Ok I sure everyone gets people knoking on their door trying to sell stuff or give you a piece of paper saying the wrold is going to end. How do you deal with them? I told the last guy that I had to time to talk because and angry mob of lamas where going to invade my house and I needed to prepare. He looked at me like I was crazy but he aint coming back.

Not many people come walking through the neighborhood doing that. But when people do that then I'll either ignore it then the person will leave, or I'll answer the door then tell them to leave.

I just looked out of a window to see who the person is. If he's unwanted I'll just ignore him. Or throw waterballons at the person from the window....

My front door has a window in it, so if any one who looks like an annoyance (ie. anyone with a clipboard) ring s the bell I just don't answer. Sometimes they see me and ring twice, but I still don't answer the door. They eventually get the hint.

I don't open the door. I know people are there by looking through a door peephole (you know that lens?) or inconspicuously peering through an ignored window.

Or throw waterballons at the person from the window....


That is crude.

Not opening it is even better.

Trust me, it is.

Being only 15 and not owning a house, i do nothing. But my parents rule is just not to answer the door. And if someone does (because people are stupid) we just tell them to go away. For the most part its people from religions asking for charity for things of their religion i don't care about.

Lucky for me I never get those people so I don't do a thing. I get phone calls that is about it. If I did see those annoying people I will just ignore them. And if they refuse to leave I'll call the cops.

Use an electronic trap to electrocute them when they step outside my door step. Seriously.

Okay that is kinda going way to far. But just ignoring will do just fine. Not trying to kill.

That doesn't happen in my country Sweden. Pretty rare to get visitors.

Well I dont see how these people banging on doors get aything except for electric shocks or waterbaloons, I personally dont mistreat them, just ignore them.

If this is for my post, no it doesn't kill. It'll just stun them a bit. It's perfectly legal too.

Okay I guess that's one way of getting rid of them. And I think it was.
