Not many. We occasionally get the charity ones selling tea towels etc but since I live in an area of lots of elderly and frail people there has been a police policy to discourage door to door sellers. |

Well that's good that they have done this...I usually keep the door half open and because I'm a fat fucker they can't get a look in as to what's in the house. I'm sure they are not casing the joint but it's akways in the back of my mind as to whether they are genuine or not.. |

Never get any here either, apart from virginmedia sales people but i'm already with them so they always have to apologise for bothering me for no reason. Did have the local pisshead come to my door asking me for money once. |

I live in a secure entry building, yet my neighbours just buzz in any old random.
I ignore the buzzer unless I'm expecting anyone, and if I can hear doors being knocked on I just ignore it when they get to me |

I like to tell Jehovah witnesses knocking on I'm a satanist. They move on pretty quick although once they came back with reinforcements. I had to apologise and listen to them for a bit, still told them to jog on. |

I ask them if they've given up all their possessions to come preach their word at me. The bible tells them to do that. |

We have Jehovah's living opposite , lovely family , but it means we never get a knock up because they know us all.
They're not much fun at the street Christmas party though. |

My sisters one, she had a lot of problems all her life ans she's a lot nicer/happier since she became one tbh. She's never preached at me either, i only ever see her at christmas though and she gets me presents.
They're alright i guess. Just don't need them coming round to mine, mormons come by sometimes as well. |

I used to do this for a home improvement company but didn't do very well as I just didn't have it in me to harass people like the company wanted us to, they train you to lie as much as possible to get the customers interested its a horrible job and I'm glad I'm out of it, and they still keep messaging to try and get me back |

I have a mirror strategically positioned so I can see who's at the door without being seen. The majority of the time I can tell whether I have any wish to answer and mostly, just like my home phone that has caller ID, I don't. |

My elderly neighbour has clear signs up asking for door to door sellers to not call at her house and they still do. I get very militant when I see them and happily see them off from bothering her.
Seem to always get double glazing guys round where we are. |

How about, "Jesus told me to not fall for your spiel. He's upstairs in the cellar. Would you like to come in and commune with him? We were just settling down to a nice game of Russian roulette. He's terrible at it! Still, it doesn't seem to put him off!" |

I live in a bit of a maze, where the houses to one side are on a different street and I get no end of people trying to deliver to the corresponding number of that house instead of this place.
I love the way people ask if I'm sure this isn't the right street. I've only been here 9 years.  |

If I'm ever off work,and someone knocks I just assume they're seeking me shit I don't want or even worse its the godshite brigade so I don't bother answering  |

I'm always unfailingly polite to the Jehova's witnesses, but I know how to turn their pitch on its head. When I lived in Cardiff our house got visited once and never again, even when the neighbours got visited and we were home. I guess I got blacklisted. |

Now see. ..
I have no problem at all with JW's and believe me I'm not religious at all.
An old couple knock on my door. They must be in their 70's.
I regularly have them in and make them a cuppa.
The husband is a fucking lovely bloke.
So that comment can do one. |
