How do you deal with rude people?Patient or not?

I try to be as nice as possible even when people are giving me an attitude. If me being as nice as possible and changing my tone doesn't help then I just give up and usually walk away or lose my temper a bit with that person and then I leave. I figure there is no point in trying to deal with someone that is being rude. It's better to just walk away then to allow them to think you'll stand there and take their behavior.

hi friend a person ..let it be any one can only be rude ...just give him a heart ful smile even he get attracted towards you and will atleast change his behaviour at you...no one can get hesitation /irritation /can become serious at any one who is smiling always..that's why there is caption..a smile can stop a war..so smile always to avoid such problems...try to smile a lot it costs nothing..all the best

i do try to handle them to the best of my ability but when they get more rude i will only avoid them and let them know that i am not down with their rude nature especially if such a a rude person is unwilling to change, i will only try to change the rude individual but if he or she is adamant then i wouldn't mind abandoning such an individual

Sometimes your patience can only tolerate so much. Whenever i encounter a rude person, I try to be as polite as i can. Sometimes those moments are trying when you are left with rude and obnoxious. if nothing else seems to work, i have to walk away. if i don't I'll end up being a rude person as well.

hello ~ my friend , i don't think it's a good way to answer those rude people with the same manner, we could ignore them as they are invisable . hahaha , and i think it's not be worthwhile to angry with them . anyway , you would gradually be a rude one as you answer in same way to those rude people ~

I will just tell them that "Life is too short to waste time talking rude to people and hating them." Love everyone and enjoy the short life with big happiness.

I try to be as nice as I can when people are being rude to me, I'm not the type of person to blow a fuse regularly unless someone really ticks me off. I stay polite and basically just let them be rude. I will tell them that they are getting rude though, if they start to get on my nerves, because I really do not enjoy being rude to other people, so I would appreciate it if people aren't being rude to me. Of course, some people will just give you attitude no matter how hard you try to be nice to them, so I just ignore them if it comes to that.

NO it is not easy to stay calm, my boss's driver is like that he is full of "attitude" and many times i lost my temper. I am not a war freak but i don't know there are just some people that will break you veins when they talk, this person always yells into my face like a big boss and always curse me, i don't like curses because i had stopped cursing people cuz i realized the effects it might bring, curses may come true, "whatever comes out of thine mouth so i will do to you, said in the bible. And whenever he does that cursing and yelling without valid reason, even if there is i won't accept it though, my blood rise up in my head and i wanted to kick his head, but of course i have to think of my posture first. Depending on my mood and situation, whenever he plays that role I... Talk to him nicely puting in my mind to have patience, that's when i could just ignore what he is saying. yell at his face and send him out!when he is disrespectful and i got mad already. Patience is important yeah i know, and it's not good to step down on their rude level because you are in no way different by giving them the same attitude. But sometime, lessons are to be given to those who won't accept nice and diplomatic process of treating someone. They have to know that they must give respect for them to be respected also. Sometimes It's not only the illiterate or dumb people who have things like this sometimes they're the professional one's for the reason i don not know i have met people like them. RESPECT BEGETS RESPECT!happy mylotting!

I'll try best to figure out what's wrong. Just like ask him "Did I offend your or something" If he's just hysterical and keep being rude, I'll walk away and give him some time to calm down. I think most people being rude is because he has a bad day or encounter some bad luck or under a lot of pressure... He just needs relief. No one means to be a rude man. I prefer pity for him than hate him.

It depends on the situation. Have you ever heard the term "Kill them with kindness" Sometimes the best way to deal with jerks like that is to be nice. It confuses them :) Sometimes, depending on the circumstances, I just tell them that they are rude. Sometimes I say things like "I'm sorry you are so miserable...you must be having a real bad day." This makes them stop and think for a minute. Sometimes people do not realize how rude they are being and bringing it to their attention might help them realize.

Yes.. My response will be the same. I dont try to be rude from my side first. If the person is rude , defenetly i will asnwer in that wasy only, I dont want to be patient at that time. If they are rude why should we be patient? We are also human beings only, I always keep one thing in mind And also expect the same from other also " Give respect and take respect " Thanks BHA

I just be as nice as I can, until I can't take it anymore, depends on the situation I suppose.

Patience is the best key to deal with rude people.I think if person is rude with you ,try to explain him politely that you don welcome his crap and not interested in his talk.if that person still dont stop,than it is better to avoid such people and walk away straight.

If I'm at work I'm bound to be always fine, happy, nice and smiling so I'll just ignore the rude comment/action and offer a stupid smile and a happy tone. If I'm out of work, if it's not too bad I shut up and take it, if it goes beyong my limits I give a razor-sharp comment just enough to shut the rude one up.

My reaction would vary under different circumstances - Is it a friend, an acquaintance, a stranger? - is he/she being rude to me, just plain offensively rude, or rude towards someone else? - is he/she being rude by using offensive talk? - or a variety of other situations. A small part of me would be offended and want to hit back and/or to correct offensive behaviour. A large part of me would not want to lower myself to his/her standard or to offend in like manner. How to accommodate the two? Sometimes, a sweet, gentle, friendly reply, complimenting the person, but with a slight hint of a rebuke will accomplish both. This is especially true if it is a personal affront. If the person is using rude and offensive language, I will most definitely voice my opinion, but do so quietly and politely, without stooping to their level. If the person is being rude to someone else, and I know that person, I will step in and do what I can - again, quietly and politely. I might not always control myself enough to do this, but it would be my aim, and it usually works.

Hi, Ice! I do my best to escape the situation. If that's not possible, I usually quietly but firmly let the person know I didn't like it and won't tolerate any more rudeness.

Hello ice, Rude people were always rude,unless they will accept others opinion. But in my views,rude people cannot or will never accept other's opinion since they thought they are the only right person in the making. In my view,it is better to avoid any argument with rude person,becoz,i believed there is not good result with debating to such kind of people.

Hi icesmile No, it is not easy for me to be patient and stay polite. Usually I will answer him/her, but unfortunately, I can't shout So although I'm really angry, my tone still soft.. At the end, I will leave that person. For me, better to walk away and stay away from rude person. There's no point in debating with them (but sometimes I wanna defend myself) since they always think that they are right..

it depends upon how rude he is....if i can take his rude i just ignore and be patient but if his too much will i tell him if he knows what his talking about and who is he talks like that ....il nah answer him in rude way too coz im nah like him...

well, if you get rude with rude people it will be fight. Try pissing them off. Stay calm and smile at them while talking. It will really piss them. Rude people always want to fight. Don't give them one.
