I dealt with a couple that I was proud of.
The first time I saw them was an object I talked to on the train. It was the line that went to/from the airport, so you get a broader class mix. The conversation was nice at first, friendly, there were jokes. Then it showed me the glasses-it was already wearing actual glasses so it explained what they were and started talking about capacity of the charging case thing. They were still a very new thing, I was tired and not as aggressive as I should have been, so when it took them out and said what they were I just said 'fuck you.', put on my best scowl, and walked away. When it came up I reached into my purse and gave it my best cold 'you want to get the fuck away from me.'. I left and switched cars at the next stop, and told people as I left that the guy at the other end is a glasshole as I left, in a way that was clearly just to them.
