If knocking on doors was made illegal, how would you alert the householder of your presence?

[DefinitelyPsychotic]

Besides using your phone or ringing the doorbell, how would you alert them of your presence? And also, this thread isn't to discuss why knocking was made illegal, so please refrain from doing so.

I would probably scream "hello" at the door until they called the cops. Hell, I do that anyway! Oh wait...

 

[Thedayrecker]

Ring the doorbell

EDIT: Oops didn't read post. But that's still what I'd do

 

[Valagetti]

Throw pebbles at their windows, until I go too far and throw a large rock.

If they don't have a doorbell, probably this:

 

[Sassafrass]

I'd knock on the window.
Or I'd throw stones at the window.
Or I'd whisper creepy things from a bush til they woke up at night.
Or I'd sneak in at night and hide in their closet, sneak out and sniff their hair while they sleep...

...Sorry, got into that too much. Carry on your day.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

I'd loudly shout, "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK" until they opened.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Throw a rock at the windows. Not to break, just to alert.

or I'd just bring a power drill with me and take the door off and walk in.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I'd just text or call them.

Because really, who doesn't have a phone on them these days?

 

[King of the Sandbox]

BLAST Spice Girls from my car stereo. You'd know it was me, cause I'd be the only one.

 

[Saulkar]

When in doubt, use C4. Blow that ***** right off its hinges.

 

[dnnydllr]

I would send them a letter a couple of days in advance, and then show up shortly after their mail arrived. It's the most logical way.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

Kick down the door. What? You didn't say anything about kicking!

 

[Kapol]

I'd burst through the door like Saxon Hale and go about things as if there was nothing wrong with what I'd just done.

 

[DefinitelyPsychotic]

I'd just text or call them.

You obviously didn't read my original post. I said besides using your phone or ringing the doorbell. I'm trying to exclude the other obvious ways that you would alert them.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I would run full-speed into the door, slamming into it with my shoulder. That isn't a knock and it sure as hell alerts the home owners to my presence. If that's too much like knocking though, I would chuck rocks/ pebbles at the windows. If there are neither I'd start looking for small animals and/or children to throw.

 

[Zantos]

As much as I'd like to say something sensible like just phone them, I have been known to yell "Oi! Prick!" at open windows until they let me in.

Oh hello person who does exactly the same thing I do. How's your ninja meter doing? You ninja'd me XD

OP:

Either what the above said, or i'd stand outside the door, arms at my sides, back straight and yelling "KNOCK *waits a second* KNOCK *waits a second* KNOCK" until they answered.

 

[Siberian Relic]

If we're going to define the act of knocking on one's door as being performed with a clenched fist, then I'll kick the door.

 

[tombman888]

Just constantly yell "HELLO ARE YOU HOME!?" for about 2 minutes before i leave.
