Ok, lets say you want to see your boss at work or teacher at school and his/her door is open and there is no one else in the room and they are staring at their computers..
Do you have to wait infront of the door, so they look at you and say "come in" or can you just knock the door saying something like "Good Morning"..
I need the American Etiquette..
Thanks.

In that case, I always knock on the door to announce my presence. Then I wait for an invitation to begin speaking or to enter the office.

I would knock on the door and say " Good Morning, I hope that I'm not disturbing you, but may I have a few minutes to talk with you?"

I'd knock on the door, wait for acknowledgement, and then walk in & greet them. Usually, most people will tell you/gesture you to enter. If not then, that's poor etiquette on their side because if they didn't want to be disturbed, they should have closed the door. At least, that's my opinion on it.

knock on the door and ask if you may come in before entering.

I normally knock and announce my presence..I think that is good etiquette.

Knock. When you are acknowledged, ask if she / he has time to speak with you. Enter when invited.
