I found that in recent antisocial times, more and more people elect to ignore doorbells and not even check the door unless they specifically know someone they expected is there. They just act like nobody is home
To be fair, the vast majority of the time someone is at my door that I’m not expecting, they’re trying to sell me shit I don’t care about. I do not answer my door.
I live online, no one I know lives anywhere close enough to casually visit me, let alone just pop over unannounced. If someone rings my doorbell they either want to sell me something or are dropping a package off. Either way, why go to the door?
Your neighbor telling you that you left your car’s window open. Or you have a leakage/broken pipe/your roof is on fire/something is wrong that is advised to be taken care sooner rather than later. There can be legit reasons why people are trying to warn you in your home who don’t know your online handles.
My door is just really far from my bed, and opening it to then see someone I don’t want to see is just too much effort. And everybody I want to see knows to text ahead.
one of the perks of living in an apartment, the outer door is locked so if someone’s knocking on my door it all but has to be the neighbours and they’re not gonna bother me for no reason.
Maybe some people have this weird technology where they put things in or over their ears to hear only what’s in the device they’re texting through and can’t hear any outside noises.
That’s the system I had in the previous two buildings I lived in instead of those wall panels you are in many places, much less trouble for the manager since it doesn’t require more wires running all over the building.
It made sense when everyone had landlines. Buzzer in a multi-unit building rings the phone in reach unit. Door intercom used to talk to the occupant, and usually they could control door access by hitting ‘9’ or whatever to unlock the door and admit whoever was there.
Saved the building from needing to have a separate intercom system wired to every unit, just use the phone lines that are already going to be there.
Fast forward a few decades, land lines are gone, everyone has a cell, and if more than one person lives in a unit the person with the one the door rings might be out and the person at home has no way to admit people, while the person elsewhere still has to answer door calls.
On the upside(?), it allowed us to be extremely sure that UPS was lying to us when they told us they tried to deliver and no one answered the door. Had them tell us that several times with no missed calls on the phone. :P
Why did they not just put a dedicated door answering phone disguised as a doorbel in the apartments? Why am I even asking probably because it would cost money.
I’m not sure what you mean by “disguised as a doorbell”. It’s for controlled access buildings where you need to be able to talk to the person at the door and selectively admit them.
The “here” part of the question changes the entire meaning of the question, rendering the stated answer completely off topic (cause, you know, “here” is not the only place you can earn money for food).
In this hypothetical situation, it is where we are requesting an adequate sum of the monies to pay for the required sustenance. Any place may do, but this is the place the responded for an interview. And if my experience is anything to go by, then this is the only place to respond out of hundreds of applications.
Since you don’t know what it’s like to work there, it’s a dumb question. The only thing you can really comment on is the business side of things. They either do cool stuff or they don’t. If they don’t you have to lie and say how stoked you are to make their boring products.
Companies compete with one another, and that means the conditions of employment tend to be comparable from one employer to another. What the employees get is largely superficial choice, similar to how you get 50 brands of chips that are all basically the same. That’s capitalist relations in a nutshell.
Yes. You would have to hedge your bets and believe in every possible god. I wonder however if you could apply customer service techniques to it. The god that complains the most gets the most belief
You’re not wrong lol, the logical extreme of Pascal’s wager leads you to worship the god who has the worst punishment for non-believers, so that you only end up with the second-worst punishment from some other god.
I don’t particrlarly care for spaghetti, so I’m in the Church of Bacon. The CoB not only recognizes FSM, but also his recognizes and respects his existence and his followers.
Actually me. I do this all the time and it drives my friends, family, and girlfriend nuts.
I think my brain processes what is said after it is finished processing what I am currently thinking about and what I am really doing is multitasking in thoughts before rounding my way to the next one.
This is why I always end up re-reading work emails over and over again before sending, and also use the outlook delay-sending to allow for “unsending” lol
lemm.ee
