I never get door to door sales people. I mainly get calls now, especially from people who offer air duct cleaning 😑... I tell them I live in a condo when they call with a private number.
Nope! I've worked as a door to door salesman, so I know all the tricks. If someone knocks on my door I ignore them until they knock on the next door... it's shitty, but I can't be sold on anything.
Don't get them often and I answer the door as I am at the time. If there uncomfortable, that's too bad lmao. XD I'm not much for entertaining those who come unannounced for long.
i usually open the doors, briefly hear what they have to say and just say to get out of my estate cause i dont want them here and just close the doors back lol
Do they still exist? I haven't seen one in ages. I would answer any knocking at my home, for sure. But I'd buy nothing: "Don't go to the King, unless he calls for you"
I says "who's there" even if I know from looking through the peephole that it's a salesman. Then, I just open it and smile and say I'm not interested. If they come at an ungodly hour during my chill time or when I'm relaxing... I just ignore em
Fuck no. I live in the country for a reason. I work nights and got tired of people ringing my doorbell to tell me a out god or to sell me some cookies. I still get a religious nut or two knocking on my door but I never answer.
Psychology matters. When we open the door we look for the initial appearance, the icard is used or not. at least that acts as a catalyst to further communication or not. Otherwise it better to avoid if you dont feel good.
story from the past of a relative. Teen came to door asking to use phone due to car problem, let guy in. Older woman in her 70's... sexually assualted. Survived only because she outsmarted him. Now that's 1 out of 1,000,000, but that's a bad one. I always remembered that where I go... you gotta discern, use your emotional intelligence to read the situation. There's plenty of crazy, messed up people out there.
I start the "movie" setting on my phone and point to our "no solicitor" sign on the door. Only had to interact with the police once- never saw that guy again!
Yes that is a very motivated salesman to dig/climb over a 10 foot electrified fence with razor wire on top then ran chased by dogs to my door so I doubt me not opening it would stop him
Once I let the guy in and tried to convince him that scientology is the only true answer for all questions...90secs later he was gone and he never came back

I take a moment to take off all my clothes, then throw the door wide open. That usually gets rid of them very quickly!
Just Kidding.

Usually pretend I’m not home. It can be a little annoying at times, but I get that they’re just doing their job.
No, I act like no one's home.
I'm lucky that if I do answer the door, I look young enough that salespeople usually ask if my parents are home 😂

People still do this? It's an obsolete sales technique. Sorry, no sympathy for the poor kids duped into selling magazines or other crap door to door.

I don't ever answer my door unless I'm expecting someone.
Yes and point out the 'No Soliciting' sign above my doorbell.
yes but I don't trust them, even the kids:(
Same here, I don't want them to rob me or something.

But where I live, I feel safe enough! It's a big world, but luck favors the prepared, yes?
Doesn't hurt to study Bruce Lee and martial arts just in case...
you just never know and have to make quick decisions.

No. Nobody comes to my door uninvited. Guests out here are seldom and rarely a good thing
I answer just to politely tell them that “I’m not interested, thanks”😌
