Knocking on Doors
The act of knocking on a door is usually an indication that the person doing the knocking would like to either talk to someone on the other side or would like to pass through the doorway but cannot due to some form of restriction1. The act is usually performed by hitting the knuckles of one hand on the door in question one or more times, causing the door to vibrate. This produces sound waves on the other side of the door,[url=http://monclerdownjacketsoutlet.albirank.net/][b]Cheap Moncler Down Jackets For Men[/b][/url], alerting those on the other side of the door to your presence2. The act has remained popular despite the invention of the doorbell, especially in situations where this wonder of modern technology is not present3.
Reasons to Knock on a DoorApart from the obvious reasons for knocking on a door,[url=http://www.duveticajacketsjp.com/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url], there are several others. An example of this is knocking on the door and then leaving quickly so that there is nobody around when the door is opened. In this case the knocker wishes to talk to the person on the other side of the door, but cares little as to who that person actually is. Well-known practitioners of this form of knocking are door-to-door salesmen, charity workers, Jehovah's Witnesses and Danny Baker (or any of the other men famous for doing the 'Daz Doorstep Challenge' adverts).
Different Ways of Knocking on a DoorIt is easy to vary the volume level of the knock and this is often used to illustrate anger or frustration. It is usual to knock three times then wait before knocking again, although this varies depending on who is doing the knocking and the mood that they are in. Knocks can also be performed to a certain rhythm, sometimes to indicate that a certain person is at the door, and other times just due to the whimsical nature of the person knocking.
Doors can be knocked on using just about any part of the body, but the hand is most commonly used. Having said this,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Giacche Outlet online Italia[/b][/url], it has been known for people to use their elbows, feet and even their head to knock on doors, despite the risk of damaging the head, the door,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Piumini Vendita italy[/b][/url], or even both. This form of door-knocking usually takes place during periods when both hands are otherwise occupied.
Exterior doors may have knockers which may be used to knock on the door. These are usually lumps of metal attached by a hinge to a metal plate,[url=http://parajumpersjakkernorgejacketkodiak.olimx.com/][b]Parajumpers Jakker Norge Jacket Kodiak[/b][/url], and are operated by hitting the former on the latter. Famous door knockers include the sanctuary knocker at Durham Cathedral and the door knocker in Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol', which took on the face of Scrooge's dead business partner. The aforementioned hinged implements also caused much controversy on the children's show Blue Peter when presenter Simon Groom led on from a piece about two antique examples with the phrase 'What a lovely pair of knockers.'
Professional door-knockers may use spoons to knock on doors,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Jacket Herren[/b][/url], as repeated use of the hands to knock on doors can lead to soreness. In the case of a glass door, a coin can be used by placing it between the thumb and the middle finger and putting the tip of the index finger firmly behind it to add force. In some parts of Africa where there are no doors it is common to clap instead of knocking.
Unexpected Dangers of Knocking on DoorsAs with most things,[url=http://duveticasale.albirank.net/][b]http://duveticasale.albirank.net/[/b][/url], there are dangers attached to the act of knocking on doors. The most common include being set upon by large dogs,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Giacche Outlet online Italia Woolrich Piumini Vendita italy[/b][/url], discovering that the door has a large number of splinters, being attacked by an unhappy owner and wet paint. Many other unexpected things may happen, and readers are warned to remain vigilant at all times when attempting to knock on doors. Wearing a good pair of running shoes may also be advisable.
Door-knocking in Popular CultureThere are many instances of door-knocking in books, plays,[url=http://monclerjacketsdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jacken Billig Deutschland[/b][/url], films and music. Most children are familiar with the tale of the Three Little Pigs where the Big Bad Wolf knocks on the door of their house,[url=http://cheapsoccercleats.webmium.com/][b]Cheap Soccer Cleats Buy soccer shoes and soccer cleats at Big Toe Soccer[/b][/url], but is refused entry and is forced to blow each house down9. However,[url=http://woolrichoutlet.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Jacket Deutschland Shop Woolrich Dame Parka Outlet Online[/b][/url], there are privacy devices which can be used to alert people with hearing loss to the fact that someone is knocking on their door.3Or,[url=http://monclerjassengoedkopekoop.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jassen Goedkope Koop[/b][/url], as is most often the case, has merely decided to stop working.4In this case,[url=http://parajumpersjakkernorgejacketkodiak.olimx.com/][b]Parajumpers Jakker Norge Jacket Kodiak Parajumpers Jakker Long Bear Salg[/b][/url], the offenders are usually postal workers.5Or at night if there's a good reason.6eg,[url=http://duveticasale.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica Kappa[/b][/url], a burning building7For some reason this is deemed to be more acceptable.8Very loud9There is, however,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.webmium.com/][b]Roger Vivier Shoes UK[/b][/url], a surprise ending.
