Specifically, I don't want anyone coming my door to share their religious beliefs. When I was younger, I allowed them in and heard them out, however, I no longer feel the need to learn more about them. So I've got to think of a proper sign. I mean they seem like wonderful people, I just don't want them ringing my bell.

oh my gosh.... before the election I must have had 5 Obama campaign people at my door everyday! My dogs would go ballistic. I always had some sort of literature on my doorstep every single day I came home, sometimes more than 1. It was sooo annoying!

Such a good idea to put up a "No Soliciting" sign. I have the UEP (Universal Energy Program) guyS coming to knock on my door really rude and loud eventhough I have a doorbell every single week. They wouldn't take no for an answer. I googled them they are full of fraud and had just been fined. They keep trying to sell me a 5-years contract that saves your gas and hyrdo bill because they give you a frozen rate, a very high one though. What they'd do is get you to show them your bill to get your account number, and then ask you to fill up their so called application form but you are not obligated to use their service until they call and you have to say yes but what they'd do is get your bill, and fill up the form for you, some even copy your signature and then call you and ask you to confirm your address so you'd say yes and they'd save that "yes" word that you said and made it into yes, you want their service. Their catch is, you have to pay them hundreds of dollars some even thousands of dollars to cancel their ridiculous bill if you want out before the 5 years contract and people who accidentaly signed up with them always wants out because their gas and hydro bill is more expensive and up the roof! I am not opening the door the next time round!

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?

It's funny, after I posted on here a guy tried to sell me a magazine subscription at the door. He looked creepy though and gave me 2 different reasons for selling them a $2000 cash prize and later he said a trip to Europe. I got suspicious and told him I'm not interested and he said something like "Well I also get points for hugs and kisses." uh.... what?????

I have to say, I agree with just about everything that was posted. If it says no solicitors, don't bother knocking, period. Those magaziner's are the worst!
