A No Soliciting Sign
|
| I can't guarantee that that no moronic solicitor will
ever bother you if you use this particular sign, but I can promise you
that this "No Soliciting" sign works better than any other --
well, unless you have a sign that conceals a small explosive charge. :-)
I have nothing against people who are trying to make an honest living, or "spread the word" about their religious or political beliefs, or who are collecting money for legitimate charities, but that doesn't mean I want them knocking on my door either. No one enjoys being interrupted constantly by door-to-door solicitors pushing one thing or another. It is particularly annoying or disturbing when they are persistent, aggressive or threatening. Our homes should be a safe haven, and yet companies drop off crews of salespeople in our neighborhoods, to knock on every door. These companies don't screen their salespeople for criminal records and in some cases entire crews are made up of people undergoing some kind of "rehabilitation." Also, it is quite common for thieves to pose as door-to-door solicitors to case homes for crimes of opportunity. It is dangerous to open your door to strangers, no matter how innocent they might look. And it's safer as well as less aggravating if you can stop them from knocking on your door or ringing your bell in the first place. Many people put up a standard "No Soliciting" sign and then are dismayed to see how many solicitors simply ignore the sign and knock on the door or ring the bell anyway. If you ask solicitors why they ignore your sign, the most common answer is that they are "not selling anything" -- which indicates that they have no idea what "soliciting" means. Not surprising, given the average degree of literacy of those who solicit door-to-door. Those solicitors who do know what soliciting means and choose to ignore your sign anyway, just don't have any respect or consideration for others. They'll typically smirk at you and tell you they've sold lots of whatever it is they're selling to people who had no soliciting signs on their doors. After years of frustration with the ignorance and selfishness of these cretins, I finally decided I would try to design a "No Soliciting" sign that no one with an IQ above a lab rat could possibly ignore. The design of this sign has evolved through several iterations, with changes based on feedback from solicitors who ignored it, until finally the most effective combination of text and images was found.
