dealing with obnoxious people

There are times in our lives when we all have to deal with bullies- just because you're an adult doesn't mean that you don't or won't have issues with bullies. I've gotten to the point where I just say "I'm busy" or I've already got plans". I shut them down and refuse to be around people like that. I have every right to say "no, I don't want to be your friend" and I'm pretty frank on the subject.
