"Knock Knock!"

Am I the only one who finds this annoying? Sorry, if you yourself do this, but I think people should actually knock and not yell it. How hard is it to simply knock the way we're supposed to?

Thoughts?
I say it because 97% of my residents are HOH.

whos there??

"who"s there?" loloolok i do it because most of the time the people dont know where the knock came from(ie confused). They can hear my voice and respond. Also because we have semi private rooms. I usually do knock if it s a private room.

Ever try to knock on a curtain?

I only do that if my hands are full, because I feel really stupid saying that.....lol

Most people actually knock AND say 'knock, knock'! It's okay - - get over it!

I personally don't care which way is done, as long as it is to protect privacy. MY issue is those that do either and just enter before waiting for permission to enter. There are bigger fish to fry out there.

I dont because they are usually asleep.

I say it a lot because most of the time I have 2+ glasses of ice water, drinks and graham crackers, apple sauces/spoons and meds to bring in. The larger the food/beverage order, the higher the chance I'm going to say "knock knock" :P Also, pt's don't know who's knocking and a lot of the time, and they seem more relaxed with a soft 'knock knock' in the middle of the night when they recognize my voice, compared to plain knocking on the door.

Quote from LaughingRNEver try to knock on a curtain?

My hands are full, their door is open, and I'm supposed to knock? They can see me coming! I just say "knock, knock" to be polite. I guess I could put my stuff down, close the door, and then knock on it, if I were full of extra time and not too bright.
