"Please ring the bell" - how is this a rude notice?

[MrseChill]

I don't see this as being rude at all, especially with your hearing problem. Personally, I see this as your family & friends being rude. How is this commanding when you've stated "please"?

Neither do I, your home, your rules.

I don't think it is rude at all! Nothing wrong with your notice.

It's not rude. People should ring the doorbell if there is one anyway - it's a protocol thing. If there's a doorbell, I don't understand why people would knock.

I can't find anything wrong with your request.


If it resolves the issue (i.e. Hearing a caller) then it would be perfectly OK by me.
