Almost everyone who has voted in the poll says that when they're approached by a complete stranger (who is also a yahoo, remember) they would let them yammer on until they get the hint that you're not interested.
Come on folks! Get with it!
I'd like to commend the person who pretends like s/he doesn't understand English. If nothing else, it makes for a great story later. Especially if you look that yahoo straight in the eye and say, with no accent whatsoever, "I don't speak English." Try it!
I have to admit that I posted that poll after being accosted by a maniacal pick-up artist at the Met. I was trying to recover from seeing one of Gustave Courbet's more shocking paintings (which you can see
Here; I won't post the pic itself) when this guy practically knocked me down and demanded me to go to his studio apartment in the Bronx.
Actually he was a soft-spoken Japanese guy shorter than I am, but it was too much to take.
I chose the turn and run while he's not looking approach.
It was actually warm in New York City today, thank God. More please.
