[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I either ignore completely or if it’s something more dramatic, I say “I’m sorry, what did you say?” Then when they repeat it I say, “Oh, I thought I must have been mistaken.” Then I change the subject. It helps that I can raise one eyebrow.[/quote] NP. Good advice, and bonus points if you can manage to do this in front of an audience of your family members or friends. When a family member made a comment about my appearance in front of a 70-something British aunt, I cheerfully said, “oh, she always makes comments about my looks.” The aging aunt looked shocked and the perp never did it again, even in private. The goal is to get a rise out of you. As many of these responses have suggested, don’t give them payback by responding to the bait. [/quote]
