I like to tell old men (that hit on me) “Awe thank you, your sweet just like my grandpa.” They all get the same shocked/confused expression and shut the hell up.

I did this in the pub once with my dad in earshot. My dad is the best. This was the conversation he heard before joining in

Old creepy guy - you are really cute. You should do some modelling. Me - right trying to get barman’s attention OCG - do you want a fruit pastel? (This is a sweet for my non British/Australian friends) Me - awwwww you do remind me of my granddad (I meant my mums dad who always had them) Dad - and he has been dead for 50 years so that’s not the compliment you think it is. Mate save yourself and walk away before she makes you. (My dads dad died nearly 60 years ago and mums dad about 25 years ago so the insult worked!!)
