...

Just say u are broke and ask them to help u also say u are supposed to go to court next week
Btw consequences ..........

ME, Well I just ignore any and all that come knocking on my door. If a friend is going to stop by they text me first and then i leave the door unlocked for them to get in. I also dont answer my phone unless it is members of my family. I keep my interactions with real people limited, not saying it is healthy, just less bothersome!

Same anon

Or you could print out a fake survey that questions how a person feels about pedophilia, and when they come knocking asking you to buy something just ask them to fill it out while you look for your money. Put some really awkward and personal questions on it

Tell them you gave at the office?
Seriously, just tell them that you can't afford whatever they are selling, it is not in your budget.

Say "Sure! If you buy my ... (insert some random item you want to get rid of) for ... (insert price above the amount they are asking you to spend)"
Watch them flea... like ticks in a flea bath

The first anon (just say you're broke), Nonni and @tokidoki suggestions are the best.


Still, here are a few more:

There's a way that I saw on the internet some time ago, my friend and I tried it on those annoying religious/charity people on streets and it worked. It was simple: just say you are a Jeovah witness (I think that's how they're called in english) - they're also known to be very annoying trying to convert others to their faith, even if in truth the're not all like that.


º Just say you're not interested and they should leave or you'll call the cops for trespassing (this is also extreme, so save it for the ones that just don't give up no matter what, it can also depend on the laws of each country).

º If you're dressed decently, just say you were about to leave and don't have the time. Say there's an emergency if you really have to. Leave for a bit, take a walk or drive for a bit or something and go back (this depends on how safe your area is).

Now for the ones that I leave more in a joking manner - please don't take them seriously:
º You can keep a mask near your door. If you see they're going to be annoying, then put it on and fake being sick. you can also sprinkle a little water on your face to fake sweat, or put a blanket on your shoulders (if you're wearing a mask it will give the image of a serious/contagious illness and they should leave)
º If it's not a neighbour, you can start crying and saying that you just got some bad news / your pet died (/ anything bad and believable that could make you cry). Those people don't really feel like putting up with a crying person that won't buy them anything and just make them waste time, they don't want to stick around and comfort anyone.

WARNING
All these aren't nice and should only be done if the other party is really persistent.
You should always try a simple 'no, thank you, I'm not interested. have a nice day'. Most people understand and leave.
(the warning is more for other people. it's not for you since you specifically asked about persistent people)

have a "no soliciting" sign on your front door.

You have to make them feel that they've got no reason to come back, to them you're a potential buyer ╮(￣▽￣)╭.. Like the comment above place the no soliciting sign. If you're living with parents ask them to talk to the neighbor on this.. else we can get a little creative ;) being a weirdo is the best way out if you don't wanna be rude or give it to them straight that you ain't buying stuff..

Next time if they try sell food say your colon has become sensitive so can't buy randomly and hold your stomach for special effects -- bonus points if you start pouring out a shitty story that makes them regret coming by, for topical products say that you're into a new picky health conscious lifestyle and go off on a tangent about chemical ingredients -- basically make sure to get them to feel you're wasting their time lol.. no matter what they sell if you can counter that with a problem you have/see+random issues in the world I'm sure they'd feel you're a waste of time and stop bothering and onto other unfortunate customers ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
