maximizing bells for both you and your neighbor

I wanted to ask a question. Usually when I visit a neighbor the Canon has a bell which I always go for along with the elf door bell. Just now I saw the fuse on top of the cannon instead of the usual bell. When I tapped on the fuse the Canon fired the elves in the bottles. Did I just waste one of my neighbors cannon blasts? Barry... Sorry neighbour if I did in fact waste one if your 3 blasts. First time that happened...
