do you not see my doormat?
Hi, solicitor. No, I don't care what your selling, or if your church is recruiting members. I don't care if you're selling magazines and trying to score as many "points" as you can so you can get that great trip to Hawaii. I don't care that you're a poor college student. If you're poor, drop out and get a job.
Yes, I have dogs. See? I bring them with me to the door. Yes, they're growling at you. That's usually what dogs do when strangers approach their territory. Yes, they can bite, and most likely will if you step one inch closer to me.
By the way, did you see my doormat? It says, in bold letters, GO AWAY. It's not there because we think it's funny. It's there because, guess what, I'd like you to stop sticking pamphlets in my door jam, ringing my doorbell and GO AWAY, ASSHOLE.
