I guess the definition of "nuisance" would influence my response to them (and to you) .... and if they were more than a solo .... or very big .... etc etc

I agree with rockylizard - what is annoying to one person may not be to another - each instance would have to be taken on its merit at the time I think.

Glad to hear your "nuisense" has moved on Dawa. Now you can get back to enjoying your peaceful existence. Some men still seem to think they know everything and that a woman always needs their help. Get Real!!!
Cheers!

like constantly on yr door step with all kinds of negativity.
like always saying what you need etc etc.
i told him i didn't need his negativity........hehas moved
men who are so adamant in telling women how we are all doing it wrong.
Sounds like you handled that right Dawa. Nothing worse than someone being that annoying and persistant when you just want some peace. i would have done the same.
If you're like me you'd rather be asked than told. Ask me if I need help, support etc, but don't tell me what I need. I mentioned to a couple of other pilots how my tool box has come in very handy during truck break downs. One of the grumpy old men said, "Do you know what the tools are for?" RED RAG TO A BULL!!!!! I politely, and calmy responded, "I wouldn't have the tools if I didn't know I needed them and how to use them." It took a lot of restraint but I was very polite, and then walked away, or I may have been more confrontational. Some blokes offer chivalry above and beyond the call of duty, or need. I don't think they mean any harm, but it can be a nuisance. You can turn it to your advantage by enlisting his assistance with something you really would need help for. It's best not to show any confrontation or aggression, as this could ignite an unpleasant reaction. Just be polite, and if necessary find something else to do away from your van until the nuisance shifts. Don't get too defensive. Most of the time the actions are well intended, but maybe a little misguided. Relax and make the most of the situation. Don't encourage the "nuisance", but be politely careful when rejecting the offers of assistance.

in answer to your question I would switch off his power and then cut his power lead in half and very quickly run inside to look out of the window, wombats can be nasty.
Get Real!!!
