I only wish that I knew about the 'good works' thing sooner, I didn't actually get to take advantage of it, friends of ours did.
In most cases, my two dogs barking their heads off when anybody knocks on the door makes canvassers/solicitors leave before I can get to the door anyway.

Talking about the chest-thumping mentioned above.....here is a perfect example.
I wonder if you reply the same way to the girl scout members that come to your door and try to tell you cookies. Maybe the Red Cross when they do door-to-door campaigns during desperate times, or any other volunteer organization that is trying to raise money.
Learn some respect and just say you're not interested. Unless of course you LIKE ruining someones day by being a prick.
