AIBU?

To think if I broke his toes, it's his own fault for being a twat?

Had a couple of men from a religious group at my door trying to recruit (?) people.

I politely informed them I wasn't interested and closed the door, well tried to close the door. The idiot at my door had put his foot in to try and jam it. My door is really really heavy and it does need closed with force, this man started making noises about his toe being broken Hmm

AIBU to not really care? He shouldn't have put his damn foot inside my house in the first place, and quite frankly if you do this when someone is closing their door you have nobody to blame but yourself!! It is intimidation techniques to try and force you to listen to their spiel which quite frankly I'm not interested in, in the slightest. I may have told them this

He was trying to gain entry to your house without your permission. Goodness know what he might have had in mind. You were defending yourself from an intruder with unknown motives. You should have set a leopard on him.

I once had a friend* who is a witch, black variety. When the JWs found us (in a remote Wiltshire hamlet), he asked them to come back later, and got ready for them. Invited them in to his room, with a pentagram on the floor, upside down crosses, black candles, and (live) black+ white chickens. He then appeared in his cloak. "So, gentlemen, what was it you wanted to discuss?" They fled. I believe this is an unique achievement.

*More of an acquaintance than a true friend.

Yanbu. I think his behaviour was intimidating. If he'd come to my door, he'd have got the same. I am almost blind and wouldn't have seen his foot encroaching over the threshold.

I have had a religious recruiter put his foot on the door threshold. I'm afraid I also pushed him out with the door much the same as I would do with any other intruder.

I was a witness. This was ongoing attempts to indoctrinate. Worked though. Even the new owners of the house (friends moved locally) aren't harassed. Just in case they're, you know, "evil" too for buying the house. ...

I've known someone accidentally time a nappy-chuck out the window just as a salesman rang the ball. He got hit with the "package. "

She the threw it out the wrong window. Their bin is usually open under a particular windrow (at the side of house) to accept the parcels (yes. I do find this odd). She was in a hurry and just kind of forgot what room she was in. Still. He never returned. She just heard his scream and saw someone legging it.

Intimidating animal for draping.

You arrive uninvited to my house and stick your foot through my door when I've asked you to leave? You had better not be wanting it back.

I believe the standard responses to "I'm a Jehovah's Witness" is "Tell him I hope he wins his case"

My grandfather was a die hard atheist. He had copies if the Koran, bible, etc in his house, along with books about the bible. He would always invite any religious callers in and proceed to talk about sections if their text in detail.

Not many came back.
