Every spring brings rain and door-to-door salesman


Every spring, the beautiful weather always brings out the grass and plants. Unfortunately, spring also brings door-to-door nuisances armed with clipboards and booklets. I would put up a No Soliciting sign, but I know they ignore signs. Before my wife and I bought our home in 2005, we lived in several town homes. Unfortunately, door-to-door salesman constantly harassed us. Here are samples of what they tried to sell to us:

Meat
Religion
Electricity
Candy
Cookies
Books
Magazines
Vacuum cleaners
Carpet cleaning services

After becoming homeowners, my wife and I thought door-to-door salesman would leave us alone. I was wrong. They still show up at my front door trying to sell me products I don’t want or need. One of the more irritating ones is the guy who tried to switch my current electricity provider.

I told him I wasn’t interested. He kept insisting that I show him my latest bill. I am glad I refused because I had read an article that these shady people can change your utility bill without your consent. The article I read also stated that you never show anyone your utility bills.

And God bless the local churches, but I can find a church if necessary.
