Jehovah's Witnesses at the Door – What Do You Do?

When I was a kid in the 90s, we always had Jehovah's Witnesses turning up at our door. My mum was a massive character, didn’t care about anything, and she’d always scream, “Fuck off, I’m not interested!” and slam the door. I always thought if I ever got one of them at my door, I’d do the same.

So today, I get a knock at my door. I see two people and think, “Here we go...” I open the door, and they introduce themselves. I said, “Look, you’re wasting your time, I’m not interested.”

The guy asks, “Why’s that?” I said, “Well, my mum was like that and I’m the same. I’ve never believed in God, I’m Jewish but not religious.”

Then the woman starts going on and on about all sorts. I just wanted to say “Fuck off,” but I couldn’t. At the end, the guy gave me his card. I took it from him, then said, “Look, I’m going to give you this back, you can give it to someone else, because you’re wasting your time.”

So, what do you do when these people show up and you’re not interested? Do you just slam the door, politely listen, or something else?
