Oh look at Mr show-off here with his friends
- XD

I always use the little door knocker thingy

shit when i had friends they didnt knock they just came right in.
back in the before time. the long long ago
- Some friends would stay for days. Friends would just roll up at a time we agreed, too. If they didn't show, we wouldn't know why unless we called their house.
  The time without cell phones on our person was magical. For kids especially.
  
  I had a best friend that used to sleep over all the time and if he couldn't I slept over at his house. We went to the same school but lived two hours apart. Everyone thought we were a gay couple. Good times.
- You can still experience this. I've had this just in the past few weeks in a major city. Trust people again.
- I've heard this about some countries/areas. I know this was common in parts of canada f.ex.

Texts/calls don’t set the dogs off, which is why I don’t ring the doorbell/knock
- The dogs are the doorbell!
  
  I used to sneak up to one friends house and quietly scratch the door. Their dogs at the time used to love it. If I tried now the new dogs would eat me, door & all.
- coming in will still set the dogs off so what's the difference
- Nice to warn the dogs you're about to waltz in though
  
  as if pets won't know you're on your way when you're 5 blocks away
  
  Hey man, Dogs can get arrival notifications when they start pitching in for rent
- But if no-one knocks or ring the bell then the dogs won't be conditioned to start barking.
  
  What kind of conditioning do dogs get to perceive the doorbell as a threat anyway?
  
  Bingo!

I feel like I slept through the point where everyone decided to stop answering calls, answering doors and generally chose to turn to a life of hermitage. It would have been nice to get an email or something so I at least would have known.

A horror story in 3 words: My phone rang
- funny Linux joke in just 4 characters:
  cd .
- Please, I'm just about to go to bed :(
