Romanians are fucking retarded.
We begin with a direct quote straight from life :
-
Mark Hunt Hi!
Hampton Wick Romanians are so fucking retarded. So my doorbell rings.
Mark Hunt Whoa?
Hampton Wick As it happens I am right there by the door, and the key is in the door. So I button my top, open the door and look toward the gate. NOBODY THERE. Because they left, because TO THE STUPID IDIOTS waiting 5 seconds after you ring a doorbell is excessive. It's a fucking house, I don't live in a breadbox. What if I were somewhere ? I have a mass and therefore inertia. You need to wait at least five minutes. Count to 500 ffs.
Mark Hunt Oh srsly, that shit drives me crazy when ppl already in the building knock. If I take more than like 15 seconds yeah, they leave. They must all sit by the door all day hoping someone comes to visit or smthg.
Hampton Wick They must all be fucktards. Or maybe they exclusively visit with squirrels.
Mark Hunt Lol. Otherwise it makes no sense, I know exactly what you're talking about. Anyway, this didn't also wake you up did it? If you were already at the door?
Hampton Wick Did not, no.
Mark Hunt Well glory be ;)
This is not a joke, this is sad, sad yet very factual everyday reality in Fucktardlandia.
So dudes : read this article to your friends. After you've rung a doorbell you count to FIVE HUNDRED. SLOWLY. And if you can't mentally commit to such imposition, for whatever reason, soit that you don't know all the numbers all the way up to 500 and normally leave just as soon as you reach an unknown, which usually happens around SEVEN, soit because you think some random shitfaced thirldworlder (ie, you) making as average income about a third of the unemployment benefits normal people get shouldn't have to wait for anything, if you can't commit I say leave the fuck BEFORE you ring. Stop getting yourselves in people's way, you're about to become famous for that.
You hear me ? That's right, not famous for "great education", not famous for "beautiful country". Not famous for anything. Anything at all. About to become famous for being fucking retarded with ringing the doorbells.

My apartment number is apparently the favourite for everyone to dial on the intercom. No matter what for - mail, advertising*, pranks**, drunk calling by neighbors etc. Need someone to open the door? Dial Alex.
Often times I just operate on a whitelist basis: I turn off the intercom sound and you call me before you arrive. If I'm not expecting you, I have no business talking to you. Sucks for the postman, but then again, there's dozens of others numbers to dial.
* we do have a box in front of the building, where advertising could be dumped; alas, the delivery ppl can't rest at night if they don't stuff each individual mailbox
** living nearby a high school. yay teenagers.

Apparently I'm on to something here huh.
@Alex Good point actually, cellphones render doorbells useless. More so than landlines, even, which are still useful. Who'd have thunk it, 20 years ago, that the cellphone is the doorbell killer, not the landline killer ?
The advertising thing is quite different : teenagers that don't want to turn tricks but need money are hired to distribute the leaflets, they work on geographic areas, company sends someone to check. If they see the leaflets in the box the kid is fired / fined / w.e. Just goes to show that marketing is satanic.
@Chett A capacitor hooked in might be a great idea. If you ring, it charges. If you ring for long enough, it charges enough to jolt you.
