No external factor is necessary to “get you out of” talking to a door-to-door salesman. It really is as simple as saying “get the fuck off my property” and slamming the door in their face.
You can be nice and firm. “I’m not interested. Have a day” and then shut the door. They’re just doing their job no need to be an asshat ;) seems a lot of people are so afraid of conflict they’ll allow people to monopolize their time simply to save the embarassment of saying leave me tf alone.
We finally got a “no soliciting” sign and it’s insane how much it actually works. I had just assumed people would ignore it and it’d be as useless as the do not call list. But I was wrong and people turn their ass around before ringing the doorbell
Me too. My SO is too fucking nice. I love her for being so nice, but I caught her giving way too much personal info to some random solicitor. When I asked her why she would do that she “felt bad” for him. Nope, not having that, and the sign has worked wonders by preventing all contact in the first place. Can’t feel guilty if you don’t engage.
