1. Most people have regular doorbells.

2. A lot of people, with kids or without, wake up at all hours. You should know by now that not everyone has the same work schedule.

You would ring someone's doorbell at 8am?

I’ve ring doorbells at 2am when my car broke down driving between home and college.

But you wouldn’t do this in the age of smartphones.

Because smartphones never run out of battery 🪫 life?

Only if youre an idiot

8am is a perfectly fine time to ring the doorbell. 9pm is another issue!!!

You can't imagine why someone would be asleep at 8am on a Monday? Wow.

Someone could be asleep at *any* hour of the day. By that logic, no one should ever ring a doorbell.

The point is not that some people might be asleep at 8am on a Monday. The point is that the OP made it seem like it was unreasonable to ring the bell at that time. Which is a little absurd. It's entirely reasonable to believe that people aren't still in bed at 8:00 on a weekday.

One was dressed like he was going to an office and the other one was dressed casual. The two people were standing near a truck opposite our house 10 minutes later when I peeked again to see if they were gone. 20 minutes later truck was gone.

Sounds like they did you a favor - you should open the door and thank them.

Not op, but it’s noon California time and I’m still in bed. I’m a nanny and start work at 3pm. I’m on call and the kids went to school, so I’m home being paid to be in bed until noon.

+1. Do you not have kids?

Do you really think there is only one way to do life and it's your way and no other way? I have been asleep many mornings at 8am and yes I have kids.

Newsflash, Einstein: not everyone has kids.

Get a ring so you can talk to them from the comfort of your beds. This morning I didn’t get out of bed until noon!

Yes I would open the door. I would hope that if I had some reason to ring a strangers doorbell they would open the door for me.
