How do you deal with rudeness?
I'm not asking you to tell me how to deal with it, it's just that today I am getting an awful lot of people on the phone who are seriosuly starting to get on my nerves so I am dealing with them in an offhand manner and with an air of exasperation at their utter stupidity. Do you generally get rude back to them or do you dismiss them altogether?
|
Hand gestures and veiled sarcasm.
|
how long have you been living in london?
|
and fuck you btw.

Depends. I was almost run over by a redneck's pickup truck a few weeks back. I yelled and called him an asshole and gave him the finger.
I was given the snob treatment by an obviously bored store clerk. I smiled and tried to make small talk, because I knew it would irritate her even more. Sometimes rude works for me, sometimes just the opposite. I have no set prescriptions for anything. Almost everything I do in this crazy little thing we call life is situational. Oh, yeah... Fuck you, Porkie! And have a nice day! :) |
So sarcastic, you are.
Edit - to the orange thing. |
Depends on the situations really, but it involves becoming a little rude back.
Usually just saying something loudly to my friend about how much of an asshole someone else is. |

Right, back to work. Fuck your good day too. |
I usually speak back, that's my self-defense. But it depends. Once I spoke back to a big tough dude in a pub that was insulting me and it was a big mistake. I ended up with a face full of bruises.

most brits are a bunch of rude people that claim to be civilized.

The worst person I ever worked with was a Brit, I'm sorry to say. The meanest, most manipulative, back-stabbing, cold bitch I've ever dealt with. She was not a an ambassador of international goodwill, let me tell you. |

You're all becoming old so damn fast.
Back on topic, I usually don't care much for rudeness. I've a thick skin. |

Jico, I have to say that what you've posted was both rude and offensive, but then I also know that you are a complete provocative internet idiot, so it doesn't matter. The vast majority of English people tend to be well-mannered and friendly, and I would know this as a foreigner. The sort of people that I am talking about are filthy rich and bored of themselves etc, but the vast majority of them are ok. It's just that today 3 out of 4 people seem to be in a foul mood.
|
Okay, I'll admit to being in a foul mood. Who are the other two and who's the cheery bugger?

yes, i was acting like a brit, on purpose. |
Contempt is the only way to deal with rudeness, as far as I am concerned. Or like my mum says: ''Good manners are used by those who have them and not by those on the receiving end''. Fuck all of you, I'm off for a fag.

the slits thread. i say something completly normal and you start acting all superior like if you never had used that expression before. |
your snobisms and lessons of superiority disgust me.
|
Your disgust is of no interest to me.
|
yes because you are so much superior.
|
for people on the phone, I find that killing them with ultrakindness really makes their rudeness look stupid....that is until they get REALLY rude, then I usually do the whole "I'm sorry ma'am-sir, but I'm not required to take yr abuse". *click*
when the wife's being rude, I just punch her in the face. this happens everyday. |
hello Nef. :)
what's a nice girl like you doing in a rude thread like this? |

Pimpin' is easy. |

The only seriously rude people on the phone are the ones who are obviously disturbed. I only got one complete arsehole on it a few months back - when I picked up the phone this guy went: '' DO YOU WANT MY CUSTOM, YOU FUCKING CUNT???''. Did I laugh? A lot. It must have been Glice. |
in my business, I deal with a lot of sleep deprived assholes. they think that everything is free, and I have to tell them otherwise.
it's the old people that I dislike the most. they are even ruder than my wife. me? I'm not rude at all. I'm trude. that's when you mix rudeness with the truth. |
Quote:
can you give girlfun lessons on being polite, please? if she acted like you, I'd never have to chain her to the radiator. |
consider me gasping.
|
I was rude to my boss without him knowing. I looked at him and thought to myself: ''What a cunt''.
|
Another good way of dealing with rudeness is imagining the person who is being rude to you as talking while naked.

what gives you the right to call me that? |

Why do you not just give it a break, now? You are getting a little tedious. Awright? |
Quote:

It's more likely that I'd make him cry blood tears. |
