The Conditional "No Soliciting" Sign
| I work from home. It's a luxury I'll admit, but it does have its downsides. One of them is the periodic annoyance of people ringing my doorbell. This sends my dog into a full scale meltdown which of course means I have to descend from my attic lair to the first floor to calm my dog and find out who is ringing my doorbell. Ninety percent of the time the person at my door is an unwelcome intrusion. If only there were some way to filter out the 90%. A simple "No Soliciting" sticker in my storm door might discourage everyone from ringing my doorbell and I don't want that. Somehow I need to figure out a sign. I don't mind politicians and school kids hawking trash bags, but the rest need to leave me be. |

post a commentYeah - me too. I don't mind buying Girl Scout cookies or supporting the local soccer team, but I have no interest in opening the door for some kid from Chicago that was dropped off in the neighborhood to sell magazine subscriptions to help him learn to be a businessman, the AT&T guy that tries to sell me Uverse every few months or someone trying to get me to buy a year's worth of oil changes.
Damn... got me fired up.
I was just Googling my way around looking for a "No Soliciting Sign" to buy for my front door. I want one that isn't hideously ugly like the standard ones they sell at home depot, but one that gets the point across. Anyway, my google search brought me to your blog. Based on the constraints you placed on who you would allow to ring your doorbell, you might like one of the signs at this website: http://www.sundancedesigns.net/house_rules.htm. (I have no association or connection whatsoever with that website - please don't think I'm just trying to plug a sales pitch). Have a good day! Kevin
Oh man, I am in the same boat. I also work from home. I went to home depot to buy one of those signs and no luck. I usually only order off amazon and I found this sign. http://www.amazon.com/No-Soliciting-Sign-flower/dp/B001UAT9NI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1238524705&sr=8-7
Its nice because of the flower and I plan to write in "except girl scouts" underneath since there is room.
Same thing here. I am thinking of placing a sign at the base of our stairs that says, "These stairs are steep and it's not worth the climb. We won't buy anything and our faith is just fine."
