Somebody is going to get hurt, most likely, one of those unwanted Door-Knockers. In America, almost no one conducts business by going door to door, with the exception of Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses.

Not even Kirby Vacuum Cleaners are sold that way anymore, where someone throws a handful of dirt on your light beige carpert, then attempts to impress you by quickly removing the dirt.
People will look through their doorbell camera, and either ignore the poorly dressed stranger, call the police, or head to their gun locker.

Back in the 1990s, we used to get Boy Scouts selling popcorn or fertilizer and Girl Scouts selling cookies, plus solicitors selling encyclopedias and magazines door to door. No more.

Try contractors in Florida. Because we told the son of a contractor who was working on a house down the street that, despite his teenage insistence not to take no for an answer, we didn't need his father's services, he shattered our French terra cotta birdbath by throwing it on the ground before walking off the property. We didn't know about it until three days later.

The Jehovahs Witnesses disappeared in our very rural area for a few years but a couple showed up last week—you could tell from the literature they were holding.

Before they could say a word I said:

“You have brainwashed eyes. Look at your eyes. You are brainwashed. Get the bleep out of here.”

They were stunned and fled—don’t think they had gotten that response before...

I've started seeing quite a few solar and window companies doing this now..
