If true, actually hilarious.

I did this same exact thing two days ago.

What is the success rate on these guys? Is anyone actually buying solar panels from these people?

Or or, just tell them to go away

Leave a pride flag or similar in your window. I used to get Mormons all the time until I hung up a Lurking Class tapestry of a skull in my front window.

See i’d swing in wondering what the fuck two randos are doing at my door and tell them to clear out.

Just had to talk to the second solicitor this week… I hate living in a suburban neighborhood.

Just announce “Diahyureah.” While making eye contact as you make b line to your front door. No hesi steps, just Euro steps through them. Or just ask them about politics.

I’ve reached the old age of “oh this is going to be fun” level of confrontation with this shit. You show up at my doorstep unannounced? Gonna learn today…

I’m introverted as hell but I’d be damned before being kept from the comfort of my own home because of door to door sales.
thequejos on
I always choose the other door when arriving or leaving the grocery store to avoid the sales, petitions, charities, etc.

Was in my garage last week and dude was walking toward me from couple houses away already waving at me. Garage door button pressed. Shameless

Can’t stand solicitors
Sopapillas4All on
I pull into the garage, close it, and continue to not answer the door. IDC if they know I’m home, I don’t have to answer the door

I thought I was the only one who had done that 😂

I find that answering the door in my underwear tends to streamline their pitch. If not, I will invite them in for illicit substances and tobacco.

Is that a wrx? Also, nice dodge!

I have a NO SOLICITATION sign right next to my doorbell (like 3-inches away) it currently has a 100% fail rate at stopping solicitors.

I would absolutely do this.

I’m like 5 blocks from 3 churches and I swear it’s a couple times a month that they’re knocking — and that’s before the sales people. Ugh.
LordSlickRick on
I tell them I’m not interested, but the wife thinks I’m too rude.
MX304 on
I would have been petty as fuck. Pulled right in my driveway, made eye contact, backed out and left.
dalminator on
I always just tell them to fuck off and if they’re so fucking desperate go stand on a corner begging, at least they won’t be wasting anyone’s time there.

No way am I being kept away from my own home just because I don’t like confrontation. There’s a line and letting them win crosses it.
TeslaCrna on
I live in a no soliciting neighborhood with a sign that says “Do Not Knock”. Do you think that stops these idiots? Nope! Glad they get all this hate.
Critical_Cute_Bunny on
Yeah my second job was door knocking. Its bloody rough job, even if you’re there to sell something beneficial, people just hate the invasiveness of door knocking.
I was an introvert and fucking hated it so much, id suck at turning objections and barely made a couple hundy a week for nearly a year before i just decided it was time to move on.
You really learn a lot about people doing a job like that, some people are keen, most aren’t. The biggest thing i picked up was just how lonely older people were. They’d be super happy you knocked and would talk your ears off because its likely you’re one of the only new people to speak to them in weeks. They had some interesting stories, but time is quite literally money so i always felt awful trying to leave when it was clear they weren’t interested or whatever i was doing wasn’t right for them (I.E getting people to sign up to charities when its clear these older folks don’t have much income to spare).

Here it is: “No soliciting please, private property, and I won’t talk to you. But best of luck”. If they say anything back, smile and go inside. Just be firm and respectful, don’t engage.

Tell them to fuck off
giibro on
Nah I tell them to get lost right to their face with eye to eye contact

When I work from home I constantly get solar salespeople doorknocking. Like at least once a day from different companies.
As soon as I open the door I lie and tell them I’m renting – they fuck off immediately 🤣
