How to turn away solicitors

Hit click before I got done
Yes I did and yes it was with Jehovah Witnesses. The woman yelped and the guy actually stopp talking.

The kicker was when I asked them to come in. If I ever thought shoes could make screeching sounds, I would have sworn they did

I guess the nude thing only works if you’re a guy!

Just say “NO.” If they keep on talking,
ask them “What part of NO don’t you
understand? The N or the O?”

Thanks, but I’ve pretty much reached that age where I get the catalog of wrapping paper or whatever and stuff it into the bottom of my locker…but if I actually decide to sell something I’ll remember it :slight_smile: thanks!

This is probably not enforceable. THe Supreme Court has found that refusing groups the right to “solicit” limits their first-amendment rights.

This is so not the case. They know it’s a brush off: nobody ever sends it in later, or near enough as makes no difference.

A legitimate charity will have a permit issued by your city/town/village government, which they should be displaying at all times.

For all the little ones (except the neighborhood locals) hawking the candy and cookies, I have one stock response. You get this look of genuine sorrow on your face and tell them, “Sorry, I’m diabetic.” Some of the more resourceful little rotters will trot out some salted nuts and then you have to tell them that you’re anaphlactic too. VogueVixen’s response of being out of work dislodges even the hardiest of limpets.
