just made and put up my NO SOLICITING sign

[sniper7]

I'm about tired of the people coming by wanting to sell crap, get you to buy their books for their "college fundraiser"...(go get a fucking job), religious groups, etc etc.

The only people I want to see are young kids doing their fundraisers because they can't get jobs and money can be tight with the parents, and the boy scouts and girl scouts.

man I can't wait to have property and put a fence around the place with a gated entrance....

Right there with you on that... I need to get away from the damn city, on some land, and away from those kind of people...

You got a garand?

Yep. I have a glass storm door and it says no soliciting on it right at eye level when they start up the steps. When a solicitor comes to the door they are greeted by a pissed off 155 pound blood hound baying and jumping up and down. I just ask them what they want while he's raising hell from behind the glass . Usually they try to get all pissy because he's so loud and intimidating, some even ask if I will put him away so we can have a conversation. At that point I motion towards the sign and just walk away. Bloodhound still going ape shit crazy.

Mrs. Sharpienads made one that says "No Soliciting... unless you're a Girl Scout"

Only had one douchebag knock on my door since we put it up about 6 months ago.

When I lived in town I had one right at eye level on the front door.
Didn't stop shit...
They said they were taking donations, taking a survey, getting signatures for a petition, free roof inspection, saving my soul, etc.
Most probably didn't even know what the word "soliciting" meant.
Now you are going to be twice as pissed...
1. You got people knocking on your door.
2. You got people ignoring your sign.

The guys I really wanted to give an ass beating to were the ones that knock, and then step off to the side so you can't see them through the peep hole. They do that so you will step out to see who it was, and then they are right there. I about killed one of those guys... Mostly cuz I saw him do it through another window, and was ready for him.

The problem with "No Soliciting" signs is that the kind of person who's made enough bad decisions in their life that they decide that Door-To-Door sales is their best option to make a living are not likely to know what the hell the word "Soliciting" means.


Maybe a better option:

My door bell doesn't work. People need to call my cellphone to get in.

Guess my next one will be a huge "go away". Maybe disable the doorbell.
