In reply to Veena Sreekant. That'll work cool Veena, esp the sense of humor is an amazing defense. Thanks for the continued support Veena, always a pleasure to hear from you :)

In reply to anawnimiss. Thank you :). That's a nice assertion Ana, most people respond to strength and the moment they realize that you are strong, they dont come in the way and they go on picking up on someone else they could take advantage of. I guess that is why it is called pick on someone your own size!

In reply to Venkat Ramakrishnan. Thank you Venkat :). I agree, sometimes in that case nothing works better than ignorance. Too much of energy would be expended on such bullies and they really dont deserve it!

In reply to Bushra Muzaffar. Perfect Bushra, nothing better than ignorance sometimes. A bully when he realizes that there is no reaction is bound to stop sometime and sometime soon :)

Nice blog!

I have applied pretty much every way mentioned, but the sheer no. of people that I have to handle on a day-to-day basis on every step of my life just sucks the energy out of me.

Because, we are too huge in numbers:

I don’t take very kindly to bullying, to be honest. I was bullied all the time as a kid and was really meek. Now that I’m all grown up, I take the direct route: I see what you’re doing, and it’s not going to work, so stop. That seems to work all the time :-)

Look at the person bullying you and tell him or her to stop in a calm, clear voice. You can also try to laugh it off. This works best if joking is easy for you. It could catch the kid bullying you off guard.Great writing..
Good Day :)

In reply to Ratna. Thank you Ratna. I am yet to try the solution no.1 on someone. Somehow I haven't got the courage to do that yet :D . Banter aside, I guess the third one is one of the best solutions possible. We have to be assertive. Or else people will keep on taking advantage in the name of innocencce..

i am sure, all of us face the problem of people jumping the queue as stated by you. I apply solution no 3, given by you by telling them what is right. most of the time it works. If they don’t realize, I make it a point to tell the person behind the counter not to entertain such people.
