Charity door-to-door cold callers

Don't mind cold callers much as long as they don't go all mardy when you tell them no.

Just smile and say "I'm not interested, thank you" and repeat until they get the message.

Live slightly off the beaten track? Never had a cold caller here in over 10 years. The other thing I've seen is a little sticker that states 'No Cold Callers......we do not buy or sell at this door etc'. My parents have one on their front door. I think it came from the local council.

The absolute worst door to door cold callers are Jehovah's Witnesses.

What gives them the right to shove their 'religion' down people's throats ?

They're not. They're asking if you're interested. If you're not, you tell them no.

Some don't take no for an answer though and end up making repeat visits.

Tell them you already donate to the cause...

I once had some Christians come around when I lived with my parents.

I couldn't find the key for the door so had to open the porch window and shout "Yes?" out of it.

They asked "Do you know who owns this world"

My response "George Bush?"

Pause...

Smile...

They left!

Just tell them you rent, and when they look back at you confused, close the door in their faces.

Excellent response

I generally just say no thanks after about 20 seconds of them waffling on.

The RSPCA have been out in force in my town as of the start of the week. Dude knocked on my door and asked if I was over 25. When I said no he left? I pay the rent here so whats being 25 got to do with anything ?
