It's always awkward when you ring a doorbell and aren't quite sure if it actually rung or not. You don't want to ring it again because you'll seem rude, but if you didn't ring it, how would they know you're there, amirite?

It's not awkward if you're just standing there by yourself. If they don't come within a minute, then it's probably acceptable to ring it again.

What's funny is that you don't actually care if someone rings twice at your house, but when you're the one ringing, you get really nervous if you have to do it again.

That's true, and I also feel like if it really didn't ring, and they end up opening the door for their own reason, and be like "why are you randomly standing at my door when you didn't even ring the doorbell" and ill be like uhhhhh

To avoid this situation, my sister chooses to ring the doorbell repeatedly, without even hearing out each ring, until someone answers the door.

No one corrected the tense of ring from "rung" to "rang". I cannot tell whether this is a step forward or a step backward...

Duh why would people not agree to this? Yes, it's always awkward. If it wasn't awkward, then you didn't do it.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Because their opinion is different? A large amount of people agreeing doesn't mean it FACT. If you don't understand that, get off amirite? I don't think it's awkward. I just ring again. Why would they care?
