    What sign?

    I walked up to a house on my list and rang the doorbell. A woman comes running and screams at me "you rang the doorbell and woke my infant son. Now he's crying! What am I supposed to do? Didn't you see the sign?" I respond "what sign?" She turns the open outside door around to show a sign that says "deliverymen, please leave packages at the front door and don't ring the doorbell. I have an infant son." I think to myself "how the hell am I supposed to see a sign on the other side of a closed door? Am I supposed to have x-ray vision?" She says "what are you selling?" I start my pitch and she says "no, go away and get the hell off of my property." I leave and go on.
    But how the hell am I supposed to see a sign on the other side of a wooden door that's facing away from me?

    You should have told her that.

      I'm sure if he said that she would've went on some dumb rant about how the sign is clearly visible and he's too dumb to notice. So if she orders a pizza or chinese or whatever she just wants the person to leave it by the door?

        I had a lady do that once when I was trying to deliver a parcel. She called me a idiot when I said I didn't see a sign. But then when she couldn't point out the sign or show it to me I got called a ass and she stalked away.

          Guh. It's bad enough the Suck doesn't read signs themselves, but now they expect US to read signs we can't possibly even see?!

            I thought of saying something like that but figured since she was already pissed I shouldn't say anything more to her and just walk (cause I was afraid she woulda called the cops on me if I hadn't left right then.

              I'm sure if someone had told her to read a sign she'd pitch a fit.

                o.O if a doorbell is waking up your "infant" (unsure what age here) you either need to get a quieter doorbell, or get your child used to noises that wake them up. Just my $0.02c......

                  I can understand newborns and small toddlers being unused to a doorbell and making them cranky. But yea 3-5 year olds should be able to sleep through that...

                    How about stop screaming and go comfort him?

                    Yeah, I know... makes too much sense.

                      "you (fill in the blank) and woke my infant son. Now he's crying! What am I supposed to do?" I think she's a person who will bring up her kid for everything, for ex, "your music at this art show is too loud it woke up my baby, now what am I to do?" I Imagine that no one calls her house becaus of the baby. Oh well, I guess she can go online...oh no, the clacking of the keyboard woke up the baby (wven though she is online for the past hour at it's baby dinner time), it's your fault for updating on facebook and making me having to respond to you!

                      Ok, I might be carrying it on too much, but I think this mom is overwound.

                        My doorbell made my dogs go nuts, so when my dog got surgery we took the doorbell down and put up a no soliciter's sign on the mailbox right by the door. It worked beautifully on everyone but the most persistant church people... for some reason we never put the doorbell back up!

                          Agreed. My daughters only woke up screaming from the doorbell when they were the newest of newborns (they were used to it by three months), or when the delivery person would be annoying and ring it five times in quick succession. Yeah, I heard you the first time, FedEx Dude. You didn't have to jiggle the button like that.

                          Regardless, can't read a sign on the wrong side of the door, and how's the sign telling delivery folks to leave the package rather than ringing the doorbell supposed to automatically apply to salespeople? That's what a No Soliciting sign is for.

                            Well you know, your supposed to have X-ray vision (ignore the fact that this would cause you to see through the sign, not actually see the sign), know everything (like the fact that the doorbell will wake a child you had no way of knowing even existed), and if those fail..I guess they wanted you to go rock the child to sleep?
