I disagree. In some situations it is necessary to be a little rude. I find that when I'm having problems with over the phone telephone support that the entry level person is there to tell you 'no' no matter what. Usually I need to get a little animated with them or their supervisor to get my way. Just the way it has to be sometimes.

I find it difficult at times to be polite to some people on the phone especially call center mentality.
I will give them the benefit of the doubt as i know they have undergone an extensive 10 minute course on how to deal with difficult customers, like the ones who want to cancel an account or ask for help.
My next step is to ask them if they have the authority to refund my deposit, if the answer is no then i tell them to get me someone who can.
I am not anti-call center, come to think about it, i am, i hate the snotty little oiks who keep me hanging on as it costs me money and time and in the end they haven't got a clue and have to call someone else to fix it anyway.
Am i polite? yes i always am until the trigger word "I'm sorry sir, i cant do that" Then all hell breaks loose.

A little off the subject, but I think everyone should work for six months behind the cash register, or on the other end of the phone. It would give everyone the knowledge of just how frustrating a long day can be, made worse by someone being rude. You can be polite and still get your point across. Usually.

I would disagree. I don't believe you should treat people the way they treat you all the time. It goes to the old saying of coming down to someone else's level. There will always be haters out there that will hate on you, so what, most of the time it doesn't bother me.

You should try to treat people with kindness always, but know when to get stern with people. I'm a very nice person and I can't remember the last time I was in an argument with someone. I speak to people with respect, even when I don't agree with them. I explain my side and my views, then I usually state what they are saying back to them to let them know that I do, in fact, understand what they are saying-I just don't agree.

We shouldn't let people walk all over us, but we don't have to steamroll over people to get our way or our points agree. A little graciousness goes a long way.

People should be polite in most situations. I can think of a few in which it would be difficult or not the best choice-- such as when someone is trying to influence another to a wrong action-- but most of the time, yes.

No, not always.
It certainly depends upon the situation.
For example, my ILs used the 'it's rude' card as a way to verbally abuse me for years until I finally realized that any right they have to me being polite was trumped by their behavior.

I also learned that being polite to them (or any other bully) merely gives the bully permission to keep being cruel. So now if someone is mean to me, I don't put up with it for one minute. I don't pitch a fit but I do say, "That's unacceptable and I don't have to take it. Good bye." Then I leave. There is nothing rude EVER about standing up for yourself and demonstrating that you have self respect. After all if you don't respect yourself, no one else will.

No way, I treat people the way they treat me. I believe in an eye for an eye. If their not nice to me then I am doubly not nice to them. I get my revenge on them double fold and I NEVER forget. There are people now that I will still get revenge on intil the day I die I will get them. So, look out, theres one person whos reading this now in particular that doesn't even know the wrath I have for her is waiting. There is more to come.

Yes. The whole philosophy behind turning the other cheek is not to add fuel to the fire. The person who is polite actually renders fire starting materials useless.
