The woman in our neighboring house was shouting very rudely

Politeness is rare in this fast paced world.May be she got irritated by pollution but still there is no justification to be shouting like that.She should have given a polite warning first,best wishes.

Well, in those circumstances, even if this lady was right, posing that way so arrogant and overbearing, no doubt goes in the wrong. You can say the same things with gentleness and respect for others especially in: moreover by what you have pointed out, she has long railed to an elderly person. So, do not go!

I agree with you. Your nasty neighbor should have made the request nicely and get positive results. But probably she is just by nature mean and rude.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this incident, really the watchman is having more patience to hear her words. I hope the lady will realize her fault and ask sorry to the watchman. If she tell it to the watchman in a normal way the issue will be solved easily, unfortunately, she created another issue with her activity

That is where maturity, exposure and self discipline come in. Some people believe so much in shouting down on others whom they believe they are better of than. The man displayed some degree of maturity and I'm sure the woman will soon realize her rudeness.

Some peoples are like this,they don't worry about what others think about her and how it will hurt others.They have less inner feelings.I think she likes to insult others.In my opinion she atleast respect the age of the watchman.Did you spoke to watchman about this?I really hate that lady by hearing from your post.

Some people are rude and they think that they can talk impolitely to poor people; according to her the watchman is a poor employee.

Hi Rosh, maybe she just annoy with the smoke daily I also feel so annoy when one in my neighborhood burn the leaves But I just shut my mouth since I know I can't tell him with a bad mood like that

Hi roshigo58, Yes, I agree that the young lady should not have shouted at and berated the old watchman. He's probably only doing his job and does not realize that burning of leaves and branches in public places is wrong and pollutive. She should have talked to him nicely and politely and if that doesn't work maybe she should see his superior and explain the situation. Have a great day.

She is probably having her monthly thing. lol. Poor watchman though. Hopefully, he won't mind the lady much otherwise he might have a bad day ahead.

I know that she should not have been that rude, but maybe it just came to a point that she really could no longer deal with it. It happened to me one time. I think I just gave birth 3 months before that incident. I have noticed that the neighbor living across our house would be burning leaves on the front of our house. Well actually, there was a high wall where the helper was burning. The first time they did it, I just let it pass. The second time, I was controlling my temper. But the third time was too much. The fire was getting big and all the smoke was getting in our house with a 3 month old baby. I really went to my neighbors house and got mad at them. First of all, it was prohibited to burn anything in our community. I was wondering why their attention was not called for that incident. Plus, the dried leaves they were burning was from their side of the street, so why do they have to burn it by our wall?

Maybe it was not the first time that the watchman was spoken to by that woman as you said that the burning had been happening on a daily basis. So she might have been just frustrated as the smoke from the burning had been going into her house. Nevertheless, I guess that she could have been a bit more tactful when she showed her displeasure especially when it was directed to an old man.

Hi Rosh ! So simple to describe her , she got no values ! She got no breeding at all ! She don't know how to respect others , showing to people that she was someone to be look up to. Her gestures simply tells us how cultured and educated she was.

i can say the watchman is respect the old lady, but now she is so rude that is why sometime we respect other but they just don't respect us back

Just because he's a watchman doesn't mean he should deserve the rudeness or disrespect this woman was obviously showing him. Why are people so ungrateful, they'd soon complain if he didn't clear the leaves and branches away, because he is doing his job, he still gets complained at? I admire him for not answering back, because she sure deserved it.

hio roshigo both of them were doing wrong because most towns and cities do not permit burning stuff like that as it does get into people's homes and a lot of people are allergic to the smoke.But she should have been kind to the elderly man and just asked him "please do not burn that as the smoke gets in my house and makes me ill."You can ask someone not to do something in a kind thoughtful way without yelling or being rude and mean.

We cannot avoid such kind of people who doesn't know how to show a little respect to others. The lady could have talked with the watchman properly without shouting. Or- unless it's really her attitude (that's difficult to change then)

That's very rude of the woman! Although i can understand why she feels that way, she can at least tone down her voice. She can let the watchman feel that she is angry, but she doesn't have to shout at him. The watchman perhaps is just following orders so she should have talked to him nicely, not in that loud voice.

She shouldn't talk to him like that but try understand her angered. I mean burning leaves is just stupid

The lady was rude by shouting at the watchman as he is just carry out his responsibility. She should talk nicely to him and give him due respect. We do have a lot of trees along the way and neighborhood too. There are workers who will be clearing up the those dry leaves and tied them up in disposable bags. This is because we are not allowed to do open burning here. So, they will keep those bags on the road side and other workers will collect them with a lorry for proper disposal.
