Ask for or try to obtain (something) from someone.
I have a sign similar to this on my front door. When we first moved into our home last year we were overwhelmed with solicitors. It drove me NUTS! So, I put this sign on our front door. I think it has helped some, but for some reason, certain people think they don't apply to this request. The typical offenders are children and religious solicitors. I've had one of each this past week. I'll let the young kids slide. They probably don't know what soliciting means, and I've been known to buy a candy bar or two. The people that show up on my doorstep with bibles, however, ought to know better. If you can read the bible, you can read my sign. I even had one lady who was prepared for me to point out my No Soliciting sign. She had her bible open to a page where there is apparently some verse that describes how they are not solicitors because they are not trying to sell me anything. No, you are not trying to solicit my money, but you are soliciting my time and trying to sell me on your religion. GO AWAY! I hate to be rude, but c'mon. The sign was your warning. Maybe I will start to keep Darwin's Origin of Species at my door and preach to them about my beliefs.

I need one of those signs and I haven't been able to find one anywhere! We get at least one Kirby salesman a week! SO annoying!
I got mine at Lowes or Home Depot. They're by the address and mailbox signs.
LMAO, that is why I love you!!! You get 'em girl!!!
yep, we get the vaccum salespeople at least once a week...aggravating
I just don't answer the door. Although, this hasn't been too much of an issue in my seven years of living on military bases, ha. The random people aren't allowed in, anyway. In all seriousness, though, I don't open the door to people I don't recognize or weren't expecting (small children are an exception). Especially that wack job that hammered on our door at 0300 a few years ago.
