[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm British and I often wonder if how I deal with this is cultural but I normally look at the person asking and say in a surprised/bemused tone: 'how rude' It's funny because it does make people back off a bit without being too aggressive of a response.[/quote] I think that approach can be perceived offensive and judgmental. (Perhaps the questioner is simply naive.) it's better for a final closure - after trying more polite/civil options - as it can be taken quite negatively. And, as you say, it's cultural. [/quote]
