What do I do about this rude person?
A newish neighbor saw me bringing in some canning jars to my apartment, and asked me about it. I explained that I liked to do my own canning, that way I knew what went into my food and I could take advantage of the bulk rate/value pack deals since they really aren't designed for one person. When the person made a prepper comment, I laughed and said if was I trying to prep I'd be buying tons of toilet paper and soap to use as trade. Now everyone I see this person I get a prepper crack.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be prepared. I was in eastern NC during Floyd. I most definitely understand the importance of being prepared, especially when you live in hurricane country.
I'm getting tired of the cracks, but because nothing is actually being done, and it doesn't approach harassment, there's nothing the landlord can do. Any ideas?
@ J work on your reading comprehension. I didn't say I was prepping for a disaster. I said I canned because it allowed me to control what went into my food, and it allowed me to take advantage of bulk rate/value pack deals. Anyone who has lived alone should know the frustration of not getting the good price on something because you don't 8 pounds of it.
I have told the person that her joke is getting old, but some people can't get anything through their thick heads. I'm not the only she ticks off.

Easy button. Smile and keep moving on just as you did before she moved in.

Have you told the person that you don't like it? Don't just take it. Be serious when you tell them. If they are the right kind of person they will stop. If not then don't be offended, just understand that that person is really immature and it has nothing to do with you. Sometimes going along with the joke will surprise that person enough to stop.

Think you are being way too sensitive . To the person who made that half funny joke - it's odd to see someone canning and prepping when there aren't any disaster forecast

Let it go. They think they are being funny, just ignore them and keep moving. If you can act, purse your lips, roll your eyes and shake head no slightly like to say, "Oh you really think that funny?" Keep moving.

Tell them straight up, "That's not funny," with a serious face. Its that simple.
