Don't ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for me.

I am getting so tired of people who come up to the desk and ring the bell without giving me two seconds to get up from the comfy chair in the office. I can see them coming on the survailence video. If I see them coming up to the desk, I start to get up. But they always always ALWAYS ring that damn bell!

You remember that scene in the morgue in MIB where Edgar keeps ringing the bell? It's just like that.

I wouldn't think that one quick ring would be SC - after all, you can see them coming, but they don't know that. Now, if they continue to ring it, without giving time for anyone to get there, then that's rude and annoying.

Personally, I'd rather have people get into the habit of ringing the bell.....cuts down on those who just walk in and stand there, expecting that I'll be aware of their presence even though I'm in another part of the church office and can't see/hear people come in. (But that's just speaking from my personal experience)

I don't have a problem with the bell in and of itself. My pet peeve is when people don't even wait 2 seconds at the desk before they resort to using the bell.

We don't have a bell at the desk, but when they walk in through the door it rings a bell, and then they can hear my clacky shoes as I come around the corner.

I love the people, though, who start screaming "HELLOHELLOHELLO!!!" before they even get all the way through the door!

Now, if you were a World of Warcraft player, every time you heard DING! you could sit in your chair and reply, "GRATZ!"
