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

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IT)]

Hmmm, can you share? What were you denied access to sans dog? 
Totally agree with the comment that it's a lot harder to rachett down
once you start in a pissed frame of mind.

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*

JMHO
