...I feel speechless @ having to deal with a strange habit pattern I've found common among the 55+ year-old "A" male population here: according to this established behavior of theirs, they seem certain in the belief that if you ignore a certain something, then it will go away, it does not count!!!!! It does not seem to occur to them how rude and disrespectful they are being - let alone ignorant of basic a global manner code. Their attitude does not embarrass them either, oblivious of the existence of anything else other than their own belly-button wrapped up in some disposable excuse. In comparison, it's like me, coming from a place where animals such as elks and moose do not exist and not wanting to accept and acknowledge that they are NOT mere bambies with trees growing on the top of their heads, just because once I had superficially met Walt Disney during my childhood.
There is a HUGE difference.
Refusal and denial of certain things increases and intensifies their power...
Hahaha!
