Oh ,and those no solicitor stickers in the front door- means nothing to them either - they just ignore..since they're just spreading their message, unless of course one would like to donate. So I when they keep ignoring those signs, I just call the police.

So cut to an hour later around 7:30 I'm eating dinner in my basement/rec room/bar watchin Survivior. I hear this loud pounding on my door. I know it's these people, if it was anyone else they'd call my cell. So I sat wondering if I should get up and answer the door. A second knock came. So I got up out of my chair, went behind the bar to the fridge, grabbed a beer and sat back down. I had literally no desire to talk to whomever was out there.

Believe it or not, I am bothered by Mormons more here in Japan than I have ever been back home. Either them, or the Jehovahs (I can't tell the difference). Telling them "I don't speak Japanese" has no effect either. They just switch to English (the "can't speak Japanese" think works with most other pests).

Originally Posted By mele Jogging is exhausting. You probably used up all of that energy getting that beer. ;-) Bad thing about our house, once someone gets to the front door, it's pretty easy to see that we're there. If I had a basement to hide in when someone knocked on my door, I would! LOL

Over the summer I had my front door open and two well kind of hot Jehova Witnesses female approached the door. I talked to them for a little bit, but I had just seen one of those videos where the mailman was visting the lonely housewife..... The movies lie sometimes.
