Major Soliciting Problem

We just bought our house about a month and a half ago and let me tell you, about 25 people selling everything in the book has knocked on our door thus far. At first, we just assumed it was because we were new to the neighborhood and they need to hit up all the new buyers, but now its starting to become a problem.

One day, someone rang the door bell and Ryan's cousin answered. Then the man took a picture of his feet saying, "I just need to confirm someone lives here." CREEPY. Well 10 minutes later, someone selling home security stopped by. Well played creepy business man. We were officially creeped out. Anyways, this happens about 1-2 times per week now. When people first buy houses it goes on public record giving every door-to-door self-selling business the opportunity to get those addresses.

Look, I respect the hustle and doing what you need to do to survive, but I've just about had it with random people coming to my house trying to sell me something. Just the other day, some guy was selling this "amazing" cleaning supplies, and I tried to stop him numerous times to tell him I'm not interested so he wouldn't waste all his breathe on his spiel, but he just kept going. After about 10-15 minutes of showing me all the different surfaces that this product can clean AND having me test it with him, I finally just bursted out, "I'm not interested, sorry!" Well I guess he didn't like that so he snatched his product from my hand and started running. Meanwhile, he's yelling at me, "OK, THAT'S FINE, WHATEVER, JUST KEEP BEING DISGUSTING!!!" The nerve. I am disgusting and proud. LOL.

I was determined to find a cute "No soliciting" sign to hang on the front door, until I found this on Etsy.



One word: PERFECT. Except the next door neighbor that doesn't like us because we blocked their driveway for 20 minutes to drop our turf off in our backyard. Can I just add, they weren't going anywhere nor needed to leave, they just wanted to complain for who knows why.
