  • It’s easy.

    1. Deny
    2. Take control
    3. Show empathy
    4. Start their departure.
    5. Make them glad they’re leaving

    Cut them off, “Oh, sorry. I’m not interested in that. I need to quickly get back to what I was doing. But you have a good day and try stay cool/warm/dry/etc. out there.” Start stepping back, “And be careful of the dog four doors down, it’s a fucking cunt.”

    As you close the door, say “You too, bud.” regardless of what they say, even if they say nothing.

    They will never return or pursue, and you won’t feel rude.

    A city I used to live in had a bridge like this in a major inner-city commercial area just outside the CBD. Would cause havoc for commuters because the bridge was for the southern train lines entering the CBD and was on a busy road entering an major arterial.

    All the traffic got held up and diverted, the trains couldn’t run until engineers inspected the bridge.
