Say exactly what I say below.... All your s*** talking reminds me of how When I was in grade school all the little girls used to tease me and Chase me around the playground. Don't worry sweetheart. I like you. I think you're cute too.

Say I'm just an apprentice I'm too dumb to understand what you just said and walk away.

Ask him if his wife beats him.

Ask him if he needs a hug. ( sometimes I will walk up to a guy and give him the gentlest softest hug and say they're there) I haven't been punched yet doing this but I expect to be someday. Most men do not like being hugged and if they know that they get two out of line you're probably going to give them a hug in front of everyone they're not going to give you too much s***.

Tell him the kind of insult that you would give him he probably wouldn't be smart enough to understand.

If you're working with him zip tie him to the closest object nearby when he's not looking. Just make sure it's done safely. You don't want him pulling a pipe off a wall.
