my favorite reaction to remarks that offend me is to look the person up and down and say quite sweetly, "why in the world would you say (ask) that.?" and walk away. I then deal with it much like you by refusing said person any more of my time, energy, money or attention.

Doing the right thing
Well sure, if you are in a walk away situation. Easily done at a party or a function. I'll be damed if someone sitting at MY kitchen table saying offensive things in MY HOUSE, being interviewed to take MY money will cause me to walk away from MY territory. No way. Originally Posted by marni

saying no is hard at times but its something we have to do. And thank you for standing up to such stupid comment. Maybe the partnership will break and the contractor you talked to will find himself a professional builder who is enlightened.
Thank you,
