If a stranger upset you in public would you get mad and say something back?

Normally I would be prompted to saying something as I would be upset about rudeness. But like most responses I would be apt to be cautious about where and with who I was dealing with. As you never know if a psycho goes ballistic and a simple bump turns into cutting.

Well, I wouldn't do any thing if I were in these cases. First case: These are the some fools want to make you feel angry, shout at them, hit them so they have the reason to hit you back Second case: They bump your leg - They didn't mean it (I'm quite sure, 'cause they are strangers) Other cases: Just let them do what they want to, when they are tired of it, they will just go away. You know, in Vietnamese, there is an Idiom: "You endure once, you get twice the benefit"

This would have to depend on what the stranger has said to me. If it wasn't something life threatening, I would try to ignore it and walk away. Sayng something back could bring an altercation I really don't need.

Well actually yes this one guy he looked like a teen he honked his horn because we were crossing to get to Wal-mart and I guess he was distracted by some girls or something because he admitted it when I was asked why you honk your horn at us and he got all mad and he was like look at you girl and go check yourself stuff like that being rude, but he totally misunderstood what I was trying to say. I was trying to say why you honk your horn, so that we can get out of your way that's what I was thinking, but that guy really got me mad because if it was just me whatever, but my baby sis was their and that is not cool he should be driving more carefully instead of speeding, but yeah I just asked him that and he went off on me. Whatever I didn't have time so I just walked away, but he should be the one to check himself he has no right to tell me that because he did not look like no Brad Pitt. I guess it's just better to ignore people like that, but sometimes it's to much when people do rude things to my family that's when I can't take it and I blow up. I guess because before I used to let people get away with it, but not anymore. I do not like people that like to be rude because they think that they can do whatever they want and instead they should be respectful and kind to others, but that will never happen.

It depends on how critical the situation was, but if I feel that I can let it slide I will. If the stranger acts as if they're trying to do it on purpose then thats when I'll have to take action to stand up for myself and blow my horn back at them. Sometimes after they've done all that acting a fool in the back of me tailgating, then finally goes around, I honk my horn right back. I will be thinking to myself they could of been went around me. Same with the cart in the store.

it depends. When a male driver insists himself to me while on the road like really making small space for me to get in when its really my right of way but he would insists himself.. I revv up and really zoom way past him.like " eat my dirt dude!" when someone bumps me and apologizes, I smile to sign the person that its ok. If someone bumps me and not say sorry, I say " has anybody taught you to say sorry? I guess not! im so sorry that you did not learn anything from school!"

It depends on some things. you should have time to reply them. when you are in huryy you really don't care what is happenining around and what any stranger saying you. now-a-days, it is becoming part and parcel of life. there are lots of bad people around you and you really can't teach them how to treat others. so be right do the right thing.

The really depends on my mood on that particular day though. If they really offended me without an apology, I would definitely do something. But still, we are living in a civilized world, I probably talk to him cilvizedly, before I really have to do something to him. I don't want to cause any big scene in the public though.

I don't get mad at once, I try to collect my cool then act how I should . If the injury is bad, Of course I will demand not only proper excuse but proper thing to be done. I guess people need to be reminded always of what to do or not.

Personally when there are things like that I keep my cool,but my advice to people visiting or want to visit the Philippines especially the busy streets of metro Manila is to stay out or avoid traffic altercations,maybe because of the hot weather combined with the traffic jam, I don't know, people are just too hot headed, there had been more than one incident of senseless shootings just because of simple or minor traffic altercations.

If i'm in good mood, i wouldn't do anything, but when i'm not, the devil in me goes out. I'll just let the person know that i'm not happy with what he has done. There's no fight though, i'll just merely say something-----not so bad.

For me, I ignore people who upset me. However I am pissed off, I am still controlling myself. I am always thinking that they do not know what they are doing. When someone honks to me, I'd better ignore it, let it be. He will receive his/her karma anyway. When someone hurt me without apologizing, I will just ease the pain if it wasn't serious. They will learn from it I think. And when someone cuts my line, I'll just let him/her, it depends on mu current situation; if I am in a hurry or not. Avenging myself to them to them is not a good idea. It will just make the situation worse. I don't want such things to happen.

Please ignore such people. I think anyone encountered such a thing. What I can do is keep my own emotions and make me happy.

I probably won't as long as I'm not hurt or harmed by anyone. I can still deal with it. I usually ignore those kind of people. I just don't like to create drama in public places. That is so true that you might not know what those people have that might just kill you if they get more pissed off than you are. As long as you're not doing the "bad thing", you can just let it go.

I agree with you, i leave it alone because i dont know what othe people are capable of. A lot of people are sorta crazy so i try my best to not upset them. when strangers get me mad, most of the time they say sorry so i dont have to do anything drastic. but i have seen fights over people cutting in line and minor bumping.
