I understand about 60-70% of what they say.  Do I ask them to slow down?

I have a speech problem, and trust me... you need to ask them to repeat themselves.\n\nI talk way too fast sometimes, and I never realize it. Sometimes I say the first few words of a sentence so fast that people don't understand it. I always appreciate it when they tell me, because once I slow down they can understand me. \n\nIf you just don't say anything, they won't know that they're doing anything wrong. \nDon't be afraid to be blunt, it shows them that you care about what they have to say.

Don't bother trying to talk sense with them.They have a need to be always right,no matter how actually wrong they may be.

I think that you should stop them before they get seriously hurt. They can work it out by talking it over.

Yes, slow down...but be sure to allow them to pass.  I've also found it helpful to turn on my emergency flashers.  It gets their attention without your having to do much.  \n\nWhere I live it's not the best idea to flip someone off while driving.  Danger Will Robinson!

Well, Quiet,\n It seems to me that the majority of people here are 20's and below. Their lifestyle has always included instant, within-seconds types of responses. Everything happens at the speed of light, so they ask the question, give it a minute, check the answer then move on to IMing their friend or whatever electronic, flashy toy they're playing with.\n This is meant with no disrespect, its just that they do their thing, get the info they need, and move on. You can tell that they're in a rush, as half of the questions asked are in shortened form, or some kind of electro slang that's popular with the kids now. I mean, if you can't take 5 minutes to properly spell and grammatically check your question, do you really think that they'll be back to give you a rating?\nMy opinion on the issue.\nCheers !!

yeah use it as an ice breaker. Say have you heard the silliness? if he says MPH and walks off, you got your answer. if he chats to you you got your answer, whthout risking too much.

just tell him to slow down and that you aren't very comfortable doing whatever right now.

Ask in a subtle way. Get it straight from him/.Sometimes you cannot believe half what you see or hear.

go up to them and say something on lines of: 'excuse me, i don't mean to be rude, but i was wondering whether it would be possible and considerate of you to turn down the volume'. if however they refuse, or become aggressive, try not to get into a slanging match. but with some kids nowadays who are rude enough to answer back  in a disrespectful way  it is so difficult to avoid. tell the driver when you're on the bus the situation you're dealing with here. if he does nothing, tell him you'll take the matter further with london transport. get off the bus and get on an alternative one. \n\ni wouldn't have to guts to tell them to their face because i am not very good with confrontation and i worry about getting the crap beaten out of me afterwards. it annoys me too. i listen to my music on the bus but i always keep the volume down and still be able to hear my music.  besides, i don't understand those who have the voume up so high on the mp3s, ipods or whatever that every passenger on the bus or tube can hear it. its as if they're a) deaf or b) they stupidly think everyone wants to hear their music

Try not to listen to what they say and ignore their comments as much as you can. The less you talk and act like you have time for them, then the more they will get the picture. Set an example for them on how one should be. They just might learn something from you indirectly.

It IS hard to say, or in my case, stop saying: answererererer

First ask them questions like how many minutes in a year, then try to confuse them with statements about how they shouldn't answer the question. Ask a few more like that, then if their mind seems confused: do the shiny pocket watch in an arc thing and see how it goes. Simple minds with less physcologial and mental barriers who trust easily should be your "targets". Or get a degree in advertising and learn how the masses are hypnotised into buying stuff they don't want. And really, why do you want to force people to do what you want them to do anyway?

Pretend that you got it from them. That'll shut em up.

Keep giving them the same answer, which in your case, is NO.  They are trying to break you down into changing your mind by keeping asking you the same thing.\n\nIf you continue to say no and mean it, they should get the hint.  Oh and don't forget to add a little detail into it, like saying: I already told you NO and that is my final answer, I don't want to do that and I am NOT going to do it, my mind is not going to change!

They are telling you what they think you want to hear. Don't fall for it. You are not helpless! God bless

I'm not doing much to make people understand them, because I'm not interested in spreading my point of view. If you ask, I answer, and my politeness will depend much on the tone of the request.

It can get messy. Best thing I can say is take it slow.
