I'm surprised by how many are intimidated by our attack dogs:

That is another good reason to move to the country.

I live in the country and about the only ones I see are the guys with just a bit of asphalt left over and they want to put it on my lane or the guys wanting to paint the steel roof on my shop.

Thankfully i haven't had any. I imagine with the unemployement being where it is, it's probably the only job they could find. Doesn't make up for bein a pain in the a** though!

I try to see just exactly how much of their time I can waste.

After a few minutes when they figure out you're just messing with them, they'll be tryin to find a way to move to the next house.

I don't know about that, it sounds kinda petefile'ish

Your right. How about "cookie solicitors welcome" or have some sort of "maximum height limits".

I can't not answer because they will stand there for like 10 minutes banging away if i don't. I can't believe these people had the nerve to say to my wife "why are you taking a nap....it's a nice day you should be out enjoying the weather."

If i was there i would have told them to mind their own*&%$#*& business..

I have found that going to the door with a pistol on my hip slows them down a little. Here in Mustang, they also have to have a permit and I always ask to see it. I have even been known to follow them to make sure the police can find them.

You know...you could just run them off with loud music.

Ahaha. I'm guessing that's a reference to my other thread I bet I could scare the religious people away with some loud rap or something.

I wonder if they have to have a permit in OKC. I bet they do. Thanks for that tip. I'm going to find out and start asking them for their permits. You harass me, I'll harass you.

EDIT: only thing i see is:

Solicitor’s License
Those soliciting tree-trimming or debris removal services door-to-door are required to hold a Solicitors License. Applicants must file an application, pass an Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) background check and pay a $30 fee before being issued a license.

I don't answer my door. If you want me to answer, you better have my cell phone number. Don't come over unannounced.
