Smoking cigars usually works.

I call it “Karen repellent”.

Cigars are not an option for me but it sounds like a plan. :)

I have just learned to tell people "No" and when they ask "why not" I just answer "Because. Now go away."

The more you try to comply or explain the worse it always goes for you because they are looking to make trouble.
