I think the problem is people who won't take the hint to go away. (note: no more than a hint should be required. The onus should not be on the accostee to be impolite, even if it's justified.) Or who say they're going away, and then don't. That adds the pain of hope dashed. I guess sociable people can be forgiven for the initial intrusion, maybe even if it's inane, but then the onus is on them to be observant enough to to see it's unwanted. I repeat, the innocent victim should not have to suffer the stress of being rude.
My strongest contempt is for the few who are observant enough, but persist to indulge their sadistic tendencies.
