It reads, “ My son just got me out of talking to a door-to-door cable salesman so I guess parenthood was all worth it.”

    We finally got a “no soliciting” sign and it’s insane how much it actually works. I had just assumed people would ignore it and it’d be as useless as the do not call list. But I was wrong and people turn their ass around before ringing the doorbell

      Me too. My SO is too fucking nice. I love her for being so nice, but I caught her giving way too much personal info to some random solicitor. When I asked her why she would do that she “felt bad” for him. Nope, not having that, and the sign has worked wonders by preventing all contact in the first place. Can’t feel guilty if you don’t engage.
