Snoozin posted this before in the summer house That's how I know of it.

It won't work in Egypt. Men could beome physically vilolent if you did this.

Besides, you would never have enough phone memory for all the bastards!!

Answering in Arabic will only make it worse.
They will get even more "hostile" as I'd like to call it.

Answering in your own language, with an angry tone, is a very good idea. I now feel comfortable to swear in Dutch so I guess I should try it next time I get harassed.

In my case I suddenly freeze and take a swift turn towards them and give them an abviously such a horrible stare that makes many of them run away in tears

My stare is my trade mark

Ignoring them is no more an option. I wouldn't be surprised if a civil war starts in Egypt between angry women and those cancers.
