Charities knocking on your door. what do you do?

The best one was in the summer I was sat in the front room, rando guy walks down the drive about 5.30 - 6pm just when you've got in from work and don't want to deal with anyone. He knocks on the door and gets no answer, he then peers through the side window so I simply smile and give him a friendly wave. He knocks again so I wave again. A few minutes later I see him sheepishly walk back down the drive
 
This chavvy teenager came upto my dad once, so my dad called me to see what he wanted. I asked him what was up, and he said he was doing a sponserd walk to raise money for his 2 year old brother which has a cronic illness. He said the walk was from a hospital in bradford to one in leeds, I gave him £2, and he went on his way. I think the walks taking place on the 26th so going to see.

haha thats ace, il remember that for next time
 
Everytime jehovas witnesses come to my door, I tell them about Islam for a good 20 minutes. Until they get bored and walk off.
 
Im normally just polite and say no thank you, unless they get pushy. One tactic i have notice is that they use very attractive girls mostly.

I hate Jehovs witnesses though. The came round once at 9 in the morning on a Sunday in mainly student area. Que me incrediably hung over, being woken up my 2 middle age ladies trying to talk to me. I explained to them, that it was a Sunday morning, that i had a very heavy night and that i was about to spew over them if they didn't **** off. They soon left.
 
Just say you are not interested.

No idea why people have to be rude to people these days for the hell of it. If they start being pushy then that's different. But the vast majority aren't. If you just say you aren't interested they leave. Just like most religious groups that come to the door.

To make a point... I dislike people knocking at my door for dumb reasons (or posting crap through it)... so I make a point of telling them to * off.

If you're not happy with something... make a point, else it will continue. Bad restaurants etc... tell them they have garbage food instead of just not going back... like many people do.
 
Can not be bothered with any charity and it will be a cold day in hell when i give them money. Only one exception and that is the Keswick Mountain Rescue, never needed rescued but one day I might slip when i am fell walking.
 
I usually just tell them I'm not interested, unless it's a fit lass then I usually let them in... Seem to get a lot of them at this house for some reason.

You could just stick a note on the door saying 'No circulars/sales/charities' or something though, rather than being a dick to people. :confused:
 
Pretend I am not in, even if I am sitting in the front room watching TV <<<<<< ignorance *** :D

If I want to give to charity it will be a charity of my choice, dont come to my door!

haha im exactly the same, we have a tv up on wall straight across from big window so they know someones in.

people who aint wasting my time know to use the back door.
 
My mum always tells them to **** off politely.
My dad always gives them something or asks more info ( unless it's someone spreading ''the word of god'', then he laughs at them and closes the door).
If I open I always call my parents, pretend I'm still 14 or 15. If it's a neighbor collecting or someone I know I'll give them 50 cents.
