Some of you have seen this sign before here. But it got pretty worn out, so it was time to print a new one. And this time I added a little bit more. Because I don’t just write comedy. I like to live it.
No Solicitors. No exceptions.
We do not buy anything door-to-door.
Don’t take it personally.
It is just a policy set by management (um, that is ME)
Oh and we are good in the religion department too.
So basically, don’t knock on this door unless you know us already.
Or be prepared to be lectured and/or asked to babysit while I go out for cocktails.
Depending on my mood.

I LOVE that sign!! I’m going to need to print it. You need to add something about ringing the bell though too. I HATE when people ring the bell when my baby is sleeping!!! Makes me sooo mad!
OMG! I am so putting this on my door!!! specially for the mormons and the jehovah witnesses…
Hahahaaaaa! You really crack me up! What a great sign…it pretty much covers everything and threatening to make them babysit so you can go get a drink…priceless!
Don’t you get any of the people who come around and want you to sign petitions? I get lots of those.
<3 that is all
I am so stealing your idea. Except I’m putting mine on the entrance to my front porch. Laminated and bronzed perhaps…
Do they laminate bronze?
I love it and need it for my front door too.
Marcy – add them to our Cancer Sucks store! I bet they’d fly off the (virtual) shelf!!! :)
I’d buy one!
Marcy, you are classic! I absolutely love your sign, that is awesome.
Love the new and improved sign!
Nothing more need be said!
To Tech4Mommies: We had a dog with a bad leg who loved to run to the front door when the doorbell rang. To prevent him from jumping up and running, we disconnected the doorbell. Worked like a charm since I pretty much knew when someone was expected over and didn’t care about anyone else. Just a thought.
This even outdoes the last sign! I particularly like the cocktail mention. Keep a martini glass full of water in the foyer for when you answer the door. The startled expressions at 9:00 a.m. would be PRICELESS.
Eagerly awaiting the next “peace and love” letter you receive…
They can’t say they haven’t been warned.
Love the sign! That ought to make them think twice…
OMG! I LOVE this. Had a round with the Jehovah’s Witnesses yesterday. Had to finally had to run one down in the street. Not run OVER, but prove my point!
Ima so going to place this on my door…………TODAY !
I found you through The Peterson Family blog.
I hate door to door salesman like everyone else. However, I think this sign is not only over the top but downright rude.
Look, I get it, we don’t want to be bothered. But for some people, door to door sales is STILL how they make their living. Would you have had this sign up in the 50′s when that was one of the primary methods for salesmen to homes? I doubt it. Also – have you ever been there? As someone who DID door to door sales at one point, I know the hell that it is to do it. You’re faced with rude people, awful attitudes and a smile is as hard to come by as ice in hell. However, those doing the door to door sales are usually polite and don’t deserve the rude treatment.
As for the religion side, I don’t want to get preached to either (I am agnostic) but a simple, “no thank you, I am not interested” spreads a lot more happiness than a snarky smart-ass sign. And, politeness is good no matter your religion.
I do agree with the removal of the doorbell for babies or dogs – that is a smart move if need be (I have also seen a sign that says “baby sleeping, please do not ring bell” for nap times). But the sign, really? It isn’t funny & it just makes you seem mean. In fact, if I saw it, I might ring the doorbell & knock incessantly until you answered just to be as snarky back.
