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.

I would politely tell them to leave.

In real life, I would listen to their product and think about buying it.

What I wish I could do, is that I had a double barrel shotgun and whenever they came at my door, I would open it with my double barrel shotgun pointed at them. Imagine their face expression!

I'm very unusual, I would love to hear the sound of knocks and buzzers. But if I check and see if they carrying something just to get for profit, then I buy it (only if it's good).

I wish they were just at my door. I need a topic "How to deal with annoying people at work."

Since i'm only 13.

"My parents aren't at home"=if they're not at home.

"Mom/Dad!"= If my parents are at home.

Since I live in an apartment building the only people that come to my door are kids. And they bring their younger siblings. And they are adorable. So I give them money for whatever they want.

If anybody comes to my door and isn't adorable, my screaming children are often enough to deter them (screaming cause they can't run in the hallway). If I am lucky they come around when my kids are sick and have really runny snotty noses...so I let my kids start to approach. It ends conversations pretty quick and I get to still seem polite-ish.

There are not people knocking at my door since that I live in an apartment but, sometimes people call my home asking if I wanna buy what they are selling. My mom told me that when this happens, I should say that I am not interested and and tell the guy in the phone to go away.

It is impossible to reach my door without knowing the codes. You'd have to scale an 8 foot fence. It's galvanized, so sometimes I will turn on the electricity. But I rarely do that, I just keep the sign up that says it's electric.

Then, once you've scaled my fence you'd have to get past my Weimaraner that doesn't like men. Also, wade through the hordes of Guineas. Then you can knock on my door. Which I probably won't answer.

It's supposed to keep people in, not the other way around. People who ask too many questions... You've been warned.

Anyways, no annoying people here either, I live in an apartment and you can't get in unless you know the code.

i usually find that a simple anvil above the window above the door usually works... if not then drop it down.
