While the scenario the OP posted could have been the the stranger in the street looking for someone
Yeah, and he's so "stranger" that he bashes 3 times on my bedroom window, rather than knocking on the door first.
it could have been a kid throwing a ball
A ball so amazing it bounces 3 times off the same window before bouncing away.
a bird drilling the siding looking for bugs
It wasn't drilling the siding, it was banging on the window. And no, it wasn't a bird. The surroundings of my home prevent that.
But hey, I'll just keep saying it wasn't a bird, over and over and over again when people say "bird" over and over and over again. Never mind the "tactics or training" part of the discussion....
and it could have been someone knocking on the door asking you to vote to save the Manatees.
Yeah, and they were knocking so loud on my front door, all the way across the other side of the house, that it sounded like they were bashing on my bedroom window. Must've been an echo.
The sierra club only came to my house once, that was sure to be the last time. Trust me on that one.
I would hate to see your picture on the evening news for splattering the grey matter of the two girl scouts down the street who were selling cookies and you mistook the door bell for an entry alarm.
I wish one of the mods would just close this thread.
It's supposed to be "tactics and training" and all 80% of you could come up with was "bird" when I thoroughly described the surroundings and sequence of events that say "human being" rather than "bird".
NO it wasn't a knock on the front door. Read the thread title. If it said "unexpected hard rap on door" then I might understand what led you to believe that, but the title of the thread is "Unexpected Hard Rap On My Bedroom Window".
NO it wasn't a bird.
Seeing as how I took the effort to make a thread that I thought would have some real bearing on "tactics and training" rather than another "double tap, triple tap, backflip, carthwheel, double tap, mozambique, zimbabwe, triple tap, anyone train like this?" thread, I figured it might be worthwhile, but now I realize that I wasted my time with most of you jokers.
Live and learn.
