How Do You Deal With People And Kids?

[dUSt]

When people start to invade my space like that I just look at them and say, "Are you my new friend are you my new friend are you my new friend?"
Their reaction is the part I enjoy the most.

I don't know much about hermits, but there's a hermit at our parish who attends daily Mass.

I am a fellow of considerable girth, so it's very easy for people to invade my space when I'm in a small space and they want to do something like, say, drive a grocery cart past me. I usually say something appropriately annoying like "pardon my fatness" or whatever. "Excuse me" works for when I don't feel like being sarcastic. As for people just getting in my face, they just don't bother I guess. Probably because I'm just a big guy.

And for little kids, I find that pretty easy. But I did grow up in a family of 10. If you know the kid and the parents, and they are too young to understand you or will shortly maim themselves or something like that, you may wish to consider just picking them up and moving them. Otherwise just be nice but firm. Children will listen to an adult if you have a tone of seriousness in your voice (no need for anger or harshness, but it helps if you can convey that you NEED them to do something, and not just wanting it) , and will often completely ignore someone who speaks with, shall we say, a sweet and syrupy disposition. Or you could act creepy and they will flee from you in tears.
