Solicitors!!!

Post by Shannon SteelSlave »

This is not a post about politics, I know better than that. But is there a legal way to keep people from canvasing my house to peddle propaganda? And anyone in general? I hear it will get worse before it gets better. It is interfering with my kink time, which is in short supply. And I don't have that robe made yet, the stuff I bought was a dud. Still in progress.
At this time, I am employing the "Shrek" method.

Whatever is takes to get them to stay Far, Far Away.....from me! Maybe a sign with 3 ogres? What are you doing to ward off visitors?

I got a small sign, I think from Amazon, that says:
NO
SOLICITING
FUNDRAISING
POLITICS
SALESMEN
RELIGION
ThankYou
Also, a "No Trespassing" sign makes it a crime to enter your property without permission. I once had a job doing insurance inspections that required close approach to houses, and in fact that permission was(is) granted when you apply for homeowners insurance, but if the property was posted, I had to call the homeowner and ask for permission.

And of course, I never answer the door for these type of people!

In the UK "No trespassing" signs may deter people from entering land but have no value in law.

For "trespass" to have any result, the land owner must take a civil action in court, and prove the trespasser caused damage, for which, if proved, the trespasser must pay. Simply being on the land is not actionable but the landowner can use "reasonable force" to remove the trespasser.

You can put up any sign you like, to indicate you won't be answering the door to whoever you like, but whether they take any notice of your wishes is for them to decide.

In the Middle Ages you could have a sign with "Lepers living here!" to keep people away. Maybe this also helps now.

I got to use whatever works. I was hoping to use the Shrek signs. They define me. Ogres are like onions. I am like a onion. I have many layers, and not everyone likes me.

I have a sign on my door, "Pas de colporteurs", which is "No sales people". One got the smart-ass bug after I pointed at the sign, and he said "I'm not a salesman, I'm a publicity agent." :roll:

I gave him the stink-eye and slammed the door in his face. :evil:

The sign is still there but I don't think it has much effect.

The Jehovah's Witnesses were permanently exiled from my doorstep after I greeted them in a bloody apron, a butcher knife, and a sweet attitude (I really was cutting up some raw meat when the doorbell rang). I suppose it didn't (or maybe it did :wink: ) help that I had some particularly violent heavy metal music playing. Very inspiring when cutting up meat.

Or a recording of one that reacts to doorbells or door knocks. You could even call the dog "Ogre". :idea:

Or maybe a recording of a pump-action shotgun being pumped... :mrgreen:

On the other hand, that may attract more visitors like the ATF and SWAT. :shock:

I'd rather have a dog - virtual or real - called Ogre.

Just make sure it isn't a rumor. :shock:
In Belgium there was once a girl who by mistake had invited everyone to her birthday party via Facebook.
The police then had to block access to the village because the village could not handle so many visitors. :lol:

Yeah, no, really trying to repel people from my house in general.

Depending on where you live, there _are_ laws against nudity in private spaces. And, of course, answering the door naked would count as public (and pubic!) exposure. Deliberately letting yourself be seen naked through a window may also count as public exposure.

Just using no trespassing, no sales signs, have worked for many years, except one group of people. I have never been able to stop a certain church from knocking. I use Ring doorbell now, and they still come.

Hate to admit it, but the Corona virus is helping with unauthorized visitors (which covers pretty much all visitors). If I had 25 people in my house, then that would make even knocking on my door illegal. (Governor advises no group gatherings any larger than 25 here)
