Even when an RA isn't on call/duty, they are obligated to answer their door when there's a knock. This happens usually around 50 percent of the time you have just gotten into bed for a nap. RA's are not about to wake up from their delicious nap to get up and deal with an issue. The resident can go find another way to solve their problem.
This may sound selfish and as if RAs are shirking their duty, but if you got woken up to go unlock residents door because he left his ID inside and doesn't want to bother his roommates, you'd be pissed, too. Or maybe they interrupted you trying to submit an assignment on time that your procrastination had pushed you close to the deadline for, but their interruption made you late. That's another reason to get angry.
In addition, residents who knock at the door like church-mice are possibly (though, again, no research has been done in this area) more obnoxious than the door kickers. At least the church mice are polite though.
So to sum up this short little rant, don't bother me! Go find the on-call RA or DON'T FORGET YOUR ID.
