Must’ve been a frightening experience
I feel like I slept through the point where everyone decided to stop answering calls, answering doors and generally chose to turn to a life of hermitage. It would have been nice to get an email or something so I at least would have known.
I always use the little door knocker thingy
Oh look at Mr show-off here with his friends
XD
shit when i had friends they didnt knock they just came right in.
back in the before time. the long long ago
Some friends would stay for days. Friends would just roll up at a time we agreed, too. If they didn’t show, we wouldn’t know why unless we called their house.
The time without cell phones on our person was magical. For kids especially.
I had a best friend that used to sleep over all the time and if he couldn’t I slept over at his house. We went to the same school but lived two hours apart. Everyone thought we were a gay couple. Good times.
hi Bert!
You can still experience this. I’ve had this just in the past few weeks in a major city. Trust people again.
I’ve heard this about some countries/areas. I know this was common in parts of canada f.ex.
Edit: yeah that was a bit much lol
Texts/calls don’t set the dogs off, which is why I don’t ring the doorbell/knock
coming in will still set the dogs off so what’s the difference
The dogs are the doorbell!
I used to sneak up to one friends house and quietly scratch the door. Their dogs at the time used to love it. If I tried now the new dogs would eat me, door & all.
But if no-one knocks or ring the bell then the dogs won’t be conditioned to start barking.
What kind of conditioning do dogs get to perceive the doorbell as a threat anyway?
Seems like a dog should be able to handle things like doorbells and people. These are somewhat common things.
Bingo!
Nice to warn the dogs you’re about to waltz in though
as if pets won’t know you’re on your way when you’re 5 blocks away
Hey man, Dogs can get arrival notifications when they start pitching in for rent
