There are some superstitions in persons who ring the calling bell.
First, thinking that the host is just waiting behind the door for the bell to go.
Second, thinking that the host is intentionally delaying to respond even after two successive rings.
Thirdly, thinking that the host will be able to smell from the absence who has come and gone away when the door is opened.
Coupled with this is the comedy - reaching back home or going somewhere, from there making a call through mobile saying that having waited and rang the bell a couple of times, returned with the door unopened.
Best answer to this is always : 'oh sorry my friend. A mismatch. When opened the door nobody was around. It was you at last. Great. Sorry yea.'
Of course you need lot of ascetic practice to maintain the civic temperance.
