Better to ignore a pia, or tell them to their face.

What do you think. Ignore calls, and emails from them, or just pick up the phone, and flat out tell them, to leave you alone?
I don't like to hurt feelings, but there are certain relationships that just don't work out for those involved.

is it your mom, a customer, an annoying schoolmate that you've been trying to lose for 20 years, an ex-girlfriend, a neighbor, a sweet, needy old lady?

Do they always want to borrow money and never pay it back? Do they just want to hang out and you don't enjoy hanging with them?

more info...

Depends on the craziness level of the involved party.

Yea, and how much of a pain are they on a scale of 1 to 10.

We have one guy that drops by here every once & a while. He is NOT a customer and is just an strange dude. Whoever is nearest the back door will go out, and drive away. Then they call the office with a "emergency" and we lock the front door, put the phones on call foreword and bail out. The dummy must think we are part of a bomb squad, every time he comes over there is a major emergency and we all leave.

Sorry to break it to you, but you're stuck with them until they're 18.

When I was in college, there was a wack-a-doodle (mid-late 20's) that would ride his bicycle around wearing a Star Trek (Wrath of Khan) Uniform. The guy in the mini-grocery store across the street bore the brunt of it...
