Really really stupid 'college student' soliciting
 

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." :skep: :lol:

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!!" :wtfru: Yep, he needs some too!! :lmao:

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.

we have been lucky, not even a Jahovah's Witness for a few years.

AMJ sees this and you're effed :lol:

edit: Ok, seriously with the fucking emm jay thing? :rolleyes:

Replace with this sign:

I think that will be the sign we put on the door. It seems the JW have started coming back again. :tt:

Maybe I should let our 157 lb dog out when they stop :rockwoot:

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 love when they show up, I invite them in for a beer and a few smokes(I don't even smoke) and they leave pretty quickly.

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.
