And? What’s the punchline?

howdyholdthedoody · 14/10/2018 11:33

Not enough detail

Dhapeer · 14/10/2018 11:33

What were you knocking for?

Jozen · 14/10/2018 11:34

Is there more to the story?

Urbanbeetler · 14/10/2018 11:34

Are you a Jehovah’s Witness with very shiney shoes, a brown skirt and flat, lifeless hair?

Sorry - but it was a bit early.

Urbanbeetler · 14/10/2018 11:35

Are you three small boys dressed in sheets and skeleton masks asking for candy?

Sorry, it was a bit early.

Are you trying to sell me beta ware-type cleaning products?

The last mop broke after three uses. Bye.

Womaningreen · 14/10/2018 11:36

if you are an unexpected caller, they did the right thing.

YABVVVVU.

Harrykanesrightsock · 14/10/2018 11:37

Well I saw you pull up in your car and didn’t want to see you

SheSparkles · 14/10/2018 11:37

Were they a mumsnetter and it was after 6:30pm and you hadn’t given the requisite 3 months’ notice?

Oddcat · 14/10/2018 11:37

Whose door were you knocking on ? What time of day was it ? Were you selling anything?

FilledSoda · 14/10/2018 11:38

Were you expected or invited ?
When I was a child we weren't allowed to call for friends on a Sunday because it's a family day, even now I hesitate to disturb anyone on a Sunday .

Were you playing knock knock ginger op?

Womaningreen · 14/10/2018 11:40

so the OP has knocked on the AIBU door, been told to fuck off, and run away.
Confused

blueskiesandforests · 14/10/2018 11:41

When were you knocking on a doir and for how long?

Continually for 15 minutes at 5am - YABU.

A normal brief knock at 10am - YANBU, the shouter is.

You must have been knocking and perhaps calling out too for ages to be shouted at to shut up surely?

bridgeoft · 14/10/2018 11:41

It wasn’t the person who’s door I was knocking on who shouted but someone a few doors down

Fattymcfaterson · 14/10/2018 11:42

How do you know they were shouting at you?
How early was it?
How many times did you knock?

Livedandlearned2 · 14/10/2018 11:43

Do you know it was at you? Probably hungover or had no sleep for whatever reason. I wouldn't give it another thought.

FilledSoda · 14/10/2018 11:44

You must have been making a right racket for that to happen, how long were you knocking?
It isn't polite to keep banging away if no one answers.

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 14/10/2018 11:44

Yes ermmm it woukd be very odd to shout that at some one just knocking at a door
(And im some one who doesnt actally anser the door ever unless i know who it is and why),
Theres clearly more to this

FilledSoda · 14/10/2018 11:45

Was it very early?

Urbanbeetler · 14/10/2018 11:47

Unless it was very early or you were ridiculously loud, just ignore the shouter.

SoupDragon · 14/10/2018 11:47

Maybe be quieter.

SoupDragon · 14/10/2018 11:48

What is your aibu anyway?

BumbleBored · 14/10/2018 11:49

Like pulling teeth....
