I’ve been dealing with a particular breed of salespeople lately–Class D: Door to Door Solicitors. In America, they waltz right up to your door, knock loudly and ring doorbells. Their actions promptly wake up sleeping babies as they ignore posted warning signs and they release the hounds of doom to begin barking. They sell everything from politics, religion (I say this as a Christian) to tree cutting services. I understand people need to work, and we treat them with decency and polite firmness, but I don’t find this practice a good business model or even very polite.
The Saint and I recently bought two new No Solicitors signs from Etsy, as our old sign broke. We are putting these up in hopes to deter stealthy agents of capitalism. I’m also considering a moat with alligators and some zombie signs.
One day, though, I may just enact the following plan, as enacted in the beautiful video below. Who’s with me?
Now I know how Scrooge felt.
Totally. Instead of Marley in chains, we get a gargoyle in pants.
You could do the bush camouflage thing, too!
Love this one for sure! Electrified steps perhaps? ππ
Genius.
