UNWANTED COMMENTS – strangers don’t dare, there’s a colleague of mine that sometimes complains I use the same footwear (because you check me out, amright?) and I reply with “Wanna buy me new ones?”; relatives, I reply with “We don’t have to say everything we think, right? Unless asked, I didn’t ask.”
COMPLIMENTS – I just accept, “really? I like this too!”
Depends on the situation. Work? Acquaintance? Family member? Man? Woman? Sexual innuendo or not? I might ignore, willfully misunderstand, I might retaliate by making him or her self conscious … Depends.

The ignore game is so strong. SO strong.
