THAT is why knocking was invented. If you are going to barge into peoples room at least give the poor person a heads up. My parents will barge into my room all the time and it is sooo freaking irritating. Its like they have no manners. Then when i am in my basement my mom will go into my room like she own the place. Even...though....she...does. BUT THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT!!!
