How do you answer the door to a bible thumper trying to convert you? Me sometimes depending on my mood I am polite and sometimes not so polite.
I politely ask them to leave my property, and refuse any handouts.
I do the same
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 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
Don't answer the door! NOT HOME! Or say you don't understand English, you are from Siberia.
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.
