Answer 1

Whatever you do, don't get stressed out because then they will mock you and cause a positive feedback loop that only ends when you punch them or they leave.

Just be like, "Whatever" or "That's not true." or "You are not a credible source of information" and keep walking / leave / ignore them.

Oh wait.

Well, whatever.

Answer 5

I might say one of the following depending on the situation:

"wow, that was rude."

"grow up, please."

"why are you so insecure?"

"thank you doctor, how much do I owe you."

"was that really the best you could do?" sometimes followed by "try again, I know there's a better one in there, let's hear it."

and lastly, and my most favored,

"hey thanks!"

feel free to use any variation of these, but remember the most important part is to not let them know they got to you. that includes facial expression, tone of voice, and body language.

good luck!

It happened long time to me also.

I am Japanese and I was going to C-town from near my house.

When I coughed near lady, she yell, "Shut up, *****."

I told her, "I not *****. I'm Japanese."

She replied, "Shut you....mouth (I don't like to put curse word)"

I was so angry, I cried.

Another time it happened when I was riding the subway and I was inimating subway announcement and passenger behind me told me to shut up.

I think best way to defend yourself to say kindly.

If they don't start being rude, call police.
