    I always get them asking if the man of the house is home. Which is quite convenient since I can say "no" and shut the door.

    ...the salesmen here are quite happy to sell to the lady of the house without the man having the possibility to say no :D
    I'd say they even preferr it.

    Then again, I haven't had a call here in eastern-Germany for ages...well there were some mormones around a couple of years back but that was it.
    In Holland, 3x a week there was someone at the door selling somethingorother.

    When I lived at my Mum's, my dog hated people knocking at the door. Considering he's not a massive dog (Greyhound), he sure as hell barked like one, whenever salesmen came round, I opened the door hiding the dog behind me, politely mentioning I couldn't hold him back much longer. Suddenly they weren't that interested in selling me anything.
