When did people forget how to knock?

Is it just me, or have people completely forgotten how to knock on a bathroom door?

OK, I can understand is a club or open kitchen place where the ambient noise is 73 decibels there's no point. But at fine French restaurant where there's not even any music? You couldn't knock before barging into to the men's room? Or answer when I knock?

I'd say the problem is "young people" but the last non-knocker was at least 65.

What's up with that?

Search me. My in-laws always lock the bathroom door. When I told my husband that we weren't allowed to do that as kids, he was surprised. "How did you not walk in on each other?" Ummmm we knocked. In fact, we were trained to knock on any closed door, lest we walk in on scarier things than a peeing parent.

The last thing I need is penmanship lessons when I'm signing my name in the snow!

Considering that this initially was an etiquette based discussion...I'm bettin that Fuzzy is reviewing our membership and access status at the moment. :shock:

If I am unable to log on in the future...It was a fun ride

OF COURSE, HIS GREATEST STRENGTH IS HIS SENSE OF HUMOR!

Besides, look at the stats for this thread, we have 50 views on only 6 posts and you & I are half of the posts. They love us out there!!!

But seriously folks, please knock when Fuzzy's in the loo. This will be our slogan for the SF meet up & eat up - whenever it happens. I can see it now, a line of Porta-potties with
-----ers! :lol:

Wino,

You'd better knock. Or ... hmmm. This is a family board, consider the threat implied. :twisted:

Anyway, I wasn't planning on an SF meeting; only 5 people expressed an interest.

Okay, Frank, this means we gotta hold back on all those 'knock, knock' jokes. He's lettin' me off easy - this time! I took the bullet for ya, so cover my back.

P.S. By the way, it's so darn nice here (light breezes, low 80s) that my wife and I are heading to Houston on Aug. 19 -23 to kick it up a notch. Gotta do some serious 'cue hunting between H and San Antoin'!

You know I am weak... why do you taunt me so...

Why pray tell would anyone visit Texas in Mid August...Texans go to Colorado or Canada to fish that time of year...I hope what you are hunting does not survive on plant matter...that area of Texas has seen less than 3" of rain in the past YEAR!!!

Pretty much everthing is dead down there.

If this is a paid hunting experience...you now know why it was on sale :lol:

Don't worry about knocking on your selected cactus...you will be alone :shock:
