Knock Knock

I've long theorized that the wrists of most average adults don't work, or just don't work well. This is evident in the lack of people who can properly use their turn signals, flush toilets, and the like.

My theory also seems to be proven with people who can't knock on doors. You probably have to live in an apartment complex to see this on a regular basis. It might be the wrist problem, it might be simple laziness, or it could be a combination of the two.

The situation goes like this: someone comes to a dwelling to pick another someone up. The person doing the driving has three choices.

Choice #1: call the person in the dwelling on their cell phone. You'd think this would be the most popular choice, what with how much people love talking on their cell phones. But you don't see it all that much.
Choice #2: Park the car, get out, and go knock on the door or ring the doorbell. Civilized people prefer this method. Should the person in the dwelling be running late, or still have some things to do to get ready, then often the driver will be invited inside to wait.
And then there's choice #3, the course of action that seems to be the most popular in this day and age. And that's for the driver to sit in their car and blast their car horn until the person in the dwelling comes out and gets in the car. It, of course, is the choice I find most irritating.

All this does is tell me that the driver has no regards to anything and anyone. Car horns are typically very loud in a residential area - ESPECIALLY when its 11:00pm and people are trying to sleep. But hey, what does the driver care, they have to be somewhere sometime soon, and oh, their wrist doesn't work. They can't knock on a door. A doorbell would be just as easy to work as a car horn, but why take that chance?

Maybe I should start investing in wrist rests and wrist therapy products.
