How do you ask someone to stop dropping in uninvited?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

When people drop in uninvited, I usually just go stand on the front porch and talk to them, and they get the hint. If they continue to do it, or ask to come in, I just say "I'm sorry, but I'm very busy right now, but why don't you call me later, and we'll make plans to get together when I'm not working."
If they still don't get the hint, just put a sign on your door, with a notepad and pencil, that says something like "I am working. If this sign is up, and this is not a true emergency, please do not disturb me. You are welcome to leave a note with your number or call tonight and arrange a mutually convenient time for us to get together."
It's drastic, but it works most of the time. If THAT doesn't work, just be blunt, tell them they are being disrespectful and you will not answer the door for them anymore if they are not invited.

M$If for some reason he/she will not get the hint and appear on my doorway. I will just be honest that I am not in the mood and cannot entertain visitors. I think this would be best than acting uninterested or slamming the door on their face. I may not want visitors but I don't want to appear rude.

M$I like your blunt and honest approach. It sound like something I might say: "because it's my door and I did't feel like answering it". I might add "You gotta know that's a possibility when you just drop in, so no big deal, right?"
With my friends, this would go over just fine. It's how we are.
