How do you react when your husband/wife or friends have a attitude in public?

well, i will be shame too. first of all, maybe i will remind him to act properly in public. if then he can't change his attitude to be more manner, i would stay with her. but if he still trying to get the public attention, forget it.. i will leave just like you did too

Wow you are right I too would be upset and embarrassed to say the least. I had a friend do this one too many times and how I handled it was never go anywhere with her again. I gave her enough warnings on how embarrassing it was, because for some odd reasons the people she offended would look straight at me, as if I had control of her behavior. I felt that I could not change the behaviors of others so that is why I could not tolerate it any longer. Hopefully if she is a good friend to you she will take your feelings into consideration and contain herself, if not you may have no choice but to no longer go anywhere with her.

kwylima oh I hate that as they seem to feel like they have to make a drama over what most people would just laugh off. This resident here who I had liked prior to the incident seemed to think she was a Queen and did not have to wait her turn in seeing our medical advisor so when I was in a chair waiting for my medication she starts wailing she is going to have a this or that if she does not get her medication before me, and Kristine just calmlylooked at her and said quietly" I am busy at this moment with patsie so just wait a minute as its not your turn she has been waiting ten ninutes and her leg hurts her." well miss Queen had a temper fit and all of us were purely embarrassed for her. really I had thought her a friendly nice person but she muttered fatas.s at me when she passed nme . real nice eh?

Yayks! That's really embarrassing.. If I were in that situation, I will most likely do what you did. Your friend got some real problem. Have you asked her why she acts that way? Maybe she needs some professional advice or get some psychological test.

i have been in this situation as well and everytime it happens i feel so embarrassed, i feel like i want to shrink! but i just have to face it, people all have their own attitude, im told my friend about it and as of now she's working on it, trying to erase that unwanted attitude of hers. im happy that she's still my friend.. :)

Your friend's attitude is really disgusting in front of public, you're her friend so you have the right to tell her that it is not good for her to react like what you have said, I'd rather pacify and calmed her and advise to order another if her order is not available. if she did not listen with you better to avoid her company, I am not sure too if I can resists her attitude if ever I am one of her friends too.

Oh my,what an attitude. I will do the same thing if any of my friends acts like that. I don't have any friends who has this kind of attitude. We are all fun loving gals,always laugh mosts of the time,and would make others laugh too. I guess you are right,if she doesn't changed,never go out with her or else you will be in much trouble next time. just tell her that she needs some changes and make over with her attitude,and hope she listens.

In situations, particularly when you're in a customer service environment and you're with what we call "bad/stupid customers" which is what your (ex) friend sounds like, the worst part about it is that the person with the attitude is blaming the worker for something he or she cannot help. I've been with people like that before. My mother is like that and gets unruly when she doesn't get her way in public. Before I refused to run errands with her because of her childish attitude, I used to apologize to the people she treated poorly while she fumed. I'd say things like, "I'm sorry about her. I realize it's not your fault; I've worked in customer service, too. I think everyone should for at least a week of their life." It probably doesn't rectify the situation as much as I'd like, but at least the poor worker doesn't have to feel alone in their irritation! In either case, it's embarrassing to be with people like that. I even apologize for people if I don't know them, particularly if their frustration is directed to an employee or another person in general. There have been many times where I've been behind a person in line who tries to use an expired coupon, then screams bloody murder when it's caught. I always apologize for those pitiful people. Other than that, I guess all you can do is avoid those types of people and hope that one day they'll get the privilege of seeing the other side of things.

I can understand why you were embarrassed. Your friends behavior was unacceptable. I admire you for sticking up for yourself and leaving. So many people are so afraid of hurt feelings they just go along and 'suffer in silence.' I think you were exactly right to leave and call her and give her an ultimatum. Good for you!

I would be SO embarrassed! I would honestly punch whoever it is that's having the attitude, as I honestly care so much about people who I don't even knows opinions.
