Yeah, laying off potential, mild insults seems to work too. If they say i'm weird, a nerd, a geek, a freak, or that i'm scaring them, I always reply with a little cheerful "Thank you!". They just give me the 'wtf?' stare and they leave me alone. Surefire plan. JUst don't use it on harsher phrases that could backfire on you.
