The mother of one captioned the clip: “I actually think this is great!”

“We’ve been living in America for a few months, but this is something we just discovered that blew my mind,” he said.

Amber explained that a few weeks ago, she and her husband heard a knock on the door and went to answer it because they assumed it was a package delivery.

However, it was just a ‘drunk’ man asking for a charger.

When the lovebirds told their friends about the encounter, they told Amber that mailmen don’t knock or knock on the door.

Amber explained: “That’s when we discovered that apparently deliveries don’t come knocking. Since then, over the past few weeks, I’ve been paying close attention. No delivery man or postman knocks on the door.

‘Even when I have asked for fresh food to be delivered, they don’t knock on the door. They just leave them at the door.

He pointed out that in the UK all delivery people knock on the door and that you are “lucky” if they leave your package at your door if you don’t answer.
