“You’re absolutely right. I think a lot of the people on this thread don’t get the door to door salesmen in their neighborhoods. They don’t realize what a nuisance they are.”
I do get it and am more than willing to absorb some annoyances. I simply don’t answer my door and my friends know to come to the side door, so I find the sales people as easy to ignore as a ringing phone.
I just had a water heater installed and the company called as a follow up. Evidently my city requires an inspection and I have to be present. Luckily their hours are limited to M-F from 9-4. Well, that means that I will have to take a day off from work for a stupid water heater inspection!
I have a friend that heard me talking about this and she told me that her city required her to pay $60 to have a garbage disposal inspected.....
The fact of the matter is that government is taking all of these ordinances to the extreme. I’d gladly accept the “nuissance” of solicitors, for ridding my life of the petty tyrants in local government.
Besides, Buford the Coonhound starts barking and they move along rather quickly.
They can only demand to inspect something they know about. Who the hell would tell them they replaced their disposal?
