Ohio City is Obvious, Then Redundant

Watercooler - WFMY News 2 City Proposes "Do-Not-Knock" Registry:
Parma, OH -- The City of Parma has created a unique twist on the popular 'Do-Not-Call List.'

It's the first city in the US to propose a 'Do-Not-Knock' registry.

Salespeople who come uninvited to a home with the 'Do Not Knock' sticker in the window could get a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.
How nice. Register yourself on some list so maybe, maybe no one will knock on your door.

Fuck that. What part of Get Off My Lawn is difficult to shout out your peephole? A couple Prowler calls and the idea that people have the right to be left alone may even - I don't know - sink in. Yes, we should open the door and see who's calling and why, but we seem to forget that bothering other people for our own purposes is quite inappropriate. Do you live here? Are you reporting a fire, gas leak or selling cookies? No? Then please, kindly, piss off and leave other people in peace.

The people who tell them anything more than Piss Off are merely enablers. They suck.
