'tis the season. We've had more people than normal coming by the past couple months, and a huge uptick the past couple of weeks. Political educators, realtors, gutter cleaning, lawn services, window replacement, essential oil infused soap... you name it, they've been here.
When my son was born last year I put up a sign above the doorbell that said "No Soliciting, Do Not Ring Doorbell, Do Not Knock on Door." I can't tell you how many times I watched (on video) someone stop, read the sign, and then ring the doorbell or knock loudly anyway, setting the dogs off barking, waking the baby, etc.
Funny enough, one of the recent ones was a Vivint salesman who caught me putting the mower away in the garage. I had just gotten a warranty replacement wifi bridge for one of our Vivint security cameras in the mail and I asked if he could pair it with our monitor/screen. He was nice enough to take the 15 minutes to do so and be on his way.
