Knocking on doors is annoying to those you are knocking on.
That, and those freaking non-stop phone calls are a GREAT way to piss off the voters.
Nope. Everyone was pleasant. Didn’t run into even one angry person. And we were intentionally seeking undecideds, and soft rats.
Truth is, not many folks on our side are banging on doors.
I agree. My home is my sanctuary and anyone who bothers me there for any reason pisses me off. We have a large courtyard and a couple of years ago fenced it in with wrought iron and a gate with a deadbolt. Now they can’t even get to my front door. ;)
As for the phone calls? I switched to a Magic Jack and put the phone in our office. Now we can’t even hear it ring. lol We both have cells for our family and friends to get ahold of us.
My grandson says we don’t like people. I told him he’s right.
Put up a "No Soliciting" sign. You can get them at Home Depot or Lowe's.
In my city, ignoring such a sign is an administrative offense, subject to a fine.
It's worked wonders for us. I've actually seen people approach the door, see the sign, turn around and keep walking.
But, the neighborhood Girl Scouts already know it doesn't apply to them. :-)
“Knocking on doors is annoying to those you are knocking on.”
Agree. I don’t have a private drive or live in the country, but live in a subdivision.
We have an ordinance against solicitation but a lefty group which begs for donations used the ICLU to overturn it. Unless you have a sign you can’t sic the cops on `em.
So I have a sign that basically says, “Don’t Ring This Doorbell (Unless You Are Giving Away Beer).”
That, and those freaking non-stop phone calls are a GREAT way to piss off the voters."
Yeah! Because sitting on our butts, pounding our keyboards, and preaching to the FReep choir has been so effective the last 15 years, hasn't it?
Do I really need a /sarc tag? If so, here it is.../sarc
