People knocking on the door

[this_evening_so_soon]

How strange/socially unacceptable would it be to leave a note near my door saying "Knock Gently"? Maintenance in my apartment complex hammers on the front door, as have a few others, and every time it terrifies me. A note seems like an easy fix, but I can't tell if it's bad for some reason. I already taped over the doorbell for the same reason, but that just looks like it doesn't work.

i don't see anything wrong with such a note.  lots of people put notes stating that there are day sleepers, shhhh, stuff like that.  who knows why 'gently' is important?  maybe someone is sick, a baby is sleeping - it could be any number of things.  i'd say go ahead.  hope it helps.

Seems like a good idea to me.
