Did something fall on the floor? Maybe a bird flew into the window? Am I hearing things?
It’s not considered weird. It’s confusing. >

To add to this, I have a 1-syllable name. When I put my name in on the waiting list of a restaurant I provide a 2- or 3-syllable name. When the name is called in a noisy environment it’s easier to discern than the short staccato of my name. >

This is huge. >

Perhaps, but “gigantic” works better in a noisy room. >

enormous >

Gargantuan >

Humongous hungolomghononoloughongous >

LMAO. People giving a lot of terms, in what the OP has been used. Nonetheless, still funny though. >

I knock 0 times and stand at the door. People think it's weird too. >

Knocks 0 times, rings doorbell instead >

10 times >

Honestly, count out 10 knocks in your head. It doesn't seem that weird. >

If someone knocked at my door 10 times I wouldn't let them in. That's HELLA weird >

3  knocks are the correct minimum number, enough to establish a pattern, and direction, and get attention. >

I consider 1 knock to be an accident, 2 knocks to be a courtesy for a door you're going to go through anyway but want to alert the occupants first, and 3 knocks to be an actual "request" for entry. >

The two knocks is like what you get at the doc office when they come in. >

or when you have a package delivery just notifying you it's there but you don't have to come to the door >

I'm just gonna stand there and keep knocking. Not one time. Not two. Just gonna keep going. Not gonna stop till that door is open >

Why stop when the doors open? Just keep it going even after it's been opened. >

Just start punching the guest lightly as they open the door >

You're knocking on your own door? >

Yeah, wtf? u/Random_Loaf , could you provide context to why you would be knocking on your own door? >

You don't? >

I do not. Also, if your guest is just gonna open the door, why knock at all?
