**** off!

By my back hurts - 04/09/2013 05:25 - Australia - Campbelltown

Today, I spent a large portion of the afternoon playing hide and seek with the door-to-door salesman who saw me sneak in the back door and won't stop knocking. No amount of hiding behind the couch will make him go away. FML

Unless he's selling Cheetos, you might as well punch him in the face.

Why do you need to hide? You both know you're in the house, and it's his time he's wasting if he keeps knocking. Just go about doing what you'd normally do and he'll get bored. You do realise it's not some kind of wacky scenario where you opening the door to him is inevitable, right?

I didn't know that there are still "door to door" salesmen! I think that here in the US, that they are almost extinct.

Sadly they are not extinct in the US. They come to my house once every couple months. So far I've had people try to sell me a "miracle cleaning solution" for....get this.... $100 a gallon, children's books, meat, and satellite tv. And boy oh boy do they know how to be persistent, even if you say "I'm not interested." My advice, never let them have that "just a minute of your time" that they ask for.

Call the cops and tell them that you have a stalker or something like that......

I usually open the door to people like this with my large butcher knife and honing steel, sharpening the knife. Or opening the door completely naked works very well too.

Just wave to him and sit down and watch tv, he should've taken the hint

Hide in your own house? why not put a sign on your door that says you're deaf.Your house may get robbed but you'll get rid of those pesky salesmen for sure.

Answer the door and tell him to **** off.. Now that wasn't so hard was it?

After 5 minutes I would've called the cops. Actually I'm not sure I'd wait 5 minutes!

Well, next time just tell him you're not interested with a desth stare.

My first thought when I read this was process server. OP might have outstanding debts he is hiding from.

"Who can it be knocking at my door? Go away, don't come 'round here no more Can't you see that it's late at night? I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right All I wish is to be alone Stay away, don't you invade my home Best off if you hang outside Don't come in, I'll only run and hide Who can it be now?":P
