Nothing scares away sales men like answering the door in "blood" soaked fatigues, and a tape recording of a Central American torture chamber in the background... Especially if you ask them if they would like to help get some information from a very uncooperative prisoner....

Ask who it is before opening the door, and not opening the door to solicitors. Maybe if they wouldn't leave, I could bang incessantly on my locked door from the inside, and get them to split for fear of an insane occupant.

That's one thing I'm not bothered with too much, but I keep my dog (15 lbs, but sounds mean) out of sight and they don't seem to not be in a big hurry to come in. It also works with some other door knockers I'd rather not have.

I don't. I have three large dogs. One sounds like she's 250 pounds of killer beast (she's a Golden Retriever, and she's hiding behind the sofa barking). The other is part Lab and sounds like a Tasmanian devil (he is warning them away from his house). Most of them leave quickly. I just don't answer the door to the rest of them.

I always ask "who is it" before I open the door. If it's someone I don't know, I always say - "not interested - bye!" and go back to what I was doing. If they don't leave in a reasonable amount of time - or become a problem - I call the cops.

I don't answer the door!!!!!! If I'm already outside and they come up to me, I say that I have to go and walk inside.
