Answer 1

yes all the time, but the one I find most frustrating is when you get in the bath for a long soak to relax and the door goes.
I don't bother anymore because several times I have got out of bath just to find it was just a noisy free newspaper delivery person, who couldn't put it through the letterbox without knocking several times and the paper lying in the hall Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
