Someone shouting out "I'll get it" at home is something most younger people don't know about. amirite?

I understand what you're referencing... but last I checked people still shared homes with doors that also needed answering.

And ovens, microwaves and other appliances that might beep when they need tending to

Nope. Young people don't answer doors. What kind of monster knocks or rings without texting first?

I mean, someone still needs to get the door, regardless of how you're notified.

They can get the door themselves

But.. do they?

With ring cameras. Legitimately, how often are you letting people you don't know through your front door these days? Amazon doesn't even knock anymore, so other than police, who else are you answering the door for?

Nope, this leaves out a bigger use case (doorbell) than it addresses (phone).

I heard phone much much much more often than a doorbell as a kid. Mum had guests much?

Kids coming over to play, door-to-door salesmen and neighbours bringing in food, that's what I remember more.

I'm of the "kids ringing the doorbell and asking if their friend can come out to play" generation. That's a bygone era in most places. Gen Z and later would never ring a neighbor's doorbell. They'd text that they were outside.

We were in the country, so the phone went off WAY more than the door.

Do people in a family never pick up each other's mobiles phones if a call is coming?

by Anonymous 19 hours ago

Who the hell doesn't have their cell on silent, or at least vibrate. And no, don't touch my phone unless I've told you a call is coming to pick up.

by Kleinrodger 19 hours ago

...nope, almost never. The only exceptions would be if they have asked me to, or if it's a mutual family member - like if my mum/sibling called my husbands phone and he was not in the room I'd answer it, and he'd probably answer my phone if it was my mum, but usually we'd just take it to each other and if it rings out before we get there, they will just call the number back.

I think the bigger one is, "It's on!" Having no ability to pause cable shows one of us kids was always the designated announcer of when the commercials were over.

Define younger. Cause if you mean 10 and under you, migjt have a point, but even 14 year olds have had this experience. I'm 24, would consider myself "younger people," and certainly lived this.
