To wish delivery drivers would ring the doorbell

Instead of banging on the glass panels on my door?

Do delivery drivers bang on your door or is it just me they’re angry with.
It really startles me when I hear the aggressive bang and wonder if others have had the same experience. Maybe it just sounds louder when it echoes indoors.
If anyone’s DP or DH are delivery drivers do you know why they prefer to rap on the door instead of ringing the doorbell?

Mine knock and run away if you dont answer the door in 2.467 seconds OR they use their keys or fingernail to press my Ring doorbell, now resulting in a damaged, split/cracked button/bellpush. Twats.

Calm down Darren, you're delivering a bulk order of toilet paper, you're not the harbinger of the apocalypse.

Love it!

I bet they come across loads of doorbells that don't work, it's probably quicker to knock everyone than try and figure out if the bell has actually rung and wait on the doorstep for ages.

DH used to be a delivery driver, and exactly this ^^ That was mostly takeaways, so a slightly different kettle of fish, but he says you get fed up standing around waiting for people to answer when you have a car load of food getting cold.
