In today's Dear Annie column, solicitors keep knocking on a reader's door even after they put up signs and it's driving them nuts. Annie Lane has some advice on what they can do.
Annie Lane advises a new resident to speak to their neighbors about how they deal with solicitors. What would you do?
However, if I ignore them, they often come back later! It’s like they don’t understand -- or care -- that they’re not welcome. It’s becoming more than just a nuisance; it’s genuinely unsettling. There’s something about strangers knocking on your door uninvited that makes you feel unsafe in your own home. These solicitors are even worse than junk mail or email spammers because, unlike an unwanted message in my inbox, they’re physically intruding on my personal space. I don’t think these people realize just how intrusive and inappropriate their actions feel.
