Etiquette and taboo of knocking at the door

The most gentlemanly etiquette when knocking at the door is to bend your index finger and knock three times. The interval between these three times should be 0.3-0.5s, and the intensity should be moderate. Otherwise, knock too lightly, the people inside can't hear you, knock too hard and it's impolite, and others will resent you.

Even if the door is not closed, you should knock before you go in and get permission from the people inside. The most taboo of knocking at the door is punching and kicking. Don't knock at random. If there are old people in the room, they will be frightened.

Knock three times, the interval is 0.3 ~ 0.5 seconds, too fast will make people upset, too slow will make people feel sloppy and unconfident. Knocking twice to show familiarity is equivalent to saying "hello" and "I'm coming in". It is impolite to knock on the door more than four times.
