Just heard knocking on the door and then the doorbell rung

swingking · 11-05-2009 12:53AM #1

It's just gone 6 mins to 1 in the morning and the doorbell just rung. I don't have a clue who rung it or why. I also heard knocking before hand. I'm not answering it for obvious reasons.

Has this happened anyone ever before?

AlmightyCushion · 11-05-2009 12:55AM

Yes people knock on my door and ring my doorbell on occasion.

SoupyNorman · 11-05-2009 12:56AM

I usually get people knocking on the underside of the toilet seat at this hour....I never answer either.

Sharpshooter · 11-05-2009 12:56AM

They knocked, you didn't answer so they rang the bell.
Yeah it happens a lot.

Toots · 11-05-2009 12:56AM

Maybe your house is on fire and they're trying to warn you!

or maybe it was opportunity, although from what I've heard it doesn't usually ring the bell....

I once got a knock on the door before. That guy never knocked on my door or anyone else's door again that's all I will say.

swingking · 11-05-2009 12:57AM

has this ever happened to anyone at this late hour though?

Either it's the Gardaí with bad news.
The Gardaí asking you to evacuate due to some 'security alert'
A few burly men in balaclava's wanting to slaughter your family and rob you for everything you have.

The important thing is, the 3rd one would've kicked the door in by now and you wouldn'tve had a chance to post before you were dragged into the night.

It's not the postman anyway, it doesn't fit his mo.

I got a knock on the door, more like a thump, and then a door bell ring at about 1.30am one time. Had a peek out my window, the window was window closed obviously, didn't wanna end up like this chap: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/1023/1224625124153.html . Turned out it was the guards. Some person had driven into someone else's house wall and then fecked off again. The guards were just checking if we'd heard or seen anything.

I have recieved a knock on the door at 4 in the morning. I answered it but no one was there. 5 mins later another and no one there again. Then I realised it was me banging on the cooker and sounding like a knock. Yes I was drunk

You showed him how to use a doorbell?

SoupyNorman · 11-05-2009 01:03AM

I never answer my door. Live in a apartment, no peephole. If anyone needs to speak to the occupants of this apartment then they can use the intercom at the front door.[EDIT] The main front door, in the foyer...(before the smart arses like SharpS jump in!!)

TheZohanS · 11-05-2009 01:04AM

Might be a booty call/taxi driver at the wrong house/drunk neighbour/drunk randomer/someone just having a laugh/the cops

It's hard to tell. But if it was any of your friends and family they would probably ring.

Tchaikovsky · 11-05-2009 01:05AM

Hired goons, more than likely
