In the vein of Gun Show Ettiquite.

[Great-Kazoo]

Let's journey down Common Sense lane and compare notes. Not a rant just well .....................

Sign #1 PLEASE ASK BEFORE TOUCHING FIREARMS.

Simple enough Visible Large capital letters clearly posted on multiple ares of table at gun show. Approximate time from placing last sigh to 1st transgression....Not even back around table as other vendors feel the need to finger fvk the NIB H&K91. lets not talk about what happens once the GP is let in.

#2 DAY SLEEPER DO NOT DISTURB

3 days before that request went to shit. Granted it was the UNSUPERVISED rugrats from the church next door. However What the Hell are children no more than 5-8 years old doing knocking on my, let alone any door with out a parent in sight ??

#3 NO PARKING DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAY. YOU WILL BE TOWED

Once again simple request Y or N ? The best response i received was again from the well to do "gentleman" after i asked him to not block me in.
Oh i know it's no parking. However i will only be there 60 minutes...

#4 HANDICAPPED PARKING
Do I even need to talk about this one.

#5 NO SOLICITING. Green River Ordinance in Effect

DING DONG goes the doorbell. HEY guy see the sign??? YEAH i did didn't know if you were interested in .................so i figured i would ring the bell.


#6 CLOSED SIGN ON. OPEN TURNED OFF
Bang Bang Bang on the shop door. Then they start knocking on the glass with what ever they have in their hand. You are walking out the door and they actually ask "ARE YOU STILL OPEN"??
I told one couple, I have no clue i was just robbing the place! GIVE ME your wallets!!. Look on his face, PRICELESS.

Common Sense or just too f#$%^k stupid for their own good.

#5 NO SOLICITING. Green River Ordinance in Effect

DING DONG goes the doorbell. HEY guy see the sign??? YEAH i did didn't know if you were interested in .................so i figured i would ring the bell.

Had to call the sheriff one day after a guy would not leave. But I am not selling anything he kept repeating.....

You are at my door and want to talk. I do not know you. That means that somewhere down the line someone wants to transfer money from me to them.

Jim, sad but true!! I am finding that the older I get, the less patience I have with all the stupid shit that our current population is pulling. Common courtesy and good/proper ethics are almost a thing of the past. Oh well, at almost 76 years of age, I won't have to put up with all this stupid shit too much longer and you much younger guys will still be around to take your turns at my type of ranting and raving.......

My porch has a gate on it, with a "no soliciting" sign on the post. The gate had a snap clip on it (not a lock, but still required reaching over and unclipping it). I answered the door to find a woman who identified herself as a teacher from Wheatridge High School, and she starts her pitch about whatever liberal politician she was supporting (and expecting me to). I told her I was not interested, and pointed out that she had walked past a "no soliciting" sign. Instead of leaving, she started arguing about the definition of "soliciting". She felt that since she wasn't selling anything, my sign didn't apply to her! A brief argument ensued, and I told her that if she didn't leave, I'd call the police. Didn't work, she wanted to argue Trespass laws. She finally left when I told her that I was about to physically remove her from my property. This really pissed me off. She represented herself as a teacher, therefore was representing her school. My tax dollars paying for liberal proselytizing?. I wrote a letter about the event to the school's principal. Never got a response.

Yeah "No Soliciting" signs never work! I've seriously thought about going door to door selling No Soliciting signs to people who don't have the. I think the irony is just hilarious!!

I learned while still in my early teens that a large segment of the population just outright ignore signs. They think they for other people.

There is a very small percentage that don't comply by mistake.

Hang In There.

Or to quote Linus, I love mankind. It's people I can't stand.

Actual sign on our front door, courtesy of my beautiful wife!
Add to that the infamous "VOTE SATAN" sign, we don't get a lot of people to our front door...
