It especially bothers me when religious people do this, I think they are being extremely deceptive when they say they don't know what the word means, and as missionaries, I believe that they should set a good example of what their particular religion is all about, but when they start off by acting like they don't know the word, and it doesn't apply to them, I feel like they are being deceptive and disrespectful to other people's wishes. I really feel like it's important to respect others, if you want to share you personal beliefs about God.

Maybe this bothers me more because Joey goes off on a tangent every time the door bell rings, but I want to know what other's think, if you see the words, "No Solicitors" do you think it includes those who are missionaries?

By the way, this isn't meant to be a religious thread, I really want to just know how people define the term solicitor.

I think it means if you aren't a friend or family member, or delivering mail/packages, don't bother.
