[This is a perfect example backing up my earlier thesis.]

But to address the point....  If you're not home, why would you care if
someone stood outside your house all day ringing your doorbell, which
was the example you gave?  As long as it's not disturbing your pets,
who cares?  They're hardly wasting your time, just their own.

Then again, if someone is repeatedly ringing your doorbell, and you're
home, and it bothers you, it doesn't take that big a stretch of the
imagination to come to the conclusion that you could then, at that
point, have a look out the window and see who's doing it (or punch his
or her or their lights out [or call their mom]).
