Door-to-door sales visits have long frustrated people who work from home, and a no-soliciting sign is often their first line of defense. However, one homeowner claims that defense has failed them. As the visits kept coming, they say they started leaving a one-star Yelp review for any company whose representative ignores the sign, according to a post on Reddit, by u/bunsenburneracct in r/pettyrevenge. The poster says they share the home with a partner and a dog. As the dog reportedly barks at every doorbell ring, each visit apparently breaks their focus during the workday. They claim the no-solicitation sign is clearly posted by the front door, yet salespeople still allegedly walk across their grass to reach it. According to the homeowner, they throw away any flyers and business cards left behind. However, the homeowner says that whenever someone steps onto the property despite the warning, they post a review describing the visit. The poster claims they don’t exaggerate their review, noting only that the representative crossed the lawn and appeared to ignore the no-solicitation sign. This homeowner apparently thinks a bad Yelp review hurts more than a slammed door Other users in the thread appeared to share the frustration. One commenter claimed a junk hauling company left flyers on their doorstep despite both a no-solicitation sign and a separate sign telling visitors to go away. That kind of disregard is reportedly what pushed the original poster to start writing reviews. Tired of people ignoring my No Soliciting sign, so I started leaving one-star Yelp reviews byu/bunsenburneracct inpettyrevenge Another commenter described a tense exchange with a salesperson who allegedly ignored their no-solicitation sign. They said they quietly asked the visitor whether they knew what the sign meant, as their mother was reportedly in hospice care just inside the front door. The account suggests some homeowners may have deeply personal reasons for wanting to be left alone. Moving away may not solve the problem either. One user said they relocated to a farm in another state and no longer get visitors at the door. However, they claim the pressure has simply shifted to texts and unwanted sales calls, which they say still arrive in large numbers. Some homeowners have reportedly tried to be as specific as possible. One commenter said their no-soliciting sign lists everything they do not want bothering them, although determined salespeople may still knock regardless. The original poster claims the one-star reviews feel like the first response that businesses might actually notice. The homeowner says they plan to keep reviewing every company whose representative crosses the lawn, and suggests firms that want to protect their ratings should train staff to read a no-soliciting sign before knocking.
