It's the conversing part I'm afraid of.

Fine, make a recording that says "I don't have time for you, go the fuck away." Then just push play, repeat until they stop.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Great idea! I thought of a better one though.

"Unless you're here to give me a blow job or free pizza, fuck off."

They might say "yes" just to get you to come to the door.

Well, however bad they are . . . they can't be as bad as my ex. I had to call the police on her.

I don't get nervous.

I DO get pissed off.

I can almost guarantee someone will knock the moment I slide into a hot bath.

Just "dropping by" someone's home uninvited is incredibly disruptive and rude. Folks who engage in that sort of behavior are typically ignored by me. Or simply told "NO" through the door. 
That goes for friends and family as well.

Though most of the time it's just JWs or some guy trying to sell frozen meat.

Hammy, if you're at all good with tools, I can get you over that apprehensive feeling.\

1.  Install a peephole.

2.  Get one of those trendy metal-mesh doormats.

3.  Run heavy gauge electrical cables from the door mat to the 800w generator which you have thoughtfully placed in your sitting room.

4.  The moment you hear the knock, throw the switch.

5.  When the sizzling quiets down, call out in a sing-songy voice, 'Who iiiis iiiit?'
