 Okay, I admit that I am a certified member of the aggressive, pushy b-tch
club.  I sometimes get really fed up with people lifting up clothing to
peek at baby (yes, this has happened many times to me) or the infamous
while nursing in my car with tinted windows (in a medical center parking
lot for my baby's 2 week check up) and someone knocks on the window to tell
me what they think of my nursing.  Maybe it's because I'm 5'2" or maybe I
wear a sign that says "come and harrass me." So, after hearing me rant for
a long while with our first child, my witty 6'1" husband came up with a
winner for our second nursling and actually said it to someone:
"Oh, you poor thing.  You must have been so deprived as an infant and
child.  Would you like to try some?"

Yes, it's rude; but let the response be proportionate to the intrusion.
Needless to say, we had quite a laugh.  Not the response for everyone, but
great for a reaction.
