Shouted at for knocking on a door AIBU

[bridgeoft]

I was knocking on a door and someone shouted for fucks sake shut up at me

Err yes - i am even more sceptical that thats all that happened

I live in a block of flats and people understsnd that people knock on doors

Tbh if you only knocked at a normal strentgh for maybe two knocks i'd assume it wasnt me they were telling to shut up

If you were using your full force to hammer on the door and youd left the car engine going tyen yes it waw aimed at you and be more considetate

It’s an odd thing for a first post on MN TBH.

Someone’s knocking at the door
Somebody’s ringing the bell
Someone’s knocking at the door
Somebody’s ringing the bell
Do me a favour open the door
Tell um to fuck off!

Were you knocking for a long time? Or excessively loudly.

Drip....drip......drip.......

Doorbells are a wonderful invention.

I have no knocker.

Policemen sometimes bang on doors.

If you're knocking on someone's door long and loud enough to disturb someone a few doors down, then yes, YABU.

YABU for posting less than half a story.

What's the AIBU?

Yes

HTH

Stop attention seeking. Either tell the story in full, or don’t

I'm a health care professionalnand recently visited a client just home from hospital. I knocked once on his flat door and his neighbour yelled 'stop fucking banging'. Then when my colleague and I left an hour later and walked down the stairs talking in normal voices he threw open his door after 10 seconds and yelled at us again.
So I can empathise OP, it's not nice, but I have no idea why you have posted a thread about it.

What time of day? What day of the week? How loudly?

What Mission said.

Spit it out or go back to bed OP. This is getting tiresome now

Did you go on for ages? If so, I’ve been known to shout similar.

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

I reckon OP is a Mil and forgot that she is only allowed to visit once every 3 months for half an hour when Dil has gone on a spa day.

What’s it with all the half story posts on Mumsnet today?

Ummm let's see ..... why didn't you ring them? Knocking in the door is a bit outdated and full on. Hth.

Definitely a jehovas witness with a watchtower booklet 🤣

Does the house you were knocking at get a lot of visitors? It can be really annoying in housing that’s so close together. My NDNs have at least 10 visitors a day and I’m starting to think they might be up to something! I don’t knock and haven’t done so in 10 years since having a smartphone, it’s not necessary. Only do so when I can’t tell the person I’m there by phone so saves annoying neighbours/waking babies etc

Sounds like another MN user!
