Have you ever had the experience of someone knocking without prior arrangement on your door and you are unable (as contrasted with unwilling) to answer promptly at that time, then on a later occasion being told, indignantly, "I knew you were in but you did not answer the door" as if, notwithstanding you living in a private residence you are expected to provide a reception desk facility continuously during business hours, as might reasonably be expected of a business?
