Also, since missionaries are missionaries in the minds of most people, a Mormon missionary is viewed the same as a Jehovahs Witness. While the latter are mandated to convert you (thus pissing you off by never getting the hint), Mormon missionaries are *supposed* to simply preach their gospel if you want. If you say not interested or that you've already heard the spiel, they are *supposed* to just move on.

In 56 years I don't think I've ever had a Mormon missionary come up to my door. Plenty of JW's but never a Mormon. I've even been in the LDS Family History Center here Calgary a few times, doing some family genealogy research. The people working there were extremely helpful but not once did they try to convert me.
If they did perhaps come to my door, they were obviously very polite and when I told them I wasn't interested they must have immediately moved on without trying to push the matter further.... thus making no lasting impression on me at all.
