Braingle: 'Ignorance to Answer' Brain Teaser

Ignorance to Answer

Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.

A woman sits on her couch as the doorbell rings. However, the woman doesn't answer. She is completely aware of the ringing, she has an ability to get it, and is not waiting for another person to respond. She doesn't dislike this person. In fact she cherishes them.

What is the situation?

Hint

The person is someone in her family.

The person is able to get in, so she is not ignoring them, technically.

Gwendalla Aug 22, 2011	Thank you for your feedback (please put any more feedback to help me improve, anyone)! I understand completely! You are correct in your answer too. So, I suppose any family member fits the bill.
Thekid4 Aug 22, 2011	I thought it was the dog. How exactly is a dog a person
BeanSC Aug 22, 2011	I thought it was her husband working on fixing the doorbell.
scallio Aug 23, 2011	I was sure it was the "door bell repair man". I'd cherish the person coming to repair my broken doorbell.
Gwendalla Aug 23, 2011	Well, I suppose that mine wasn't as good as the editors thought, but you can sure be creative and have fun with it! Thanks everyone!
BookwormAnG Aug 27, 2011	It could of been better if the answer was more complicated.

thebrain789 Nov 16, 2011	I also thought it was the dog.
Gwendalla Nov 17, 2011	Great minds think alike!
dxdynamite Mar 12, 2012	It's a surprise party.
Gwendalla Mar 29, 2012	Haha, I like that one!
Marple Feb 06, 2013	There are too many possibilities to this. Not good!
Gwendalla Feb 26, 2013	Sorry... I created this one a LONG time ago, and I must say I'm rather embarrassed about it now.
