Solicitation seems to be getting worse and worse in our neighborhood. I know some people have put signs up near their front door and/or door bell. Do these signs actually help to deter solicitors?

The mote usually stops most of them. My round the clock security detail handles the rest.
Perhaps I've said too much.

I've never put a sign on my door for fear that it would keep Ed McMahon and the Publisher's Clearinghouse Giveaway people away (it worked, hence the aforementioned mote and security detail).

Doesn't that just encourage a different kind of solicitor?
Not judging. Just asking

Your responses did not disappoint. Thank you, 'Tine.

A thousand times this.
You can't be on a leisurely stroll in my neighborhood without getting pegged on NextDoor as being suspicious and goodness forbid you drive slowly.

quote:When I was a kid there was an old blind man in the neighborhood who worked door to door sales. He was nice and always in a suit even when it was hot. My mom would buy stuff just to help him out, like household cleaning supplies and stuff. Aside from that, I don't know of anyone who has.

The browns who are all aggressive about painting up jer houze annoy me. There's like no way I could conceive of hiring a foreigner who woke me up from a nap to tell me my houze look like chit.
