Hello All, I just want to know what is your reaction or what will you do if someone talk or act rudely towards you? Will you do the same or you just ignore that person so that the issue won't get big and just move on with your life like nothing happen to you? Please share with me and the rest here.

Hello dakiss, I try not to care if I encounter one. Like you, if they are a total stranger to me, I will just ignore. The problem is that, the one that I am facing now is a colleague of mine *sighs* It is a bit hard if you want to ignore this person and see his/her face every single day.

Hey, Well for me, many people have been rude with me and I personally don't really do anything. I just try and ignore them, because I know that something is wrong with them, I just let them get annoyed with themselves. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Hello EliteUser, Thank you for your response. Due to my work, I meet many kind of people every day. I get used with rude answers, rude people and etc. But when I am not in a good mood, that is really something that I want to avoid. I can be rude as well but in my opinion, if I act as rude as those who're rude to me, there is no difference between me and them.

Sometimes I just walk away from them and do not say anything. There are other times that I will tell them what I think too though. I stay away from them after that also.

Hello stephcjh, Glad to see you here *smiles* How I wish I don't have to see them anymore. Unfortunately, they are people around me, always around me but not that close to me. I hope I can be patient and just ignore them!

Hi gr8life! If someone talks to me rudely, I'll not react and try to remain calm. I know that losing my temper or patience will not help. I would also like him/her to become calm and peaceful, before I could put forth my point of view. If anybody's rude to me, it is a reflection on his/her character not on me.

Hello dpk262006, Yes, you are right. Sometimes, it is just hard for me to ignore them unless they are total strangers to me. I hate when I have to encounter rude people as they always spoil my good day *sighs*

Sadly, my answer will be I will just ignore that person so that the issue won't be big and just move on with my life like nothing happen to me and worst, when that person in trouble, I will offer help or if that person ask for my help, I will help. I wish I could be more outspoken and bad, revenge to that person, but I guess I'm not that kind of person.

Hello ucue2008, You are such good person! I can ignore them if I don't know them. I can ignore the rudeness if it happens once. But if it happens many times from the same person whom I know, I think I can't just sit still and keep quiet. I don't know... I just hope I don't have to encounter rude people too often in my life and I know, it is quite impossible though... *sighs*

I will talk to them straight forward and try to find out what's going on. but if she/he insist, then either i stay away or run and find the nearest police station. but if rudes comes with words only i would just walk away..

Hello LetranKnight25, I hate rude people! I don't know how to cope with this type of people. Like you said, if they are rude with words, I won't worry too much. Once a while, I should do the same too! But if rude comes with words and action, that is a big issue to me!

With me it will depend on the person and the situation. In some cases I will just ignore as if I heard nothing, or I was not offended. Sometimes I would not let the person know that their action offended me, especialy if I know they wanted me to be offended. In that way, they get no stisfaction because there was no reponse. In other cases, especialy if the person does not realise they aer rude, I would point it out in such a manner that the person realise it and learn from it. I would not engage in confrontation where I end up looking like a fool, or make someone else look like a fool. I vote for peace - live and let live - forget about the bad, remember the good and just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. Blessings

Hello Beertjie, I like your attitude. Thanks for sharing and maybe, I should try to act like you whenever things like this happen in future. It is hard to ignore when they are people around you like colleagues or close friends. For strangers, I don't bother too.

It really depends on my mood... when i feel cranky and someone is rude to me... i will definitely be rude to that person two... but with three times the intensity... but when i feel laid back or lazy... i will just ignore the person... and this is usually what i do... since i think it is of no use to i will give that person the benefit of my attention... But nowadays... since there is only me in the office... no one is ever rude to me... even when i go to the city for a meeting with my boss... so my work life is okay... but sometime boring...

Hello aseretdd, Thanks for dropping by. I try not to offend others or being rude to them but at times, it is just hard to keep your hot tempered aside especially when you tend to ignore the rudeness and the other party trying very hard to make you hot!

Hello gr8lige, Well i give others what they give me. If someone is good with me then i am also good with them. And if someone is bad with me then i am also bad with them. And i won't let anyone go easily by doing something bad with me. I make that person regret if someone does something bad with me. I think making that person regret is the best lesson for that person. Have a nice day.

Hello darksorrow, I try not to be rude to others, doesn't matter who they are to me. If they are a total stranger, I don't care too cause I only see them once, maybe. But if they are people around you, it is hard to just ignore. Once, it might be alright but if it is just too many times, I don't think I have that patience.
