Context: I have these Verizon solicitors that have been knocking on doors from 9 AM to 9 PM. According to my neighbors, if you tell them you’re not interested, they’ll leave. BUT they’ll continue to walk around the neighborhood and harass other neighbors that don’t have the courage to say no. They’re walking around well past dark. You can imagine my discomfort when two strangers approach my door as I’m winding down for bed. They’ve come up to multiple houses throughout and are bugging my poor old neighbors that don’t have the heart to tell them to fuck off. They’re walking in the middle of the street, walking through lawns, and making everyone uncomfortable.

Is there anything I can do to make them want to leave the neighborhood? A lot of my neighbors are old and don’t speak English as a first language, and I feel they need someone to stand up for them.
