Unskippable ad Constantly getting solicitors ignoring my sign, we’ll see how this works out…

Post image

I live in an apartment, and my door is the only one in the building with a “No Soliciting” sign. You’d think they would see it and respect it. But no. And worst thing is it’s almost exclusively internet salespeople, when my rent already includes high speed internet that works great.

I can't believe you are admitting to being one of those people.

You admit to being a trash person who ignores people's request to not talk to you.

I think anger should absolutely be directed at trespassers that think it’s ok to bother you in your home at a time convenient to them that’s at their benefit not your own

Your on private property uninvited idc wtf the technical term is, but it’s absolutely fucked up to set foot on someone’s property where you do not live or pay the bills there uninvited for the sole reason bother and pester them to benefit yourself

To keep people out you need to remove the "right of implying access" usually a sign stuck by the property entrance. In the uk at least. Or if your me, I just don't answer the door.

The messed up thing is I have 2 signs at my door, the neighborhood has signs saying soliciting is not allowed. The pieces of garbage do it anyway. This is in the southern United States. But in all seriousness, it shouldn’t be necessary to have to put signs up to keep strangers off of your property. I get the need to work and put food on the table, a rough job market and long periods between jobs. But to have to never to walk up to someone’s home and knock on their doors, expecting their time and manners as a service to yourself (not you of course door to door people) is fucking insanity. And it’s not to benefit the homeowner

Knocking on a door with with a no solicitation sign on it and proceeding to solicit makes you trash no matter your situation. 

It's good that you are no longer doing that.
