  • If I like the stuff he is selling then I would buy it or if the stuff does not appeal to me then I would throw that guy out.
  • I would ask him not to call again. If he called again I would ask him not to call again. After several times of doing that, I'd stop answering the door and turn the sprinklers on whenever he ventured up my drive.
  • answer the door naked :D It would either get rid of them or they tell all their friends,
  • Pepper-spray.
  • Tell him to pack sand, as it were. And if he persists, tell him in very clear terms he is not welcome and if he returns you'll consider it trespassing and call the police. I've no patience for rude people.
  • Reach out as if to shake his hand.When he goes for your hand slam his in the door!
  • Pretend you hear the phone ringing
  • Bucket of water from upstairs window.
  • Shut the door in his face dur!!
  • Act like you are totally crazy as in mentally ill and go off on a tangent about some odd story loosely related to what he is selling and keep after him about your story until he decides to leave. If you waste enough of his time without buying anything he may just stop.
  • It depends on what the salesman is selling, but for purchases that might require payments, just tell the salesman that you are unemployed. The last I knew, a person couldn't get financing if they were unemployed.
  • Since I don't invite them in, politely tell them I am not interested, then close and lock the door.
  • I rack the slide on my Mossberg a couple of times near the door. I'm sure the sound is enough to make him move on.
  • put a little note on ur door that says i've gone on vacation. no one is home. or obvious could be if ur trying to sell something go away. then if they knock just ignore it!
  • 1. Put on a pair of very dark sunglasses 2. Answer the door 3. Feign extreme interest in their product 4. Ask for information in braille 5. Ask to feel his face. Your salesman will vanish and never come back. 100% guarantee.
  • Poke your head out and look around, ask "Is any one else with you? Does any one else know your here? We can't have any witnesses..." while you grab their sleave and try to pull them in. They run away...fast. Alos got rid of them by trying to sell them stuff. I've tried to sell them my magazines, boxes of cookies out of the kitchen, canned veggies, anything stupid like that, or even an old car I had in the driveway. Then I acted all offended when they aren't interested. Usually they get agravated and leave. Also, when I was a teenager my step dad once answered the door in a bath towel when some obnoxious church people rang and rang the bell. Acted real excited and begged them to come in. Said he wanted to show them something. They ran away and got in their car. I about peed myself laughing, because we knew who was at the door (it was the Witnesses) and they wouldn't stop ringing the bell. He was wearing shorts but he grabbed a towel out of the bathroom and wrapped it around his waist so it looked like that was all he was wearing. Too funny. The didn't even finish their neighborhood canvas. That would probably be effective with salesmen, too.
