I was at the grocery store at 7:30 am this morning loading my car up when an elderly couple drove up and gave me a religious flier. I can’t even be alone in the $&!?@ parking lot of a grocery store without being harassed. ? I just chuckled and kept going, but I really wish I had told them no thanks. I’m too polite.

Doesn't cost more than a few seconds , to be polite . It's the religious who are angry and hurtful . Let's not be like them .

Yeah and you see where that has gotten us.

politeness is not always appropriate behavior. sometimes it is better to stop people from being intrusive. one can be polite in rejecting someone's intrusion. one doesn't have to agree to what is happening or permit it to remain polite. but as i say, there are times....

I had this happen to me not so long ago as well. I also just smiled and didn’t do anything but more and more I’m thinking I should stop being polite at some point.

You are polite. I usually reply, "No thank you I value facts over the make believe." If they ask me what I mean - - - the fun begins. . .
