In a funny gag, Alice knocks on Bob's door or rings Bob's doorbell. But right before he opens the door, Alice runs off! And Bob is just standing there, wondering who the hell that mysterious knocker was. A common children's prank, especially favored by ThePrankster, though it's becoming more common for (childish) adults to also use this tactic.
A different, more daring variant would be to knock, hide, and when the other opens the door up, the knocker sneaks right inside; the knocking came in a form of WeNeedADistraction. Conveniently enough, the target of the distraction always steps outside the door, leaving enough space for the knocker to sneak behind them without any need to squeeze through. People who use this distraction method aren't caught as easily as running down the road where the victim can ''clearly'' see them go.
