"I dislike it when people come and bang on my door, be they salesmen or people trying to convert me."
SO DO I! The religious spammers travel in packs around my neighborhood, and I refuse to answer the door when they ring my door bell. I used to answer the door, but these folks can't take a hint when I tell them I am not interested in converting. I hated to do it, but I had to become rude and actually shut the door in their faces.
Apparantly, some religious groups think that being treated rudely is a sign that they are earning points in heaven.
Do you like dogs?
I was telling mollynme about how good our puppy was at discourageing this sort of thing.
