I actually had a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses come to my door a couple of weeks ago.
'My door' is accessed in one of two ways: Either through a locked door to which residents of the building have a key, or through an unlocked door which is nevertheless marked 'PRIVATE PROPERTY' and 'NO SOLICITATION'.
Further, it was ten in the morning on a Saturday which means I was totally not set to receive people. So I answer the door in pajama bottoms and a t-shirt, with my hair wild in all directions from having woken up about ten minutes before and not had my coffee yet.
"We... uh, we were wondering if you had a few minutes to discuss --" "Are you literate?" "...Yes?" "There are signs outside. Please go read them. Don't come back." *points at door*
Yes, it was rude, but so is breaking into my apartment building.
