I'll second what QuantumSparkles said. Mostly uninterested or feign interest so you go away. Rarely actual anger. People have an inherent politeness that kicks in here.

Not that someone inside could say it, but you tend to hope that people won't come to the door. Lots of doorbells either don't work or you can't hear them from the outside, so you learn tricks to pretend to press it.
