More a rational hatred ...
possibly even a rational Fear.

I have recently enjoyed the householder horror of everything breaking at once. All the warranties have conspired with some unknown celestial alignment to make sure that this week, I require three different tradesmen to gain access to my house to do their shit and charge us money, hopefully, never to be seen agaibn.

Each and every one of these tradedmen have announccd their, somewhat, unwelcome prescence by;

1; Issuing a short and loud 'rat-at-tat-tat' on tbe door. And THEN;
2: Turning the handle.

This is the Height of Rudeness.

Seeking access to one's home, when called upon to do so is only good and proper.

Upon recieving said summons ... testing the door for ungranted access is exceptionally rude and Taking Liberties.

How Dare, any unknown knave and Jack of All Trades attempt entry to my Home, without properly ascentaining my presence and permission.

This, my fellow b3tans, is an infringement upon the most basic cornerstone of Civilisation. Seeking access to one's abode requires complex layers of formalities, not merely knocking and then testing the handle. There are introductions required dammit.

Anyways. Knocking and then immediately testing the doorknob is not only Rude, it is inviting trouble.

Which leads me to my next outraged rant;

Should my front door be unlocked and your loathsome ill bred insistence prove the fact ... would you enter?

this can be easily solved
By hiring only tradesmen that are also vampires which means that they CAN'T get in without being invited.

Ah, but,
if you invite them in once, they may enter and leave as many times as they wish.

I've never known a tradesman to try the door handle, even my builder/electrician, who's my nephew
but he's also a b3tan so he knows all about manners.

Do you want your gear fixed or what?

Yeh', I fucking get that every single time, they seem to think because the landlord said it's OK, the tenant doesn't count.
