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.
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?
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.
