Is it just me....

having solicitors constantly ignore the "NO SOLICITING" sign?? Honestly! So here I was, folding the laundry and enjoying what little time of peace and quiet I could while the boys napped and I hear a knock on the door. Earlier today a friend had stopped by to say hello so I wasn't nervous about answering the knock. I open the door to find two strangers with a fist full of fliers. He asks me if my parents are home... I chuckle and tell him that I am a parent (I guess I look like a teenager without a shower and make-up). He then hands me a flier and proceeds with his little presentation about how he'll clean a part of my carpet for free. I tell him I'm not interested and he says, "of course you're not, otherwise you would've called us already." He tries again to get me to let him in to clean a small portion of my hallway. I'm thinking.... why would I let two strange slightly sketchy looking men into my house while I'm home alone with a couple of sleeping babies. Not gonna happen. So I tell him no thank you and he snatches the flier out of my hand, tells me to have a nice day (although it didn't sound the slightest bit sincere) and storms off in a huff. I close the door and decide to put a NO SOLICITING sign up so I don't have to deal with these rude and pushy people anymore. I print off a sign and head to the front door to post it, only to find that there's already one right by the doorbell!!!! All this time, all those lame-os have been knocking on my door and completely ignoring the sign. How RUDE. So I put up my newly printed sign right at prime knocking level. Now there's no excuse. I will simply point to the sign and close the door.
