I'm a little rude to anybody that knocks on my door. I wasnt always that way but the older I get the more grumpy I get when people ring my doorbell unsolicited. They could be JW, selling steak, magazines, my neighbor (jk)... whatever. I just dont care to encourage door to door activity even if it might be something I'd be interested in.

I chose slam the door because, well...if it is an adult I basically will just tell them I'm not interested and close the door. Not usually rude in tone...but closing the door without listening to their response to my "not interested" is probably a bit less polite than I could be...but it sure does avoid a lot of unproductive dialog.

If its a little kid I'll usually listen to them for a minute and come up with a lame excuse as to why I can't donate, or have to go, etc.
