I also hate solicitors, but until it stops working, I cant really blame them...

Similar situation is with phone solicitors. I know they are just doing a job but when I say "Thanks but I'm not interested." and they keep yammering ignoring what I've said, courtesy is abandoned and I give them piece of my mind.

It's the whole "non-profit" that sadly allows them to get around the wishes of most, and the laws of all. I don't get many at my door but my freaking phone rings off the hook. I literally haven't answered it until after 9 PM for 8+ years.
