Yeah- well that is soliciting :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332819 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:17:56 +0000 lemondrop 1332819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: Murphy's Law, right?! Yes, we are either going to disconnect the doorbell again or tape something over it to hinder their progress! It still doesn't help that the dog is ready to eat anyone who approaches the door and has to bark at them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332815 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:17:19 +0000 QueensBee 1332815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: We have the same message taped over the doorbell!</p> <p>Solicitors are the worst, especially during sleep times. We have a yappy dog so if the bell doesn't wake LO up, the barking dog surely does. I always wonder if they ever actually get any business or religious converts through door to door solicitation. It seems to mostly just annoy people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332814 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:17:19 +0000 LindsayInNY 1332814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quality control?! Can't they see who is a client and who isn't? How can you help them when you don't use their service?! Never mind them simply ignoring your sign... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332807 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:16:28 +0000 lemondrop 1332807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: I hear ya, I want to collect all their flyers and tape them to their doors after hours just to annoy them :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332791 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:14:34 +0000 jodyblair 1332791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear the only time anyone ever rings our doorbell is when DS is sleeping. I have resorted to taping a sign over the doorbell that says "Please do not ring doorbell. Baby is sleeping". It has worked so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332749 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:07:16 +0000 Ginabean3 1332749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh! so annoying! we luckily don't get solicitors BUT...we get a billion flyers on our door....like, "So-and-so Realty" or "Housecleaners" or "Termite Control". Geez, it's so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332278 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:27:14 +0000 lemondrop 1332278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: lol, what can I say, I was looking for a fight. It does feel nice to yell at a random person.... although I feel a tiny bit of guilt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332145 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:51:29 +0000 HLK208 1332145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughh, I hate when people ring my door bell during nap time!! Go away!! </p> <p>I laughed at what you said to him :) high five! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uggggh-solicitors#post-1332066 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:39:16 +0000 lemondrop 1332066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just unleashed pregnancy RAGE on a pair of Direct TV salesmen. Cam just fell asleep for his nap, and he has been a beast today, so I was very relieved to get him down, then DING DONG! We just got a new doorbell plate since we are fixing up the front of the house to make it look nicer, and just re-hooked the doorbell after a million years of having it off. </p> <p>We have a no soliciting sign next to the doorbell, so I asked them if they saw the sign, and got a "Yeah" (super impressed with their grasp of the English language) then I asked if they could read, and if they knew what soliciting meant and got a, "But we are quality control" and I explained that we have never and will never use their business... and by the end I was yelling and threatening to turn the hose on them if they didn't leave. </p> <p>I feel better getting some of that pent up rage out, I've had some doozies with my first pregnancy. I feel a little bad since they have a crappy job to do, but part of me wants an HOA to limit some of this door to door crap. Usually I tell people that we are renters to get them to leave us alone, but that only works with repairmen ;) </p>
