Answer 1

normally I am polite and ignore the remark...but Later I think of all the things I 'should' have said back! but then I think about how that's not the right attitude to have and I don't wanna feel negative...but sometimes it's hard :) usually I forget about it

Answer 2

It depends entirely on the situation.

I generally am very slow to anger, but I usually do not let someone be rude to me on purpose without commenting on it. I have found that remaining calm and simply commenting on the rude comment, such as asking for clarification, usually diffuses the situation, or at least shames the other person into shutting up.

However, sometimes I ignore them completely. If they are being rude to get attention, such as at a gathering, I am likely to ignore them. I am also likely to ignore someone's rudeness when they are clearly just striking out and being stupid--it's usually clear to everyone within hearing distance that they have just made a fool of themselves.

I do think there is wisdom in not stooping to someone's level--no need to get down in the mud with them and look like a pig as well, is there?

When anyone is clearly and publicly rude to you, the best way to neutralise them is to smile as sweetly as you can at all the others around - as if you have heard a very nice joke ! Then you should politely nod to that person, and casually move away - to pick up a totally unrelated bit of conversation with someone else.
...If the person was rude in private, your best move would be to politely shrug your shoulders, and coolly walk away - using your body language to silently convey that you couldn't care less about this bout of rudeness...
Nothing is more humiliating to a rude person, than to learn that one's rudeness has just been ignored !

Honestly, it really depends on the situation. Most times, the person making the comments has something about them that just lacks class. Therefore, I don't have to work down to their level.

However, I once blew up at a women for making a rude comment. My sister worked in a clothing store in the mall and she use to get me discounts. Once on a busy Saturday, I went into the store, picked out some clothes and got in line to pay for them. My sister was having some trouble with the register she was working on. It turned out to be broken. She was on the phone with someone from the company, attempting to fix the problem.

The women standing in front of me made a rude comment about wanting to walk up to my sister and slap her, for being so slow and dumb. My sister is pretty and blonde, so of course, the sterotype.

I got really defensive and I went off on the women screaming that, that was my sister. The women then have the nerve to try to tell me that my sister wasn't doing her job. I couldn't believe, she would have the never to agrue me after she theartened to hit my sister. My sister was 17 at the time, and very young looking.

The women ended up leaving the store, and Ironically with her young son (about 14/15 years old). I wanted to walk up to the women and her son and ask her how she would like it, if I threantened to slap her son. But I refrained. I was so mad!

Answer 6

I only speak up if they've deliberatly said something rude to me. For instance: I was in San Francisco today and a guy made a comment about my Black Crows jacket and I responded with "Is there a reason why I should care what you think of Black Crows?" His response was something like "Uh....whaaat?"

Answer 7

Patience is the best virtue. Being patient in this situation not only is the best action you can take but it also shows anyone else around you who is the more put together one and who is the mistaken one. They will always get what they deserve in the end.

Answer 8

It depends on the situation: a stranger mostlikely, I will ignore. If I have to work with that person, I will give them a piece of my mind!

Try: "perdona flor si te he marchitado" if the person was "offended" by your question or answer.

Answer 10
