Baby sleeping please do not wake

I get so damn livid when anyone comes to my door. Like fuck right off. When they start their bit, I just look at them and say no thank you. They get confused and I just repeat myself untill they go away.

after you move... remove everything as if you never installed it

In my neighborhood it’s the start of door-to-door sales season; roofing, windows, tree trimming, pest control etc. I had someone knock just last week and I’ve had 3 in a week before.

It winds the dogs up, pulls me away from my work, and you have to tell them 3 times you aren’t interested in whatever they’re selling.

Oh I get it. I was thinking you work from home and it was walk in business. I was trying to connect the dots as to why there is knocking at the door.

There's that yellow plastic chain. Two posts in the ground and chain off access to the door, along with the sign. Or if you have railings to chain into. The only thing that will work is to take it away from them

No soliciting didn't have an effect. Neither did do not disturb.

Maintenance does infact know and so does building management and they get a complaint from me everytime it happens. I'm at a point where I feel like I have to just accept the knocks and find a solution to the noise

Let the things you order online be dropped off at a pick-up point. Put up a sign that you're not interesting in salesmen going door to door.

The maintenance folks should be known in advance? Either way maybe ask your building management to let you know beforehand when there's maintenance coming over so you can plan accordingly?

Electrify it?

Put a sign that says "knock on my door, what happens next will shock you".

Just wanted to thank everyone again for their help. With the drain removed I made quick work of the tub - smashed it to bits and didn’t damage anything I wasn’t supposed to.

You need to display your unhappiness that they ignored the signs.

My giant barking dog doesn't discourage them

Play a recording of a baby crying after they knock.. then answer the door in an irate rage.. that one wont knock again. Repeat as required.

It's a rental I am not allowed to modify permanently I need a temporary solution

This makes the water comments make more sense. If it wouldn't affect innocent bystanders I would be totally down

add a screen door with inch gap and keep it locked

then add a doorbell as extra layer

nobody can ever knock again cuz it would just be screen, they will be forced to use the doorbell, and screen would be locked so they can't open it and knock

They get ignored. The more signs the less they read. A big DO NOT DISTURB or DONT KNOCK didn't help

Dampen people… I was honestly thinking you meant a motion activated mister. It would discourage further knocking without totally ruining someone’s day!

I am going to try this. I need to find one that I can program a do not disturb response or something. I've never had so many knocks on my door

I wouldn't answer the door. I am active at work the whole shift and cannot answer the door in the middle of a call or meeting

I cannot answer the door while I'm working. And sometimes they will continue to bang a couple times.

Phone sales/internet sales/deliveries and most frequently maintenance people/apartment workers knocking even though they know I work from home.

Amazon and ups bang on the door

I'd get a battery operated doorbell that you command strip on and put it in the middle of the door, eye level. People will push the button instead of knock. You can control the volume of the base station inside
