Impatient visitors
I feel this should have its own thread, rather than go in ‘what annoys you’.
I installed a Ring doorbell a few months ago, but left the redundant one up.
When I have people calling round, specifically the lady who lived here before, and some tradespeople, they press the Ring button. I can hear the chime, and the phone app. So I move from where I am at the current time (usually kitchen or bathroom, at the back of the house). And because I’ve not answered the door within 10 seconds (while I hunt for the door keys), they press the old doorbell. By this time I have an excitable dog to control, and I work out whether to shut her behind the inner door, pick her up, or put on the leash. By this time the visitor has again pressed the Ring button. This prompts me to shout out (none too politely) ‘alright alright alright!’
So now I have to dash to the door before they press one of the bells again, and shout through the door ‘hang on, let me get the keys,’
Even my sister has been known to press twice.
(The electrician did it to me yesterday, and the previous owner did it today, when collecting post.)
