Our neighbours across the road have on occasion inadvertently left their garage door wide open all night. Being the goodly neighbour I am, I usually go over and knock on their door and let them know. It has happened with the previous occupiers of the house going back 20 years now....must be a peculiarity with the door press button.
Anyway....one afternoon, my wife & I went out for a drive, and came back at dark o'clock. I pointed out to my wife that the door across the road was still open...as it had been when we left. The house is multi-level, and the garage door is effectively remote from the living areas by a small staircase with internal doors top & bottom.
So I said to my wife, I'll just pop over and let them know .....didn't have their phone number at that time. So I knock on the door.....again, and again, and again. Managed to get the attention of several other neighbour dogs while knocking, but not the occupants attention in the slightest..
So I thought....I'll bang on the window next to the front door...as I was under the impression it was their bedroom window. Well, nek minute, J**** is peering at me through the front door glass side window in his boxers.....opens the door seemingly dazed, and asks "what's up?"
When I told him, he rushed off downstairs to hit the garage door button. Problem solved.
Not quite....then his wife comes to the front door wearing not much more.....and starts chatting to me, with this 'guilty' look on her face. It was quite weird, and yet somehow pleasant.
Me suspects that I interrupted something there......
Anyhoo...they both thanked me, and quietly shut the door....and off I went home.
Wifey asked what happened. To which I replied....not much
Sorry KD....that doesn't answer your question, but somehow seemed relevant.
Most people coming to my place wait outside to be invited in. Mainly because I am standing at the door on a higher level, and looking menacingly at them. JW's get the full wrath of my presence....even the old ladies that try and weedle their way in.
PS....I have the neighbour's cell phone number now.
