I'm a sensitive guy

Just a few moments ago I was standing outside by the front door catching some rays when this about 10 yr old girl comes waltzing down the street handing out leaflets about her Baptist church in the hood. She handed one to me and I said "thank you" without thought for one second about grabing the rifle just inside the door.

I'm not so laid back. The last time a few men with a Bible approached my door, I was mowing the grass. "That's what I ought to be doing," he said jovially.
"Well, get on home and do it, then. I don't want to hear what you have to say."
I continued with the job, and he disappeared.
The next week, these same people, via their church, set up an apartment where I work. That way, the missionaries had a place to stay while in training. I looked up the stairs and recognized the man.
They all looked at me. I looked at them. We went about our business, but never ever conversed about anything.

I have a sign on my front door saying "No solicitors". That includes not only Avon ladies and vacuum cleaner salesmen, but proselytizers hawking their wares. If I see them walking down the street, I call the security patrol, and they get the people to leave the area. It is pretty well known that door to door sales people of any kind are not welcome in my area!

A truly sensitive man would have offered to relieve the poor little girl of her burden of heavy leaflets (and burned them when she was gone).

We don't get many door-to-door types out here. Sort of a pity, really; The Puppies find 'em so entertaining.

So I find out what he's been doing by reading about it on a2k? What will the neighbors think? Personally, I would only go for the gun if they were over 18.

I realize that this is supposed to be humorous to you and some others, dys, but was it so hard to just take the pamphlet, say thank you, and let that be the end of it?

For those that do not want these kind of solicitations, I say follow Phoenix's example. She has made it very clear what she will allow on her property. If someone disregards that, then they are trespassing.

But dys, I truly am proud of you for merely telling the little one thank you and letting it go.

perhaps you could have him tagged with some sort of tracking device, like they use to track the movements of wild animals

Lash,

Can I have banana pudding? I like fig newtons but don't care much for fig pudding.

Hey, I'd settle for chocolate!
