Canibeyou made me a really cool sign a few years ago. It says "No Soliciting" and is right beside my front door at eye level. You can't miss it!
Thursday night around 8:30 the doorbell rings. It's a young man carrying a clipboard - the type you see for magazine sales. He starts his routine, "Hi I'm Andre. I'm a college student..." I cut him off there. I pointed at the sign and said, "Do you see this sign?" He looked at me and said, "Yes, but I don't smoke." ![]() ![]() I told him that was SOLICITING - which means you are trying to sell me something. As I am closing the door he says, "But... it's for education!!" ![]() ![]() |

Yeah , tis the season. There's a company that does a summer exchange program where college students travel to differet parts of the country and sell books to get real world experience. One of them stopped by my house on the fourth of July. I was less than pleased.

I'm having one made that says "Solicitors are considered trespassers & will be shot"
I live in Texas and "have a right to defend my property how I see fit". |

I like to look out the window at them, making sure they see me. Then I walk away and still don't answer the door. They get the picture pretty quickly.

I live in a townhouse complex, so we're a repeated target for sales and religious door-knockers. My sign says, "No soliciting - religious or otherwise." It only works about 50% of the time and it's usually the Seventh Day Adventists or Jehovah's Witnesses who think that the sign doesn't apply to them, but we also get the people who are trying to pretend that they're from our gas company.
