How do you handle rude people?

Answer 1

I try to not let them have their way too often. It is good for them to know that they are not the only dare you kind of people in the world.

As a matter of fact if someone is complaining and just plain old making all manner of stupid commotion over some picky thing,(this is the ultimate in rudeness to me) and I find out it bothers them I will do it all the more to see if I can make them leave.
Who needs somebody who can't bend a little bit and let the world have its own way of flowing.

I also hate the rudeness of standing in line and the people in front of me know the cashier or teller and they are visiting about a personal matter and letting everyone behind them shift from foot to foot and if you are supposed to be somewhere at a certain time they are causing you to be late. I used to just smile and wait and not say anything, now that I am a grown up and know that they are absolutely the ones in the wrong, I will say ma;am excuse me is there someone else you could call to open another register or pehaps you could take a break now and visit, while another person checks us out. I have things to do today and I do not know who these people are you are talking about, but I do know I have to pick up my kids in about 5 minutes and I am now late because of you and this other person chatting.

They get red in the face and either call someone else or they get rid of the relative before I have the chance to get management over there.

Answer 2

I remind them that I am a human being, worthy of respect, and I don't deserve their treatment. If they continue to be rude, I know that I don't want them in my life, and I sever all connections. Heck, there are more nice people in the world than rude. I'm sure they would value your friendship. These other guys have problems in their lives that have made them so obnoxious. Be aware that they are insecure. You are not a psychiatrist, so don't try to change them. You'd just bring yourself down.

Answer 3

Point out the simple fact that they are rude and obnoxious, without being rude and obnoxious yourself. They will feel belittled and less likely to repeat the behavior, in my opinion.

Answer 4

Depends what mood i'm in..most of the time i'll be rude back...and if not..i just tell them to buzz off before they get somethin' started

Answer 5

first let me say no one is exempt from rude behavior. when i'm rude my conscience lets me know and i have to check myself. when its someone else, i'm likely to ignore it unless its right in my face. nothing is cut and dry...it depends on the situation. if a good friend was being rude, i would call it to his/her attention and i hope he/she would do the same for me.

Answer 6

Most times just ignoring them will do it. They are craving attention and if they don't get the attention they want, they will leave you alone or move on to someone else.

Answer 7

confront them about it.....and if they actually care then they will apologize and try to stop...but if they dont care and they are just being rude cause they want to be.....then I ignore them.....they arent worth the time

Answer 8

Make them reap what they sow. Embarras them in public you know, point out them being an asshole

Answer 9

i usually ask them why they are talking to me in that manner, and if it makes them feel better to do so...they usually stop at that point if not i am usually sweet as honey and provide them with no help at all

Answer 10

I ignore them. That's the best way because it makes them look really stupid.
