Did he eat your granola bar?  I wouldn't tolerate that.

Talion, that's what I do but here's my thinking

If I were to reach out and pat his belly a bit and ask a simple question like, "You're giving me health advice?" there is a good chance he would never do it again.

With this guy it didn't matter because I have never seen him again anyway.  But for others that you see on a regular basis, wouldn't it be worth the future silence?

Some things simply aren't worthy of a response. Telling this guy about himself would've served no purpose whatsoever. I have a simple philosophy concerning how I deal with people. I consider the source. If the person wouldn't be in the same room with me on a Christmas morning, a time reserved for those I truly love and who love me, their opinion means little. Things that mean little to me, I politely ignore. It's simple and quite effective.
