If they are worth your time tell them off, don't beat around the bush just tell them they are a jag off and get on with your day. If they are not worth it walk up to them and say "honestly if I had the time I would tell you how much of an a**hole you are, but you are too insignificant to pencil you in my schedule"

Generally, you don't have to deal with it.
If it's a friend or family, you tell them openly and honestly and with love in your heart what you are feeling. If they care, they will respect you. (I have a married brother who brought his girlfriend to my house and I refused to socialize with her and he took it personally. I explained that I could not reconcile her presence in my home while he was still married and I could not, in good conscience be around her. I told him that I loved him and that I tolerate her presence only because he was my brother and that was all he could expect of me. It was supremely RUDE to bring her to my home. I didn't speak to her and I forbade my son to speak to her. She had no right to be there and I wouldn't allow my brother's poor decisions influence my son, whom I told the truth about the situation)
If someone else is getting harassed in my presence and I observe that person being distressed, I will put myself between the two in a friendly way without being obvious about it so that the person has a chance to escape if they wish to. I don't otherwise get involved.
If it's anyone else, I simply ignore them or find a way to escape without confrontation.
good luck!

I consider the source and figure if I really want to give control to a person like that over how I react.

People like that do it for the power and attention. Ignore them and you rob them of both. That usually takes the wind out of their sails.

Ask yourself what would Jesus do?
What would He say?
Kill him with kindness, you know "OH, I'm sorry you feel like being mean today, I'll come back when you feel better."
Or, " Wow, feeling proud of yourself or what, my God told me to let other people boast for me, not myself. But to each his own (COCKY WAY), I guess.:o["
Just the good ole fashioned " AWWWN I love you too man."
And annoying & lewd - "Later dude, I've learned not to hang out with riotous companions, good luck on your (lonely)spiritual journey man"- He won't know how to respond.:o]

Kill them with kindness. That will make them feel like crap if they continue to act the same way.

treat him or her like a pile of dog $hit. do you stop and talk to a pile of &hit? do you really take time to look at a pile of $hit? hopefully you don't talk to a pile of $hit. it's the best way. trust me.
