Or these days you can also just cough a couple of times. That person will let go of your arm in no time ;-).

Agreed. Social distancing for the win. Haha

Very interesting. What technique would you offer for those times when sighted people grab hold of a cane or guide dog?

That’s a little more challenging. Be firm and tell them no thank you. If they still don’t listen might have to resort to more serious tactics

Ask them nicely a few times, if they refuse, punch them. I know people don’t like that, but it gets results.
