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

[OctoH]

Flareguns. Those things are fun.

 

[Dominic Burchnall]

Use portable iPod speakers and play "Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden outside the door until someone answered, which could be awkard if I needed to get into a church in Alabama....

 

[sergnb]

... why? I don't get it, what's to discuss here? ways of alerting other people? huh?

I guess I would throw rocks to the window a la 80's romance movie style...

 

[WanderingFool]

Kick open the door, and yell, "HONEY, IM HOME!"

 

[ultimateownage]

I would bang on their door.

 

[putowtin]

fart in their general direction!

or sing, they'd quickly open the door!

Portable Air Raid Siren.

A solution to many of life's problems, bar deafness, which it causes rather well.

 

[Woodsey]

Piss through the letterbox.

 

[ExplosiveTiger]

"HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN! HEY! LISTEN!"

 

[Ushiromiya Battler]

I'd knock on the wall beside the door...

 

[Spaghetti]

I'd use a vuvuzela. Someone's door would certianly open when they came to smash my head in...

 

[Micalas]

If there were no cops around I'd knock on the door anyway. It's a moronic law punishing a victimless crime.

 

[Atheist.]

I'd be the happiest ************ alive because everyone I know just randomly decides to come over to my place already. On another note, who cares if it's illegal? It's not like you're going to call the cops on your friends for knocking on your door.

 

[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...

"Hello." How boring. You gotta get creative, man!

"I say! Ho, there! Is the man/lady of the house available? Or perhaps the man-lady?"

Actually, now that I think about it, if they were in a two-story house or higher, using Batman's grapnel gun wouldn't be a bad idea! I bet the police would be laughing their asses off when they filled out the breaking-and-entering report back at the station.

 

[DracoSuave]

I'd knock on their door on principle that stupid laws deserve to be broken

 

[Arafiro]

Well, I think this picture mostly covers it:

Seems like it would work.

 

[Eggsnham]

Fuck it.

I'd still knock on the door.

 

[Ickorus]

Like this:


Skip to 0:35 if you want to get right to it.

 

[axeman157]

Charged through their door dressed like a zombie.(I would probably get killed)

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Catapult a dead sheep through the front window.

Or maybe just ring the person I'm visiting up on the phone to come and answer the door. I can't be bother dragging the catapult round with me.
