My wife bought a welcome mat that says "please leave" in cursive. Highly recommend.

I had one in college that said go away. Someone stole it

We need the community to get back to these.

I got told to shut up last time I said this. "people can think what they want in the shower."

This com has turned into a "Just post" thing. They spirit is lost. Perhaps we need a "RealShowerThoughts" com.

Mine says GO AWAY. It's a door mat, not a welcome mat.

Mine is a hillbilly frog with a rifle and says "Hippity hoppity, get off my property"

That's why mine has an asterisk and fine print on the bottom that says "*not supernaturally binding for blood suckers"

That would keep them away if they could read. (not the vampires)

On top of that, nobody defined where the vampire is capable of entering… or permitted to enter. Either way, the location wasn’t explicitly defined so who knows which place we’re talking about. Could I give the vampire the permission to enter your house? Would that still be valid? How does this even work?

If you have an entrance hall, and you say "you can get in the hall", can the vampire go past the hall?

And what if the house's entrance is itself in a covered enclosed porch, where is the real "entrance"?

Is the house defined solely by walls? Any kind of wall?

I love my go away door mat. It sometime even gets the local religious cult to leave without knocking.

Wasn’t there a serial killer that said an unlocked door meant he was invited to go inside? That’s why I’ve never used a doormat that has “Welcome” on it. Hopefully that applies to vampires too.

I like how they caught that guy, he got found in the streets.

Not to take this too literally but.... According to pagan and wiccan practices, the welcome mat gives permission to all potentially negative spirits to enter

i love those negative spirits. brew them with lemon balm, rosemary, and lavender and they become delightful spirits.

It's one of those Chinese mass photoashop jobs. Like when they Photoshop ear buds in somewhere ears and it looks like they just copy and pastes it.

I think it's great that it's a pre-door mat.

Is that so you can wipe your feet on it and get it dirty and leave the actual door mat pristine?

So a neck tattoo that says, "My body is a temple. Vampires not welcome in the sanctity of this temple" would do the trick?

HOW ABOUT AN ASS TATTOO THATS REAL BIG

Depending on the jurisdiction, soliciting often requires a permit and conditions of the permit include obeying no soliciting signs. Failure to obey typically means the permit can be revoked, or it could be a criminal offense. Could be worth looking into that for your area.

is it a specific local code violation or a state thing? because it can't possibly be a federal violation, i am certain it ain't a federal permit.

when i search for [my town] + [solicitation] i get a bunch of pages on how to make a bid on projects with the town. but i have the high.

Take it literally.

Ward your house. Cleanse it. Gate keep your gates.

It has indeed started to become a posting dump, with more politics leaning in.

Try looking up "peddlers permit" aka hawking, canvassing, and soliciting. I have seen it be any or a combination of the terms when codified.
