In an image posted to Reddit the annoyed inhabitant of the home appears to have sellotaped a piece of paper to the wall with helpful hints to people making deliveries
A FRUSTRATED tenant has hilariously posted a Wikipedia article about how doorbells work at the entrance to his home after failing to receive deliveries.
The irritated shopper claimed the reason for the sign was that Amazon delivery drivers repeatedly posted sorry we missed you cards through his letterbox despite someone being home.

In an image posted to Reddit the annoyed inhabitant of the home appears to have sellotaped a piece of paper to the wall with helpful hints to people making deliveries.
The top half of the post is a screen shot from the Wikipedia page about doorbells.
Underneath a note bearing a large black arrow reads: To Amazon/Couriers/Food delivery drivers etc;
This is a Doorbell, it seems people are having difficulty understanding its purpose.
Above is an Encyclopedia article explaining what it is for and what it does.
For those of you knocking fruitlessly on the door, we cannot hear you at he back of the house or upstairs.
The post then continues in block capitals: So although it might be a complex operation: PLEASE PRESS THE BUTTON SO WE CAN ANSWER THE DOOR. THANK YOU
The post was made by a Reddit user from the UK who said that it had been made because of Amazon Logistics.
Other users also posted their frustrations with delivery drivers, many claiming to have experienced similar issues.
One posted: Ive gotten a Sorry we missed you sticker on the frame of an open door. I was home.
Another added: Yeah, Ive been near an open screen door and gotten one of those, had to spend an inordinate amount to go and collect the package.
A further Reddit user said: I work from home and my home office window is right next to the front door.
Ive literally watched a delivery driver come up to my door and just place it on the porch without trying to notify me.
I opened the door and thanked them and they seemed genuinely shocked that someone was home and watching them.
But some posts blasted the note as patronising even suggesting it would have a counterproductive effect.
A disgruntled user said they wouldnt even bother knocking, Id just leave the missed you slip and leave.
Another, claiming to be a delivery person added: Thats how you get in trouble.
One more said: I had the same problem. This worked well: Delivery drivers: Please ring bell..'
A fourth user commented on the previous comment describing that as far less patronising.
