    It's a good thing it doesn't have horns.

    Ignore them, even if they are addressing me.

    I brush it off but, eventually, I will put them in their place.

    Sometimes I use the old oopsy technique - that's were you wait for them to walk by you then nonchalantly stick your foot out and trip then then say oopsy. Cheers!

  • Keep your cool no matter what the provocation  The most offensive responses are best given coolly and deliberately.

    Not really any technique.  I just play it straight and efficiently.  The way I would with anyone.  You can't let them fluster you.

    Where possible, humor, to calm the situation. 
    Failing that, making them wait, ignore them, waste their time, while smiling like a goof. In the end, that’s funny too.

    Depends on where I am and who it is:
    My customer humor works best. 
    On the internet a user report button works.
    In general, ignore or give it right back depending, on my mood. This post was edited by my2cents at March 26, 2019 5:13 PM MDT
