Default Door-to-Door Solicitation, does this bother you?

This is the second time this month some idiots tried to solicit me to buy something... oh wait, "advertise" is the term the idiot used. I have, in red, a sign that says "No Solicitation" on both of my doors, front and back. Yet, f*ck*rs are a knocking... trying to sell me crap I would never buy from them. Just this afternoon, a guy and gal came buy, and since they didn't get an answer at the doors, came to my garage where I was working and wanted me to "advertise" if I wanted my house painted (note, my house has vinyl siding). According to the local law, as I am aware of, if they see any posted signs, they are not welcome and should walk on by. WTF? Would it be legal for me to shot this f*ckers? What a waste of time.

While it is annoying to be harassed... shooting a solicitor (or even brandishing a firearm) probably isn't going to work out in your favor. h:

I would think people know that I was joking about the "shooting"? But it does make you wonder about these people. According to them, it's not soliciting if they were advertising or just going through a list...

I hate when little kids come up and sell me Snickers bars for $1. I feel guilty when I say no.

Dude, I accidentally opened the door once to some guy who was begging me to give him $20 in cash. No reason. He just "needed" the money
