Do you ignore people misbehaving in public places?

i have to ignore them whom i do not know. those i know i might say something to her/him. if the person is known to have bad tempers, i will not even care to give her/him a glance. i do not how to manage fights and arguments. it is best to stay off.

there are so many people that do things they know very well better that they shouldn't be doing in the streets these days..if I tried to deal with them in my own way, I would never make it where I am going..there just isn't enough hours in the day to try to correct a person who is out acting a fool..I used to be all "thats not right, you shouldn't do that"...now, I am more like "if you are going to do that, do that over there so when the cops come it doesn't look like you are with me out here"

there are times when i don't have the courage to tell someone or correct someone in public who is misbehaving. i am not sure if that person might threaten me or scare me away. and i don't have so much confidence to defend myself. so, what i do is just avoid that person. but if the person is violating a rule or a law, i will just call the authorities or those who are responsible in taking care of the person.

I wish there's something we can do about it but ther's not so the best way to do is ignore them.

I'm a woman and certainly wouldn't go fighting with anyone misbehaving in public. I can understand that it can be irritating to see people littering around. But your action may lead you to more trouble in the future.

I will not say or do much a lot of times, but I will if I feel people are really crossing the line. I have asked kids why they throw garbage on the ground, and I have asked people nicely to please keep it down, or not act out close to me. If I do something I will always try to be as nice and as to the point as possible. Arguing never work for me in these situations. People just become defensive and mad.

Correcting or adivisng such people is like throwing a stone on liquid filth. It boomarangs on us. Best is to ignore them.

I can ignore or just make a polite notice. It`s a question of our personal culture and maniers how to behave on public places. And sometimes my ideas for good maniers are not the same as the ideas of the person. So...it`s better to ignore except if he really does something schoking or dangerous.

I tend to ignore these type of people. It can only cause harm and problems. And I have enough in my life now to just ignore these riduculous types of people. Maybe someday they will wise up and learn.

Most of the time, I complain on such cases. And I find that such complaining is quite effective! But certain types of persons are there to make quarrel with me on such occasions. This is due to their ignorance and narrow self. Thanks.

You do have to be careful when you do this sort of thing, although you think it should be OK to reprimand someone whose behaviour you don't approve of, you must know that not everyone is going to take kindly to being told off by you. You say you have been involved in fights over this and I hope tht for your sake you mean verbal and not physical but you should be aware that you might say something to the wrong person one day and find yourself in a physical fight and you might end up being badly hurt or worse.

no ,I can not ignore these bad behaviors.for example,when I learn in our study room,there are always someone who have chat in the room,then I can not concentrate on my study,and I am disturbed by their murmur.I do not know how others stand them,but I can not.so I will criticize them to stop them disturbing others.

i just ignore bad behaviour not worth getting self into trouble for what strangers do

hi friend, i usualy object such acts , try to explain them not to repeat such things again and i can argue with them. if they accept there mistake that means, they will not repeat it. other wise i will leave them alone, i can't fight with every body. but yes if we tell them nicely, most of them will not repeat. thats the i will try to resolve the issue and also avoid fighting and my day to become bad.

I always have fights as well, bad drivers, people who steal off the salad bar etcetcetc, it's never ending, I'd love to be a hermit.

I try not to get involve with people like that when I am out and about. Because they are always everywhere and I don't like to get caught in the middle of anything like that at all.

I tend to watch lol only because it's interesting. But I agree that it is immature and stupid.

it really depends on what they're doing..i usually don't get involved though-you never know if the people might get really agressive and attack you. i would just call the police if it were really bad and let them handle it.

I don't ignore it, but neither do I fight about it. I let someone know when their behavior is unacceptable and let go at that. If I was to cause an argument of a fight I would consider that unacceptable as well. Bad behavior cannot be corrected with more bad behavior.

Well you should be commended for taking a stand against littering and misbehaving in public places, it's a shame that people even need to be reminded of this bad behavior,I think that more people should take a stand against this public misbehavior, and we wouldn't have as bad of a society! We ourselves have brought this upon us!
