We all know that mylot consists of many nice and wonderful people, i think it mylot itself that put us in that mood. but let's talk about the rudest.
I know this one person, he is very well educated and i guess that's what makes him think he is above all others. He hired a few people to clean his office the other day, from the new carpets to cleaning the air condition areas. And as i sat there, my mouth started falling to the things he started saying to these poor workers. I felt so bad for the poor workers. they made a few mistakes, but they did not deserve to be insulted so. I hate that, these people are humans too, they don't want to do this kind of work either, but they have too, at least they are earning a respectable money. I hate guys who talk rudely to waiters or workers lower than himself. I can't stand them. This guy is so proud because he has high education and a really good job, but isn't education supposed to make people wiser? I thought education was supposed to lessen barriers, between peoples, between countries, between races.
there are some very nasty people around, know anyone in particular?

This is how the world is dex, it is sad but true, we can't really do much about these people, they won't change and they won't stop their arrogance, those workers probably didn't get a chance to earn better probably because they didn't have money for education at that time or due to their family background but we all are the same, same opportunity given then we all can stand at the same level, but some people don't think that way, all they think is that they are great and are more respectable human beings. . . deprive them of their money and they would fall back to the ground, they wouldn't crave for respect they would cry for happiness!

Oppurtunities... that's a good way of describing it. They do crave respect, but they don't respect anyone else. Someone who respects those below him, earns instant respects in my eyes.
When i see these kind of people, i reflect at myself, hoping that in no way i am like them.

I don't know of anyone in particular on MyLot, but anyone who is condescending to others and feels "above" them is definitely a jerk in my book. And it lowers my opinion of them, for sure. Anyone who feels the need to act or speak (or type, too) in condescending manners is just plain annoying. The fact is that we're ALL human, no matter the race, wealth, amount of education, religious beliefs, job...It's ridiculous that people continue to believe they're of "higher status" than anyone else just because of these stupid, small aspects of our lives that make us different.
I get this a lot at work. I work as a cashier at a dry cleaners, I'm in college, 19..And it's apparent that these guys (and girls, too) with their "high profile careers" look down on me (and talk to me like I'm stupid, mainly, or act extremely rude to me, or just in general act like they're better than me!) and it's just annoying. I'd like to deck them all in the face..But I would probably lose my job if I did that. haha.

I know what you mean, there is no way dealing with this kind of people. but i just wish that someone one day will show them, all this 'high mighty' things they think they are is not true. its people like you who actually stand these people, and don't deck them as you so charmingly put it, haha, are better than them. I just can't stand em. i respect you for not saying anything back, i would, (and usually do) stand up to these people. cant say it has done me a lot of good. hahaha.

Recently I encountered with a rude person during my bus journey last month.It was a night journey and the rude one is seated next to me.I was having my left hand in the common hand rest of the seat.So,this person is putting his right hand on my left hand as if pretending in sleep.I resisted as if he was doing without conscious.But I had to remove my hand.Then lately he tried to occupy the full hand rest which i tried to oppose.The sleeping person rose out of his pretense and complained me to be dominating.I was stunned to see a rude remark.I strongly told him to share the hand rest and either of us had no full benefit.This he had to surrender.But until now,I am wondering how he pretended to sleep and tried to force himself.I hate that idiotic behavior.Cheers!

totally. but look on the bright-side, you will never see him again. haha. And you probably didn't change your seat because you did not want to hurt his feelings? I was on a long trip on a train, beside me this chinese lady started eating something really smelly, i could stand the smell, but i didn't change my seat, i didn't want to hurt her feelings... sat there for 5 hours smelling that awful thing.

Well i think and follow one thing in my life that is nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so.I think each one of us is rude, selfish, greedy, jealous.Because we are human beings, apart from this in my life i think the rudest person i ever met in my life is my dad. no more comments over this but i feel really sad for it.

Archie0, i respect you for not saying anything about your own father. To be honest, I feel the same way, I guess I've seen my father in his worst moments. And you are right, we are humans, and we have flaws, but i believe when seeing these kind of people, we should reflect on ourselves, and repair our flaws, that's what i try to do.

