So what do you do when those pesky door sales people show up at your door?

Answer 1

open the door slowly poke youre head around the corner and then start shrieking that camels are taking over the world and were all doomed or you could just politly tell them to bugger off

Answer 4

scream and slam the door

Answer 5

Don't open it! You don't know them.

Answer 6

Purchase a small "No solicitors" sign and put on your door. Also, you can always say to the person that you are not interested in talking to them if they are selling something.

Beware, some sales people are so persistent because they think you will eventually give in. Stay strong!  After all this is your home. You did not make an appointment with them to come into your home. Unfortunately, in their effort to make a living, they are  intruding.

Good Luck and Take Care
