Everyone I know would know enough to call or text before coming over, and anyone in an emergency would keep knocking.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve had plenty of obnoxious salespeople and other solicitors, especially religious ones.  They even have the nerve to claim that they aren&amp;#x27;t soliciting because they&amp;#x27;re not selling anything for money.  And none of them have the good sense to accept that they&amp;#x27;re bothering someone that is obviously not happy that their door was knocked on.&lt;p&gt;Unless I&amp;#x27;m already in a really bad mood, I generally start off nice, but I turn serious as soon as they refuse to take the first &amp;#x27;no&amp;#x27;.
