I live in a town with more cows than people but we happen to have a Mormon church here. 8 years ago they started coming through our gate, up a half mile driveway and ignoring barking dogs while I was at work.
My wife was too nice to tell them off in spite of them repeatedly waking up our newborn. All it took was one time of me being home when they came by to end it forever. I answered the door in my underwear with a spawn of Satan attitude.
You sir, are not an a-hole for wanting to be left alone.

I’ve slammed the door on 2 young adult men one evening selling something. Knocked once, dogs went nuts. Big dogs. They stop barking and they knocked again. Dogs start raising h*ll again. Stupidly, I opened the door and yelled “really? No!” And slammed the door. Wasn’t the smartest thing to do but I was pissed.

AT&T loves to keep knocking til I come to the door. They usually come around 1-2 pm which are my client meeting heavy times, and I’ve come out pretty fiery considering 1. On a work call and 2. I already have AT&T

I don’t get many, we have “ No Solicitation,” signs at every entrance.
Same here, so at that point they are officially trespassing. I’ll either answer the door butt naked or with a shotgun, or both.
Most of the time I ignore the knock and they go away tho.

I tried to be nice to one the other day selling pest control. Told him I was with another company and my family was eating dinner, he then asked ok so what time will
you be done so I can come back. I just asked him why are you going to make me be a dick about it which made him leave.
Those people all just have their rehearsed playbooks but it’s pretty annoying.

In spite of multiple signs on our neighborhood, a couple of pest control companies ignore them and I get tired of pointing it out.
I try not to be an arse about it but sometimes I am not warm and hospitable when I open the door.

I wouldn’t do door to door sales if you quadrupled my salary.
Posted on 6/25/25 at 9:15 am to The Torch
I would have done the same

I encountered two college kids working for them about two years ago. The first one, I just got home from work and saw a Honda Accord in my driveway. I thought it was my wife's best friend coming to visit the baby. I didn't want to be rude so I listened to her spiel, kindly declined at the end and she just kept being pushy. My wife came outside with our baby crying so I just walked off. Checked our cameras and she stayed around for another ten minutes or so then left.
A month or so later, my wife was running errands while I was with the baby. We're in mid feed when I hear a knock on our back door. From my couch, I can look to my left and see directly outside. It was an Asian kid and I held up my baby like Rafiki holding up Simba from The Lion King. Didn't matter, he knocked again. I got up, carried my baby and bottle to the door, opened it a crack and said, "Not interested". Closed the door and could hear him say, "I won't take much of your time"....I was pissed at this point so I said "I'M TRYING TO FEED MY BABY". This idiot asks if he can use my bathroom. I just walked off back to my couch. I look back over and HE IS STILL THERE WAVING AT ME. I got up and went to a different couch so I couldn't see him and I heard him knock again but eventually left.
Haven't seen them again but I won't have much patience if they come again.

I had one last week give me attitude when I said I wasn't interested over my Ring doorbell cam 
I said "No thanks, we're not interested."
He says "Not interested in what?"
I say "Whatever it is you're doing, please leave."
He then mumbled something along the lines of "you got someone paying for you..."
Haven't seen that particular tactic from many salesmen

Poor you. It’s 8:00 am. A little too early for you? At least she’s working. How about a little grace and talk to her thru the mic in the doorbell camera?? What if that were your daughter? Wouldn’t you be glad that she’s busting her arse at 8:00 am trying to make a living rather than sleeping until noon expecting daddy or baby daddy to pay her bills? Amazing how far the pussification in this world has gotten.

You're not an a-hole for this, you're an a-hole for not posting her pics.
