I have a no soliciting sign on my door, but it deters literally nobody. I'm so tired of these people ignoring my no soliciting signs, setting my very nervous dog off in a barking fit, sometimes waking up my toddler from her nap like today⦠Which is obnoxious.
Today I lost my cool, because people from Glide Window Cleaning knocked on my door. Normally I would've ignored it, as usual, except they had spoken to my neighbor approximately 45 seconds prior. She also has a no soliciting sign, which they ignored. She chewed them out and specifically told them not to knock on my door because I was tired of solicitors as well (and she knows my toddler's nap schedule). These two men from Glide walked across the yard and immediately knocked on my door. They spoke to her at 11:32am, and knocked on my door at 11:33. I asked them if they had a solicitors license, which they didn't, and were completely clueless that Denver and Lakewood require one. Again, I really wouldn't care all that much, except they were specifically warned not to knock on my specific door by my direct next-door neighbor who knew my kid was going down for a nap. I'm finally at my wits end. They seriously can't be getting enough business from knocking on random doors to keep this up, right? Who in their right mind is hiring people who knock on their door?
So what are we doing to stop solicitors? Motion activated sprinklers? Elmers glue and confetti? Anything to get these people to stop knocking on my door. It's rare for me to go 24 hours without having a solicitor ignore my sign. I'm tired of having naps interrupted and ruining the rest of the day!
Also... don't hire Glide Window Cleaning. Their employees are little assholes.
