Don't play their game. Turn around, walk away and set up again at a later time and location.<br /><br />Yes, it is frustrating.<br /><br />But IMHO, it is better to be cautious, than to give any of these knuckleheads any ammunition to use against us.<br />KG-1http://rightmi.com/author/kg-one/noreply@blogger.com
