I preferred ringing the House Holders door bell. If I couldn't hear it. I'd do it again, just in case. lol If I then couldn't hear it, I would knock.
When I knocked, it was a neighborly knock...Not a "Your House Is On Fire And You Had Better Answer This Door Right Now", knock.
Which were you?
Just Lois
When I could get away with it I often pretended to ring the bell and hoped they wouldn't notice me at the doorstep so I didn't have to talk to anyone
Personally, I was always on the lookout for knockers.
I was a pioneer who is fully acquainted with the "pioneer stroll", since that was the pace I prefered, and I also perfected the art of looking like I rang the doorbell when I really didn't. I never liked working with the new pioneers, since they were far more zealous than I.
Once, I rang the bell and it jammed. The house was well insulated and I couldn't hear it until the lady finally came to the door. She was mad as a wet hen. Sorry Mrs. Merriwether!
One day I went to press the button but I see some wires sticking out the wall with some old tape on, looking a bit of a mess.
So I took the two wires, scraped the rust off and bashed them together twice to ring the bell, and a few seconds later the man came out astonished like he'd witnessed a miricle.
pioneer stroll---lol---ive used that phrase for many years. how many times do you see 2 sisters on a doorstep--chatting away for ever--well aware theres no one home ? what do the neighbours think?
One knocker and split.
I knocked very, very quietly and hoped that no one would answer. I always hated it when I worked with with someone who was over zealous and would insist on ringing bells and knocking doors really loudly at 10am on a Saturday morning.
I'd knock lightly and leave, I hated service
