i agree with the post below from liz

my wife explains it patiently to people
people it has to be said, with a slightly hurt look on their face

'you have to understand' she will try to explain 'it's a good thing that he just appeared to be rude to you, while getting a laugh at your expense, if he doesn't talk to you or acknowledge you then you haven't even appeared on his radar'

or the slightly less comforting ...
'oh don't be offended it isn't personal he speaks to everybody like that'

you see, i am so misunderstood, i have people who clean up after me, appeasing and offering small crumbs of comfort
