sales people coming to your door

[kimpossible]

I don't mind kids coming for school fundraisers, but if I get one more salesperson ringing my doorbell should I

a. Answer the door with my sawed off baseball bat?

b. Answer the door naked covered in blood?

c. Answer the door with my 8 ft bullwhip, cracking it with a maniacal snarl?

d. Slam the door in his face (it's always a guy)?

e. other suggestion

[applehead]

i say naked. period.
my friend used to do that to jehovah's witnessess.
she says it works.

[kimpossible]

I shut the door on the last one. He started his sales pitch and I simply said "I'm going." Then I shut the door.

[nonamerasian]

I just scream that I don't want any.

[applehead]

i turn off the tv and hide behind the door.

[ChinaLama]

no, don't come naked. If i were the salesman, that'd just make me more persistent. i'd even try the "can i use your phone" or "can i use your bathroom" trick if a hot naked lady was standing behind the door.

I don't usually get sales calls at my door, but occasionally I get the religious person. Usually, i'd say it's safest to just not answer the door cuz sometimes "salespeople" might be robbers in disguise.

is that from whom you received the toothless b-- never mind.

[rice cracker]

I just don't answer the door. I'm a sucker, I just feel bad for door to door sales people or donation people and I always end up buying a stupid magazine or writing a check to some sketchy foundation.

A "No Solicitors" sign.

When I used to have to raise money for soccer or school or whatever, I diligently passed all those by.

And if some commercial salesperson ignores it, you can unleash your righteous fury, knowing that they have been forewarned.

But I guess maybe you'd want to add some sort of proviso stating that little kids raising money for their soccer teams are perfectly welcome to knock.

e. ask them politely to wait while you change. watch some t.v. go back and tell them you're almost ready. cook dinner. go back and tell them you'll be right there. take a shower. etc.

Hold a headless bloody unplucked chicken by one hand. Hold a bloody cleaver in the other hand.

Say "Damnit.. you stopped me when I was about to get to the Hog." Then do those weird ass pig calls. SQQUUUIIII!!

I think I'd want to get out REALLY quick.

[AngryABCGirl]

I wasn't aware people still sold stuff door to door, isn't that considered a bit unsafe now not to mention a bit invading?

i was gonna say the same thing. people spam email these days instead, i thought.

i do get the Jehovah's Witness people occasionally. i just tell them i already have a religion and politely (but probably tersely, too) say "thanks anyway", and shut the door.

[ellsworth81]

e. cast disintegrate and hope they don't get a successful saving roll
e. bloody chainsaw

[>:^|]

I like to say, "I'm sorry, but I don't speak English." :happy:

[Emperor_Mike]

I just tell them I'm not interested. They're usually nice enough to take the hint. :happy:

it wouldn't work for a hot naked lady. therefore it would work for me.

[Faithless]

i turn off the tv and hide behind the door.

Scaredy :rolleyes:

[Faithless]

I love sales people to come to the door, because I love to give them a hard time.

Most are full of shit with their stupid driveway-grease cleaning products or their bullshit solicitations for the "Americana Cancer Council" (or some other tricky name).

They need to be argued with and put in their place. But you should still buy their cookies.

[teaz0r]

i've never seen a salesman at my door.
i only get those people that call me.
but that was only in england.

doesn't happen in thailand.

[Tao]

the only time people solicited me at the door was when two jehovah's witnesses tried to get me to join. I humored them, and then debated with them over the concept of original sin for like 30 minutes. afterwards they gave up.
