These days with cell phones, it’s a little unsettling to get someone ringing your door bell. Are door bells still useful? People are supposed to call and announce themselves first.
Pressing a button on a door frame takes a second. Calling on the cell phone when you arrive at someone’s house: get electronic leash out, find contact or dial number, call or write text…[/quote]
People should call **before** dropping by to make sure that they aren’t interrupting people’s activities.
Personally, I dislike it when people “drop by” unexpectedly. It’s rude and shows a disregard for other people’s privacy and personal time/space. If we aren’t expecting someone, we don’t even answer the door.
Lots of burglaries and home invasion robberies happen under the guise of “innocent” door-to-door solicitation. IMO, it should be illegal.
