Kiss them on the nose.

Believe me, this actually startles the other person enough for you to defuse the situation.

It's never happened to me. I would probably ignore them and walk away.

Don't like saliva showers, awkward when cornered

I would probably shrink back then curl into a ball until the person is gone. Once they´re gone, I would probably cry.

Shoot that happened a lot when I was in the US Army. When I was a Private, Drill Sergeant yelled at me. And then when I made rank and became a Platoon Sergeant, I yelled back! :) lol

I punch them hard and sharply in the throat. Then while they are busy trying to breath, I walk away.

exactly eight inches, or more like seven and a third? depends on what she's shouting about, i suppose.

There isn't a ton you can do but try to get your word in. If you can't walk away.

i'd yell back at first, then i'd calm it, then i'd walk away if the person is simply brick-walling everything.

Depending upon who it is-sometimes I yell back and sometimes I act stupid and say, "What???"

Seriously why would even let them get that close? Being that close they're just asking to get hit.

Tell them your no ones verbal punching bag. If they have a problem they can talk to you like an adult - At work.

Pepper spray them in the eyes - in the community

Only if it stays at yelling. Loud long winded people don't bother me that much.

back up, ask them what their problem is, and proceed from there

Depends on who is yelling. If somebody I don't know does that, then it's on. But somebody I know, I would see what the problem is, and see if they want to resolve it maturely or physically.

Back before I had kids.....headbutt them as hard as I can then grab their head and knee them in the face XD Now I've calmed down.....only way I wouldn't walk away from a fight is if they were hurting my family.
