crusts.

Wombat22 · 07/08/2015 21:20

I understand your call Dixie. I'm just saying the only nastiness I can see has come from crusts

crustsaway · 07/08/2015 21:20

You still trying to slag me off there Dixie. Have wine! enjoy. I know I will in, as Red just said, 45 mins.

crustsaway · 07/08/2015 21:23

YakTriangle · 07/08/2015 21:23
