You post about racial stuff like this often. Did you ever wonder why you are so obsessed by it?

I visit people's homes every day as a real estate appraiser and I do this exact thing (without the rain or snow). I get there a bit early so as never to be late and ring the bell at exactly the appointed time. Being late is simply lazy and rude and it shows a lack of respect for the other person, IMO.

You're angry and irrational.

But very amusing.

Ringing a door bell exactly on time is a fine way to establish dominance over the host. Just another example of the "who is in control game" practiced by most control freaks. I usually ignore them because I simply do not let others get control over me for very long.


I usually arrive a few minutes early so I can look around to make certain there is no ambush set up. Just some left over PTSD.

If you’re not 15 minutes prior to the 15 minutes prior, you’re wrong.

That is the price you have to pay for dating Marines.

So when you are expected at someone's home at an agreed upon time, you just stand on the front steps until they happen to open the door so as to not "dominate" them? Ringing a door bell to alert the homes occupant that you have arrived makes someone a "control freak"?


One of the oddest things I've ever read on CD..... and that's saying a lot.

I just revised my post to include the phrase "exactly on time".

Yeah, ringing the doorbell is a micro-aggression.

No wonder Fedex and UPS delivery guy don't bother to ring doorbells anymore.

Can't win can't win.
