This morning the doorbell rang. When I answered it there was a latprge gentleman.
Good morning madam, I'm Kevin and I'm a Jehovah's Witness. I pointed to the notice on the door. Did you not see this, it says no uninvited traders.
I'm not a trader he said.
You are selling your religion I said.
He replied I ask no money for my religion.
I told him you are peddling your religion and I'm not interested now please go away.
He did muttering under his breath. Why do we bother having a notice on the door to. Be ignored. Grrrrrr!

My aunt and uncle used to live just down the road from a JW centre (in Southend), where it was obvious that
(a) JW's from all over the country were coming together to be taught how to 'spread the word of God' ; and
(b) they were obviously being told "Don't wait until you get home. Start preaching the word of God right NOW!"
That meant that local residents were getting 4 or 5 groups of JWs on their doorsteps every day! Some very specific notices about what JWs could do with their copies of the Watchtower rapidly started to appear on on the doors of all the houses around there ;-)

To be fair though, many people who knock on doors are often under instructions to ignore signs saying "No cold callers", etc.
When I've lead teams (in Didcot) of people knocking on doors between 6pm and 9pm (just as people are preparing or eating their evening meals, watching Corrie or putting the kids to bed) in order to carry out travel surveys, I've always made it extremely clear to them that they should ignore any such signs (because our client wanted the maximum response to the survey).
The word "off" seemed to feature quite a lot in residents' responses ;-)

Many years ago I was enjoying my well deserved Saturday sleep in(and as a light sleeper) i was woken up by the nearby doors being knocked! This was 8.30 !! Looked out the window to see besuited men with leaflets, systematically trying to gain attention. Our windows and blinds were closed and i thought,"surely they won't knock on the door of an obviously asleep household"! Wrong!!! They did LOUDLY!! I charged down the stairs in my pajamas flung open the door,and they had the nerve to smile and say "oh were you asleep"?? I said in my best "clipped" voice, "yes i was like everyone else" and completely slammed the door in their faces! It felt good:-)
