A little before 2:00 this afternoon the UPS truck pulled into my driveway. This time of year it’s staffed by two UPS men. The helper put a package on the stoop and rang the bell. Before he could leave I opened the door. I was still in pajamas.
We talked about the brutal cold for a moment then the driver asked if it was OK for them to ring the bell? Did it wake me?
I said “no” and walked back inside.
“Really,” Helaine asked? She was smiling, but incredulous.
The implication was this was a question asked of TV-boy which wouldn’t be asked of others. She thinks I’m spoiled.
OK, she knows I’m spoiled.
Did you mean, “No, it’s not okay to ring the bell” or “No, I was awake?” When our child was an infant I had to disable the doorbell.
It didn’t wake me. It is OK to ring the bell.
The sound of the doorbell ringing on my motel owner’s apartment door makes me sick. I have a security camera in my bedroom but, I can never make it in time to avoid the damaging ringing of the doorbell reverberating in my head. lol.
My doorbell sometimes rings several times a day and I get bothered for the most unnecessary things from my tenants.
