My mom’s technique in the family dime store was kind of like that except that she had a way of saying insulting things in a sweet tone of voice that were too subtle for the vast majority of raging loonies to understand. She learned it from being a nurse.
Yep, I did this too. My favorite (and a favorite of coworkers to watch) was to gently put my hand on their arm, look at them sincerely, and say in the most sickening sweet voice “Oh, I am so sorry. I sure hope I didn’t ruin your whole entire day!”. OMG, they would get so PO’d, but they knew I beat them. My coworkers in the background, holding their mouths, trying to cover their laughs. IT was beautiful! ; )

nice trick but it needs patience – and a strong body just in case of being beaten up

Nothing will drive a bitter crabby ol’ bat nuttier than effusive sweetness. They eventually pop and melt into a smoldering pile of bile.

Never let them hook you to bring you down to their level. They yell to get a response…..don’t take the bait.
