I have experienced similar situations... I do wish I could have better control on my responses.

Lori, I smiled when reading this......read my signature. This was said by Buddha. My older son is genius level smart...the problem was during his high school years he was so convinced he knew more than anyone else that I was constantly "teaching" him the value of this philosophy. He was pretty impudent, lol! Since then, he has his masters in Philosophy and has mellowed considerably...at times I would even say he is humble. Lol.

Kill the old lady with "kindness" and she won't know what hit her.

I was thinking about that. Also, "Is that right?" is a phrase that implies you are full of hooey or I'm not exactly listening to you.

I would have smiled and walk on.....everyone would respect your attitude ! But if it continued, need to have a snappy remark. Like this lady claims she made something but was purchased on eBay so I asked to "borrow" pattern....her answer? I have to find it, it's somewhere in my room but the funny thing is...she supposedly just made it! Oh well....
