You know what really pisses me off...

CAGiversary!
-When people come to my private residence and ask for money.

It really gets the blood boiling.. Especially after they look at you with disgust when you refuse to donate to a noble cause.
 
I don't like solicitors at all! I actually just put a sign that said No Solicitation, Thank You. Not a week later some Mormons come by and when I point out the sign (rather infuriatingly) one says "but we aren't selling anything" ugh... That's not all that solicitation encompasses! What really pisses me off though - is that I'm a stay at home dad and I have a sleeping 23 month old girl when these fuckers come by! A doorbell sound and two chihuahuas is as good as a buzzing alarm clock in my sleeping daughter's face. I'm going to have to add to the sign something about baby sleeping. I guess what I'm saying is - maybe try a sign on your door. Mine is very discreet at about 3 or 4 inches square and placed right beside the doorbell.

hmm... I might try the sign thing.
 
Well out townhousing area has signs saying no solicitations, and I put up a sticker saying no solicitation on my front glass door...yet they still come...............heck I was asked the other day if my wife was voting and if she was voting for obama......i'm like gtfo of here bitch.............
 
I live across from a school so I get little kids selling crap all the time. 1 day into this school year every 10-20 minutes after school let out some kid was knocking selling christmas paper or over priced junk. Unless its candy that they have on hand then they can go away. I love me some candy delivery.
Also those teenagers asking for magazine money really irk me. I usually won't answer the door at all if some kid over 10 is knocking.

Election time really blows. 4 years ago I put on my door (haven't voted yet today and if you bother me then I will vote for the other guy) After I put that sign up I only had one other person knock compared to like 6 an hour. They also annoy me by asking me to put signed in my yard or just doing it without permission which really ticks me off.

Haven't had anyone come to my door in over 6 years. Can't really remember anyone coming to sell stuff but those Jehova's Witness sure were persistent. Our front door has a small window.. I would here someone knocking, go check and saw it was them, they saw me.. walked into the other room and they kept knocking for another 5 minutes. Eventually, they left. LOL.
 
Speaking of Jehova's Witness. Once I went to a friend's house in high school and his dad was a paranoid drug dealer. With CC tv and bought the two houses next to his so he could control who his neighbors were. Never forget the time when I came over and I came in and found two Jehova's Witnesses on my friend's couch talking to him while he was stoned off his ass and playing N64. His dad came home like 10 minutes after I showed up and was livid. I never seen those guys get away from a house so quick after he started raising hell.
I have not had one show up for over 5 years though. We used to do funny stuff when they show up like answer the door in a towel with ranch on the side of my mouth while my roommate walked past completely naked and asked when i was going back to bed. Or quickly putting porn on the tv and turning it up real loud. When you say just a minute then those guys will give you plenty of time to set up whatever messed up thing you want to do.
 
Step 1: Buy chalk.
Step 2: Lay down on ground.
Step 3: Have someone make an outline of your body in a splayed position on the ground with the chalk.
Step 4: Watch all the solicitors skip your house cuz they think it's a crime scene.

:applause::D
 
Here on campus we don't get too many solicitations, as there's just WAY too many apartments to cover. But every once in a while, I get 2 idiots who come around trying to preach creationism. I just tell them to GTFO and quit poisoning children.
 
I understand your pain -- it's pretty annoying.

When I house-sat for someone over the course of about a year, my housemate and I would hang our used targets from the shooting range in the windows. If that's not a deterrent I don't know what is.

For those without access to a gun, tell the solicitor that you're extremely busy at that moment and ask for their home address so you could visit them at a time that's more convenient for you (works great with the JWs).

I did this once and ended up with free dinner and an interesting look into the life of an extremely religious family, something I hadn't had a lot of exposure to. I ended up joining them on a bunch of their "community building" projects (painting houses/doing yardwork for old/disabled members of the church) and we became good friends. When they would gather for prayer after the job was done I'd just kinda stand off to the side and it would never fail, whoever we would be doing the job for would be like "Brother (whats his name?, ck64?), Brother ck64, please don't be shy and join us in prayer", obviously not knowing I was just along for the ride cuz I like to do nice things. I'd politely decline and get weird looks and someone would have to explain it. They never convinced me of anything religion-wise, but they turned out to be cool people and even stopped asking me if I was ready to join after awhile.

a cool story, bro.
 
My parents have a "No soliciting" sign on their door as well. A couple of years ago, a couple of Morons or Jehohos decided to knock anyway. I was in my room getting ready to go somewhere, my parents didnt answer the door. So when i was walking to my car I straight up laid into them. I don't give a flying fuck about your god let alone you. No soliciting means stay the fuck away.

Thats cool that you would actually go out in the community and help out. Had it been me when they start on about the prayer, I'd politely tell them that I don't need some imaginary thing in the sky to be a good person

Every religious thing I have ever done was for free food. I had a neighbor who was Jehovah's Witness and I used to come over because his daughter was hot. Probably still one of the hottest girls I ever seen in real life. Anyways I would come over like every two days and eat home cooked meals and her dad would debate me on religion. It was weird though because she had to get a waiver for financial aid for college because her parents would not sign it because they had never paid taxes. We never dated but did hang out a lot. Even though they parents didn't celebrate holidays she got money anytime she asked for it. When we turned 21 they were the reason I was able to go out 5 nights a week because she parents were giving her like 50 a night.

I also lived like two houses down from a African American church that I went to for like three months out of guilt. The first time I got locked out of my apartment when I came home from the bar because I lost the key to the lobby and my roommate was passed out rig

In college I was curious about the JW thing from a co-worker so I went with her and her brother and sister to their "Church" every saturday. Her sister was SO HOT, but honestly she wasn't worth converting for. What's weird is that her mom, sister and brother were all JW's except for her dad, who remained Catholic. I know the co-worker got married in 1999 and I never spoke to her since then......wonder what happened to them. hmm..
