"Knock the door before you open it. This is manners."Since young, I was taught about this. I have been practicising what I was told.
This morning, while I was in the bathroom. Someone opened my door. Although the man asked, "Is there someone inside?" It still did not count since he asked while he was opening the door. I had to run and stop him from opening the bathroom door and closed it quick enough before it was totally opened.
I was told when I complaint about the lack of locs in this house when I moved in a week ago that, "It is ok. Everyone knows the rule. If the door is close, then we know someone is inside and will not open the door." The landlord even commented that I made a big fuss out of this. Now I am all confused. Does that mean the rule no longer applies? Or not everyone obeys the "rule" anymore?
I was so glad that this did not happen when I was in a shower. I would not be able to jump out of the bath tub and ran to the door soon enough before that man opened my door. It gave me a bit of a cold sweat!
Why can't everyone in this house just practice the little manner we all were taught when we were a kid? Knock before you open the door. It is so simple and could save their trouble of being sued for harrassment or invading others' privacy.
