to knock on my door and try to sell me shit, whether it be some worthless product or religion?

Do you want me knocking on your fucking door and annoying you?

4/4/2012 6:57:32 PM

4/4/2012 6:58:12 PM

4/4/2012 6:59:00 PM

What about girl scout cookies? Would you be mad about that?

4/4/2012 6:59:43 PM

I hate girl scout cookies. They're overpriced garbage.

I did, however, donate to some little girls softball league.

ONLY EXCEPTION I'VE MADE

My sister went door to door with Krispy Kreme in middle school. Somehow, I don't think that's what you're referring to.

I politely tell them our neighborhood has a no solicitation policy and that I am not interested.

4/4/2012 7:02:45 PM

I am so butthurt I could murder all of you people right now

4/4/2012 7:03:45 PM

Get one of these:



Cause everyone wants your crappy wrapping paper and chocolate covered cherries out of a magazine!

lol. as someone that has done door knocking in the past, this don't mean shit

4/4/2012 7:04:45 PM

I'm willing to overlook how tacky that is since people have no god damn manners

4/4/2012 7:05:13 PM

^^ It does give you a free pass to point at the sign and slam the door though.

4/4/2012 7:05:55 PM

I want that sign

4/4/2012 7:06:37 PM

^^ yep, and he will just move on to the next door

it's all part of the job

[Edited on April 4, 2012 at 7:06 PM. Reason : a]

4/4/2012 7:06:40 PM

THAT ISN'T A JOB. IT'S HARASSMENT. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

4/4/2012 7:07:15 PM

It's definitely a shitty job, but it's a living. I'd rather someone knock on my door for a paycheck than sit at home on unemployment.

4/4/2012 7:10:11 PM

^agree

4/4/2012 7:11:28 PM

I am pretty paranoid at the house, and solicitors dont do well at my door.

I try not to be rude to them, but I always come off like a complete asshole.

4/4/2012 7:11:41 PM

or you could always just not answer

4/4/2012 7:12:21 PM

or answer in an entirely inappropriate manner.

4/4/2012 7:13:14 PM

It's the worst when they roll up while I'm fucking sleeping. How about I wake you the fuck up because I'm an indecent piece of shit

With kids, thats not typically an option. As soon as the doorbell goes off, they run around screaming about who it could be.

I especially don't like when they pry. Alarm sales guys are the worst. "Oh, you already have a system? Who is it with?".

4/4/2012 7:21:01 PM

They keep doing it because they are actually fairly successful. I was shocked at how many people actually buy. I am like you, I look at them as a nuisance. But the success rate is obviously high enough that the reps are willing to put up with the abuse......at least in the short term. (I don't know any reps that make it longer than 6 months doing door-to-door sales)

Just do like my dad always did when the Jehovah's Witnesses would come around my house: "Get the fuck away from the door and don't look out the windows".

it gives me a polite way to decline whatever it is they are selling.

4/4/2012 7:41:07 PM

Why would you want to be polite to some rude mother fucker coming on your property and annoying you?

4/4/2012 7:44:02 PM

and why do you need a no soliciting policy to politely decline what they are selling?

4/4/2012 7:45:51 PM

You could always put that sign up, and then hand out Hooked on Phonics pamphlets whenever someone knocks on your door..... then when they ask why, tell them it's because they obviously can't fucking read. Or something similar.

jesus you people are angry... I don't NEED the no solicitation policy to tell them no, but it's often the easiest way... and I am normally polite to people unless they give me a reason not to be.

(yes, I have had to get stern and tell people to leave my property immediately, but that's rare)

4/4/2012 7:50:31 PM

false hopes of winning that super nintendo for selling the most at the school

4/4/2012 7:53:27 PM

dude pulled up in my yard several months ago and blew the horn. i was in my drawers and by the time i finally got some shorts on and made it to the door he was backing back down the driveway. he saw me open the door and pulled back up there. he says "sorry about the horn, i didn't know if your dog would bite." i told him she probably wouldn't. he gives me some spill about wanting to pave my gravel driveway. i said "nah, i like the gravel so i can hear when folks like you pull in here." he de-assed the premises swiftly.

When I lived in Cary there used to be this group that would come through selling magazines to win a free trip to Cancun for Spring Break. I was like "Wait, what? I am supposed to help you pay for a party trip? At least lie and say you are raising money for deaf kids or something"

4/4/2012 7:56:27 PM

i hate those grimy looking kids selling magazines... i've had more than one ask to come in and smoke weed... just what I want to do... smoke up with some random 15 year old who is probably casing the neighborhood.

4/4/2012 7:58:39 PM

they just want to see if you've got anything worth stealing inside

4/4/2012 7:59:33 PM

^yeah... hence the "casing the neighborhood" thing

I was at the ghetto Walmart in Greensboro last Friday, and some young girl, probably 11 or so, popped up as soon as I got out of the car. Before I'd even closed the door to walk towards the store, she had a plastic grocery store bag and asked me "do you want to buy some candy, it's a dollar from my bag." I said no thank you, and proceeded to go to the Walmart. Then she tacked on "It's donations, really, donations for deaf kids." Never seen an organization give you a plastic bag and tell you to confront people in the parking lot as they're getting out of their cars...

I say we should be allowed to crucify these people. If they still want to risk it, go ahead.
