xxshaneallenxx, I was fortunate to have a father that taught me, just "watch my lips" from birth. So it was easier for me. However, you can get books and online advice, BUT..... the best thing is to watch a person, after having listened to them here on YT. I am a very bad example. I confess to being a bad enunciator. When you find a person, keep with them, close your eyes and listen, then turn off the sound and listen again, to only their lips. Feel free to email me on anything at all.
hehe ya that might be a little embaressing :) Though I think people need to have a little more tact. If you see that someone is reading AND has a headset...leave them the hell alone! hehe
I think you handled this situation very courteously. Dealing w/ppl who are uninformed or ignorant etc. can be hard but responding to them politely is even harder, and that speaks volumes. Bravo to you!
I would say " I don't mean to be rude but I must finish this book, maybe we can talk some other time" and then ignore her. She may ask "what other time?" and this is where the ignore part is important. :)
i dont read books but if i did i would say to the lady or anyone else "do you want to read this book?" she will say "no" then u say "ok i do, so thanks for stopping by" if she happen to say "yes" the u say "sorry i am still reading it maybe i let you read it if u shut the hell up" i know its not a good advise but it may work. when ever i want to get out of this kind of people i always try to use polite words like " no speak no english" cos i dont anyway ;).
well it dint work out 2 good i went to a local place but i guess people could see in my face that i was not up for chatting and no one even dare to look at me. i guess i have one of the faces that says, stay away from me or i eat you ;), weird that i manage to get married, now i need to ask how did that happen ;)
LMAO! A book and headphones wasn't enough of a HINT for this lady? I think shes the one thats handicapped...shes suffering from STUPIDITY...lol. You handled it alot nicer than what I would have River...I would have told her to shut the F**K UP and leave me alone...lol.
thanks
