GO AHEAD, I'VE HAD A BAD DAY...
Ok, so I'm parking near where I work and CMA is going on. First, the machine tells me it's $30 instead of $10. All the while this wino wants to help me run the machine and then starts his spiel. Wrong guy, wrong day. I finally turned to him and loudly said to him "Get out of my face, go panhandle somebody else." He got indignant and started arguing with me at which point I told him to get lost. He did go away but it bothered me later that it didn't run through my mind anything defensive if it had gotten ugly. Old guy already inebriated but still... Fortunately he found me on a bad day and apparently my "I'll rip your face off" tone of voice was sufficient. I'm normally not as forceful but you know, "Get out of my face" in no uncertain terms is probably as good a response as any.
Catoosa would be proud.
