In summary: I usually just walk right past them.I have seen a few people who have been successful in getting people to stop and take a flyer by being persistent, but it's not very often.In summary, people offer fliers to others and there are several ways to decline them. One example is to say "are you kidding me?" Another is to say "no thank you" and throw the flyer away. Another is to say "I can't read" and walk away. The last is to say "uh... no thanks" and walk away.

Sometime early in our marriage, my wife and I were living in one of a series of run-down-dump apartments in our quest to save money for a home of our own, and the Jehovahs came calling. A couple of well-dressed women came to the door and tried to get me to accept their literature, and I told them "Only if you'll trade with me." I had picked up a Playboy off a newsstand because of a W.F.Buckley submission, and having read it, and looked at the tame photos (of course) the magazine was on an end-table near the door ready to be tossed. Somehow, I was never bothered by JW evangelicals for quite a few years until a few months ago when I had to Un-invite them from my property. (Don't come back!) Those people keep some pretty impressive records, because my wife and I have lived in a LOT of places over the last 30+ years.
