What can we do beside watching the train wreck coming straight at us in slow motion?

13. I can't think of a single lift ride that takes that long

And I don't get in one at all if I'll be the only woman in the lift.

I also don't like people, especially strangers, approaching me in public to harangue me about even political views I agree with, so I extend the same courtesy to others. If a stranger brings up such things to me, I cut them short and get as far away from them as possible. Because if I find it intolerably rude., and borderline menacing.

I don't think I'm alone in this.

If you must push your views in public, at least have the courtesy to set up a table or booth making it clear what you're on about, so nobody has to talk to you if they don't want.

Otherwise, please leave strangers alone in public. Is that really too bloody much to ask?
