I live in the middle of nowhere, with a long lane. Usually the people that actually make it to the door are people I want to see. When I lived in the city and someone showed up at the door and started a spiel I just very politely smiled my best faux smile and said thank you but I am not interested. All while a very large, mean looking dog (or dogs, depending on the day) stood staring at them with a hungry "please let me chew on them, mom" look in their eye. Then I shut the door. It always has worked quite well. On the rare occasion I actually answer the home phone..........I generally just set the phone receiver down and go on about my business. I check back in a few minutes to see if they are still talking or if they have given up. When they finally give up, I hang it back up.
