[nagdu] What would you have done? An odd access issue

[Julie J.]

I think you did fine.

I tend to react on the same level as the person  who is annoying me.  If the 
person is talking to me, I'll talk back.  If they are ignoring me, talking 
to my family member or otherwise committing a minor rudeness, then I am a 
bit rude to them back.

I can only think of one time where I was completely and totally denied 
access. *this was strictly a blindness thing, no guide dog then* Apparently 
I turned several shades of red.  My then husband drug me out and we dealt 
with the issue later.  It was an issue that was not immediate, so this 
worked and was probably much more productive than me losing my temper. 
*smile*

I think starting out polite and friendly with a willingness to educate is a 
good place to begin.  Usually it's effective and everyone can walk away with 
their pride intact.  If it doesn't work you can always move up to the next 
step, but it's a whole lot more difficult to start out pissed and work your 
way back to polite. *smile*
