But wouldn’t calling before knocking just disrespect the phone?
Should I send a telegram to let you know that I will be calling, and then call to let you know I will be knocking? Would sending you secret messages in alphabet soup work better instead?

Looks like she couldn’t decide whether to follow American or British usage to close her quotations, so she created her own Boss Lady Style by putting the closing mark above her ass.

Maybe she leaves her phone on silent since she does like her peace & quiet.

Dear Boss Lady:
We found what appears to be your daughter in a mangled heap next to a wrecked car. She’s currently at the hospital in a coma. We didn’t have your number, and didn’t want to disrespect you by knocking to let you know.

She should just be honest. “Don’t knock on my door without warning because I’m basically always naked.”

Wait, if her phone rings, won’t that also disturb her peace and quiet?

It probably does not apply here, but when somebody who has my number “just stops by” and wakes a napping child, beheading is the only appropriate punishment for them.

I’m tempted to knock on her door, just to see how she will disrespect my ass.
She’ll probably say that it’s fat and stinky. Because that’s true.

How can I call when you didn’t post your number?

I guess this is one way to prevent people who don’t know you (church peddlers, Girl Scouts, etc) from bothering you.

Gone are the days when you did just call on someone, it was called visiting back then. You know, sometimes when you wanted something to do, you’d go visit a friend, in person? Yeah, I know, so old fashioned.

Perhaps a candygram to #75 will set the wheels in motion for a positive meet-and-greet at her door (or perhaps not).

I was going to “cawn” before knocking, but I’m not a woman, so they told me to go away. I would also chll you, but I don’t know what the hell that means.
And what is a “beforg”? And “ong”? Is that some sort of kung-fu?
Thank yoll for your answers. And, please, boss lady, visit the library and take advantage of the computers and printers they have. Your handwriting is terrible.

Neighbor: “Wow…75′s car is getting towed! I don’t have her number so I guess she can figure it out herself…”

Has anyone yet suggested that she may be a drug dealer in league with the people at 413 E H St? You need to call her before you stop by, because there’s not enough time to hide the stash when you just knock.

I live in a neighborhood so I get a lot of uninvited visitors. The other day someone knocked on my door, then rang the doorbell and then, when I didn’t answer because I didn’t recognize them, beat on my door with a metal bottle. So while the note is a little whackadoodle I get it, my door was disrespected as well, I SO get it.

Maybe she just hates the pop-in.
