In the past I would answer and say no thank you because I am such a polite person ?. But my "kindness" was seen as a means for them to continue talking. So now I peak through the blinds and say Im not home.

Don't answer the door! NOT HOME! Or say you don't understand English, you are from Siberia.

I just say to them in a rough and irritated voice, "whaddayou want"? This works for all undesirables haha. They usually respond "nothing" and walk away

I can think of all kinds of scenarios that are amusing to concider but ultimately I just say, “I’m not interested” ...at which point I feel like I’ve missed a great opportunity

I grill them until they run away crying.

Release the hounds.

I don't answer the door. If I am not expecting someone I'm not very likely to answer. No one that knows me is going to show up without letting me know. Those that might show up without notice have the code to the garage door. I get a lot of pest control people, realtors, replacement window people, kids selling school crap, magazine sales people, and Satellite TV sales people. I don't want to talk to them or buy their crap.

I usually say, "I am not interested," and close the door. Once when two young Bible thumpers asked if they could dome in, I just said, NO" and shut the door.

I had a male friend who answered his door in the buff. That took care of it.

Generally a polite turn down. If they start to get Aggresive then I return it at a lower level.

I attempt to be polite. It's up to them if I remain that way.

Just say no

I politely ask them to leave my property, and refuse any handouts.

Ask them what they’d like to drink vodka, gin, whiskey or scotch? That probably wouldn’t work with a Catholic as they do a lot of drinking.

Ah! So much hostility here. You should never be mean to dumb animals! I go out on the porch and talk to them. They got no shot at converting me and I love playing the part of big-hearted, duplicitous asshole, with the privilege and honor of poking holes in their fabled. If it all gets too tiresome with the Jehovahs, I can always ask them what their numbers are, because if they're not one of the 144,000 chosen ones, they're wasting their time and mine. I mean, really? The all powerful creates a heaven that accommodates fewer people than Portland?

In person I am Nice and Pleasant to everyone... Everyone.

When I lived in England I lived on a hill and could see them coming down the road so I made sure I opened the door to engage in some healthy debate. My wife would chastise me for being pedantic!

Just waiting for the day have the 12 gage all ready.

I'm usually polite, but also short and direct. Get off my lawn!!!!

I peek around the door and tell them I'm naked and it's not a good time. Lol.

Are they really trying to convert you? Or is it just that missionary work is something that their church requires and they really don't care if you convert or not? I tend to assume the latter and try not to be rude but to tell them thanks, but no thanks and to save their pamphlet or whatever for the next guy because I am really not going to read it and it will just go into the trash. I have never had anyone push it, at least not at my front door.

Answer the door in a Halloween Mask of Satan. That will fuck with their little brains.

You tell them anything that strikes you as funny...you are a Satanist, Buddhist, pagan, because the goal is to get rid of them plus you didn't invite them onto your porch. Toughen up!

I start out by telling them I'm a non-practicing Jew, then i tell them about how i studied world religions at the Jesuit run Loyola College in Montreal when i was about 20 (true), and i close by sharing my current Agnostic views on God and organized religions. The last one makes them almost run for the hills. I love to have fun with them. LLOL Especially on rainy days when i have nothing to do but play at home.
