My doorbell on my rent house quit working and I was seriously considering wiring up a car horn to the button instead. I wonder how many heart attacks that would cause...

lol I had to giggle at this. I've 'honked' myself when working on my bike and the gear switch. It would be funny watching an unsuspecting person do that to themselves


There's some funny ideas in this thread; might have to try them.

To the person that doesnt like solicitors, we have had some success with putting up a no solicitor sign. My wife and I fought about that, but everytime I sat down for dinner, the doorbell would ring and my wife would not answer the door (I didnt want her to answer either, but she wanted me to or for us to hide in our own house) so I just bought it and put it up.

when I am outside, I OC and for some reason the solicitors dont want to talk to me

lol Yeah, I thought of OC but I'd rather not let me neighbors know there's any fireams in the house. Especially that a neighbor to our immediate right isn't a citizen of the most upstanding way.


i do need to get some 'No soliciting' signs (some nice ones, or lowprofile so they aren't ugly). In the summer time it is non stop door bell ringing. And you hit it on the head, right around supper time too. After work/after school when they guess people would be getting home.

People are in and out of the neighborhood all the time. Many of them stop at our door (I hate solicitors!). Whether they know it or not, every person is met with caution and a .45
