Default I'm getting really iritated with those guys who sell meat from trucks.

I'm about ready to put a sign on my front door. There are these guys who sell really crappy meat from their trucks. We made the mistake of buying in 1 time and 1 time only. Actually, that was my husband's choice. He admits his mistake. LOL.

Anyway, they acknowledge that they are ignoring our no solicitors sign.

I'm ready to put a sign on my front door.

We don't buy meat from trucks.

If you ring the bell which is next to the no solicitors sign

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

If they are ignoring your no solicitors sign after you have told them you may have some recourse, if they are representing a company. Depends on your area's laws.

I saw a sign on-line somewhere that I keep meaning to make.It said something to the affect of:No soliciting; We have a religion,we love our vaccum,we gave at the office,and my kid is selling the same crap you are.

I'm thinking you could add,our freezer is already stocked to that list

We get all kinds of sales people--windows & siding, new roof, new religion, new deck, meat, etc. I just don't open the door to anyone I don't know. Some of them will knock/ring the bell several times. They know we're home because my kids play computers in the dining room & can be seen from the front door if the curtains are open. Just because they knock doesn't mean that I am obligated to answer. Eventually they go away & I don't have to keep telling them that I am not interested.

Next time they knock, run at the door screaming like a crazy person, then give them a crazed look through the window, hold up a rubber chicken and a hair dryer and then turn around and ignore them. They probably won't be back.

My husband bought some once. Let's just say it was less than choice.

They've been by 3 times this week when 1 of us was home. We'll see what they do this weekend considering it is Easter.
