Oh boy, it felt so good!

(true story, just happened)

So I was surfing the web home alone when - crap! - the ring bells. I was still in my pajamas so that really pissed me off... I didn't want to go all the way to the door in vain, so I asked from my window by yelling (first floor so I was invisible to the people in the door)

- Who is it?
- Hi we want to talk to you.
- About what?
- About the wisest man of all time and his teachings.

Darn mormons/Jehova Witnesses/Raelians/Whatever ruining my Saturday morning! Thank god I reacted fast:

- Confucius?
- What?
- Confucius?
- No, it is not Confucious!
- Ah

Then I returned in silence to my computer's desk.

Lovely to hear.

That's great!

Very good. JWs are the big problem around here. I have a "Private Property No Witnessing" sign on my garage door. My driveway is 3000 feet long, muddy and steep.

Never a problem with Jehovah Witnesses or evangelicals. I live above a building used for commercials purposes, so the chance is already minimal and I had a neighbour who was a JW. Since I already belong to a church he understood that I was not interested in switching faith; it gave some interesting discussions. And it works with evangelicals too, you just say that you already belong to God.

Your solution also worked fine

Yes, that was a good one

Here, we're fortunate enough that doorstep is prohibited, especially for religions. So they don't come bothering us as they used to do.
... They didn't start by phone yet, I hope they won't

I know someone who told them he was Buddhist. It was not usual at the time, they looked at him and went away fast and quiet.

Win.

every few months they swoop imn on my village, and ring every bell in sight asking uyou to read their pamflets....
I would like to see what happens if you say "Of course come in.... how fascinating"
they would just sit awkwardly and recite a bible heheheheheheeee

Good one. I can imagine how annoying it could be when people knock on your door like that. Luckily I don't think they can do that where I live.... I think.

That's exactly what I would of done

A friend of mine was once visited by a pair of missionaries early on a Saturday morning. Stumbling in his bathrobe, he still had the presence of mind to go to the kitchen first and grab the candy jar... upon opening the door, he started giving them handfuls of candy, with the comment "Aren't you boys a little early this year? What are you supposed to be, a religion?" before closing the door and returning to bed. They never got to say a word.

The best thing to do, if you can see who's out there before they see you, is to answer the door in nothing but your underwear - The reaction on their face(s) would be priceless! These people really annoy me - which reminds me to put a "No Soliciting" sign on the door - except for Girl Scout cookies, of course!
