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

[Whispering Cynic]

"BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!". That oughta get their attention. Incoherent, rage-filled scream works fine as well, in my experience.

 

[nklshaz]

I'd piss in the mail slot.

 

[Odysseous2]

I'd start mowing their lawn.

It's loud and awfully suspicious, but wouldn't cause any real damage like *some* insensitive arsonists on this thread.

 

[Signa]

Simple. I'd just knock. There aren't going to be any cops around while I'm knocking on my friend's door, and they sure as hell aren't going to call them on me.

I'm sure the point of this thread is looking for a creative answer though. Maybe I'd play an annoying song on my car stereo like Chacarone or Yakety Sax

 

[PinkiePyro]

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

I was gonna say that!

so I guess I would have a trained monkey I would send though a hole or vent to unlock the door for me

 

[Ham_authority95]

Text them, if I feel boring.

If I feel exciting, I'll serenade them outside of the window until they question their sexuality.

 

[giggetygooo]

poo on the doorstep?

 

[Salad Is Murder]

I would build an identical house right next to theirs.

There I would wait...in the dark...patiently, knowing that one day they'd come home drunk or too tired to notice and they'd walk into my venus fly house. Then they would be mine...

And I'd be all like, here is the crescent wrench that my husband borrowed and then lost and I was forced to go down to Sears and get a replacement and no one knows how to convert metric to imperial anymore and why do you even have a metric wrench you drive a Ford!

 

[IceStar100]

I find explovise always work

 

[TheLoneBeet]

I'd just go ahead and open the door, then shout "Hello!" once I'm inside.

OR

Open the door THEN SLAM IT SHUT!!! mwahahaha so annoying.

 

[Asuka Soryu]

I don't need to knock for people to be alerted og my prescence. (gently caresses gernade)

 

[PleasantAsAHeadcrab]

I'd sit on their front step and play Chacarron or Mambo Italiano on my tuba.

...Actually if I go calling on my friend tomorrow, I might do just that.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Knock on the wall not 1 foot away from where I would have knocked on the door.
If that is not allowed, I will play trombone until they know I'm there.

 

[Kais86]

Use my cell phone like I do every time I go to one of my friend's house.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Throw bricks at the house.

 

[Sarah Frazier]

If it was during the day? I'd send an IM/email/call on the phone to tell them when I plan on stopping by. That way they can hang around outside, leave the door open, or watch through the window for when I get there.

If it's night time... It'd have to be an emergency to try to wake someone up to be let in.

 

[alandavidson]

My god, this is brilliant! However, I would go straight for the cow.

 

[Korolev]

I would stand at the door and shout in a droning voice "YOU HAVE A VISITOR. YOU HAVE A VISITOR. YOU HAVE A VISITOR, until they came to the door.
