I don't think you should ever get aggressive or complain. Why make yourself feel bad?

And why would option c) make you frustrated and angry?

You can be firm without being mean. You can tell him how you feel, and show him that you want him to leave you alone, without insulting him.

Why upset both yourself and him when there are alternatives?

There are more challenges here than just getting him to stop annoying you. You can also learn how to influence people effectively, without creating more tension. Ask yourself, can you get the message across to this guy in a way that doesn't upset you, but also makes him think about what he's doing, both to you, and other people?

But hell, that's what I think you should do, but it's your life. Punch him in the face if you want, that'll probably work too...