There's one stuck-up co-employee of mine who is the boss' wife. She tends to have that know-it-all-can't go wrong attitude. she thinks she is always right and always insist her way. What's so obnoxious and ridiculous about her is she calls for a meeting and let everyone speak up and make recommendations and suggestions but you know what she just shuts you down. What's the point of letting people speak if you dont want to listen at all right?
She never motivates people and she seems to enjoy berating and tearing people down especially in front of others.
And to think of it, something goes wrong she insists its not her fault and lays the blame on others. She is also very manipulative and she always blackmails the boss.
To top it off she suffering from halitosis that every time there;s a meeeting, everyone covers their noses.
funny how she never seem to sense that people hate her. She has a nice job title and all those honorable credentials but people around her see her a a dirt.

first female story we heard. hehe. i was starting to think only guys are like that. Does her husband even know this about her? that's terrible. One thing's clear, when these rude people work, they will never admit something is their fault. I wish i never meet these kind of people anymore, I've been around one for too long.

too many rude people I met I don't think there is a way to pick the rudest
and yes a few of them are educated, well at least they make it sound like they have read every book on earth
but if you read or hear what they say, you see they know nothing about life
they have life experiences that they never learn from and they cling so tightly to those big words they read from books
many people can see what they are missing, but they actually tell these people off with all the f reaking theories they have read (who knows if they understand them or not, LOL and I couldn't care less either)
doesn't it sound funny to you? that both life and school teach us lessons and these people only learn the ones from school?
I'm not bothered replying to people like these if I meet them
I let life does what it does best, teaching them through hardship
I won't spend too much of my precious time for people like that I have too many things to do sorting out finances, trying to be pregnant, helping hubby with his business and mine. In this economy, I have to really manage my time don't I?

this doctor and that guy i was talking about sound like brothers. hahaha. but this guy is like this only with people lower than him. with his bosses he is very well behaved. which is really annoying, because then he makes everyone think he is a wonderful person. I just wish, his bosses knew what kind of person he is.

I've run into rude people in restaurants and so on, but I don't know anybody who's very rude without being sorely provoked.

Everywhere there are rude people. It is a shame but there´s not much one can do, usully. One thing is to be wise and another to have been at school many years. Wiseness is a talent that can´t be taught. If it were true what you wish, there wouldn´t be wars. Wars are not made by the common people: they are started by people with power.

I guess a lot of people have the right to education. but only few have deep tendency of wisdom and humility with the lesser fortunate. this guy is surely making a fool out of himself.well, they're a christian saying "those who are in the low positions in life actually had higher blessings from God" and those whom you mentioned..i don't know..one word, and that's Karma

It may sound tacky but the only thing an education gives people is an education. Think of it this way..Put a thousand dollar outfit on a babboon and when all said and done, you still have a babboon. Folks who think in social class terms will find ANY excuse to be rude, crude and socially disgusting..Again, tacky, but I have known welfare folk who carried on like they were the best thing comin' and goin'. Its in the mindset of the individual.
For the knowin', I work in a local convention center where we see all sorts of folks. Generally, oriental folk and women are the least abusive and most congenial.
ENJOT!

well in my final year at school i had this sir who taught me commerce ,well he always says he does not sow partiality to any one ,but he has a few favorite students ,as for others they are just not good enough.He liked them better because they answered any qustions during class ,a guy next to me asks me the answers and tells it to him as his own ,he was one of the favorites .One day a competition for an advetisement came to our school and the representative of the contest called me ,now i had good marks and he knew it well,but he told the rep to take the guy next to me if they wanted our school to win. And to rub salt to my wound he told him i was stupid. So i guess he is one realy rude guy i know.

Wow I knwo lot of rude people...would take forever to name them all..recently though I started selling on Ebay and have found my fair share of rude buyers. They get upset if I dont reply to them right away or something like that. Of course on there you can report anything that is unappropriate or really rude as you think. I mean there are rude people everywhere Im sure alot just do it for attention but I dont see why being rude to someone you dont even know would be helpful...as I mentioned about my Ebay problems...they dont even know me so why be rude. Oh well guess its just a factor of life and best do is just ignore them. :)

Hi dex,
If you are talking about my lot users, fortunately i have not met a lot of rude people here. Its quite a friendly site and i particiapte only in sensible discussions. I ignore mindless discussions and useless people. You have to pick and choose wisely. The only thing which comes in my mind is i have seen a lot of people writing bad things about my nation. Well its rude, if u ask me.
In general i have seen plenty of rude people in life. They are everywhere. Poor people are often supressed and this is an on and on process.
Cheers,
Tutul

I don't know someone in particular who is rude but i have experience some rudeness on an online social networking site, but i don't want to mention the name. It was my first day on that site and i was so naive of how it works, so i honestly share about myself and post some welcome comments, the next day i open it one person commented on a very foul words, i was embarrassed knowing that it was online, i did check my profile and i don't see anything which would trigger him to comment that way, i just cannot accept the fact that someone would give a nasty comment for someone who doesn't even knew me. Rude people are those that are surrounded with negative energy, so we better not associate with people like that.
