I did door to door canvassing for 4 days, and really I never had anyone be rude to me. Most were very nice and polite.

We get lots of religion peddlers in the housing complex I live in. They're mostly Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and crazy born again Christian groups. They come to the door and I politely tell them that I'm an atheist and then I refer them to whoever my worst neighbour is at the moment.
I once looked after a nun's house while she was abroad. There were quite a few nuisance phone calls from people soliciting charity donations and from people selling solar panels or wines. The best response was to tell them she could not come to the phone right now because she was sucking my cock.
Oldie but goodie.
Yes but in person you're quite a nice person.

I learned a new word today 
My granddad used to open the door a crack, yell "Whaddaya want?" then slowly raise a broken air rifle that looked really menacing through the crack. If they were really obnoxious people he'd then say, "Well, Jesus Christ! Come on in!" That usually scared them off.

Was it a tent factory?

I had some Jehovah's Witnesses show up at my place last month. I walked out of the house, looked at them and they got back into their car and left. Didn't even leave a WatchTower. Probably it was the meat cleaver I was holding and the "crazy eyes" expression I pulled.

I've seen a few packs of Mormon types wandering around outside our building, but none have yet knocked on our door.
I feel affronted.
Crazy eyes always work.
We live just a few miles from the Joseph Smith farm and the site of the massive pageant that is held every year. This part of the state is lousy with Mormons.
Some one always leaves a stack of Wathctowers neatly stacked on the luggage holder on my bus.
Must remember to slip some porn in there one day.

Did you know up until about 100 years ago hunting Mormons was legal in certain states.

Someone did a similar thing with me - but they left a stack of Watchtowers.
