Pounding on the Door

Around 7:15am there was pounding on the door so loud and emphatic I RAN to the door. What was it? One of those individual Amazon delivery people. My dog went nuts. I had visions of a bloody neighbor needing immediate help. But hey, at least it didn’t linger by my front door; although I do get an email notification when something has been delivered. How did you start off your day?

That's weird. They just leave stuff on the porch here. Maybe because of package theft though they do that in your area.

I get knocking, and plenty of Amazon delivery people in the trucks do knock, but I’ve never heard this pounding. It made me wonder if the poor person was having a bad morning. I can understand that.

Our delivery people often do not knock at all, they do text you as they pull up and you just retrieve your package after they leave. I hope that the rest of your day wasn't as alarming as it began.

That is insane, I had a quiet start of the day, we got up at 5:30 and later went to the store to buy ice creams, tomatoes and mozzarella for our lunch.

The past days had been a blur. My head hurts yesterday because of the lack of sleep

I started off my day drinking water and that is how every day starts now. If my package needs somebody to sign for it, than somebody knocks on my door or if its really large. Theft is a problem in my area and a big package is easy to see.

I never get an Amazon package that early in the day.

Still that was strange but at least it was nothing major. With my anxiety that would have totally wrecked my day.

I hope there was a doggie treat in the delivery.

It was something to review, but unfortunately not a doggie treat. Fortunately, I had a squeezable treat for her, and that made up for her aggravation.

They never knock here...and that's awfully early for a delivery. I was up all night as usual.

I hope you can get that door camera installed very soon. We live in a strange world...the cameras really do help with a bit of peace of mind. My daughter sent me a Mother's Day gift from Amazon. The camera went off at 4:30AM the Saturday before, and it was on the porch, I got the picture on my phone...not an Amazon truck but a personal vehicle. That's just too early. So was yours, how ridiculous.

@ambiePam Well the sun came through my window Wednesday morning … oh dear, that sounds like the start of some country song.

I'm glad you got your package delivered even though the knocking (or pounding) was excessive. I probably would have expected something disastrous going on outside with all that pounding.

Loud knocking would have me running to the door too.
