People that don't have Ring Doorbells.

Why would other people not having one be an irritation? Genuinely asking as someone who doesn't have one and who doesn't need one.

Every Christmas Sandwich/Wrap having  Cranberry Sauce on it. You can keep your sweet jam. Just give me the Turkey, Stuffing, Bacon. A bit of mayo if necessary but please no more Cranberry.

It was largely in reply to the post above mine, with Bacon complaining about getting dragged out of the shower. I have a regular doorbell I usually leave turned off to save electricity, since anyone visiting me knows it's usually by appointment only.

Even having a Ring doorbell wouldn't change this situation though. I ain't got my phone in the shower with me

I take my phone in the shower. I use it to listen to music, I know if I'm in there more than 3 songs, I've taken too long.

Right, but it's not with you in the actual shower is it?

Or is it? 

[deathrey]

It's on the sink side next to the shower. If someone was at the door bell, I could grab it pretty fast.

I refuse to have the door bell app on my phone so I'm quite comfortable with just missing the door to be honest.

Normally wouldn't care, but sods law this was a present I had to sign for.

Unrelated, but this has shown me I need an extractor fan in our Bathroom. If I dare to leave my phone in there while I shower, I get the 'water detected' message for hours and usually need to rely on a bag of rice for the save. 

Also, fuck a Ring doorbell.

Sounds like to me that you don’t need a doorbell mate.

The appointment only bit does make you sound a bit like a brass

My one chance of a lay in this week, but a morning trip to the throne has me completely awake.  I suppose the throne visit was preferable to waking up in a shat bed.

Beyond grey whiskers when I started growing and keeping a beard for the first time in my life, I realised I'd entered a certain stage where whenever I wake up it's time to go immediately.

Well I do work nights and weekends, so maybe you have a point...
