I've lived in my apartment for over a year and they (they = management) finally fixed the doorbell. Not having a working doorbell hasn't been my biggest concern, but it has caused some trouble. Despite the fact that I taped a "DOORBELL BROKEN" sign over it, every delivery person ever to come to my door tried to ring it. So a notification of a delivery in my apartment amounted to a faint clicking noise. Over the months I became very attuned to this subtle sound, able to discern it over the noise of the television, the radio, or even my white noise generator (which exists for the sole purpose of blocking out such sounds).
The new (working) doorbell provides relief from this constant pressure to achieve super-human hearing. But it comes with its own problem: it has been installed upside-down. Upside-down? Yes, upside-down. Instead of making the sound "Ding Dong" like every other doorbell, it makes the sound "Dong Ding." "DONG DING!" While that may not make much sense in text form, come to my apartment and ring my doorbell. You'll understand what I mean.
If only they were Ho-Ho's! Then, even their inversion would still be Ho-Ho's.
