Fights can sometimes go on and on because neither person will back down. Nobody wants a fight to continue, but in the heat of the moment, many people don’t realize that just making a nice, understanding comment or gesture can sometimes be the answer. This doesn’t mean giving in to the other’s point of view; it simply means that one person needs to be the one to take the fight down a notch. This can require apologizing for your part in the argument, but it can also simply be a question of facing the problem more calmly. Chances are that if you chill out, the whole fight will take on a new tone and it will be easier to fix things up.

You're absolutely right. I think sometimes we just get so caught up in emotion that we don't take time to think rationally and it all escalates. I'm trying to get better at this so I'm glad you posted this discussion. It seems like I come into contact with rude people a lot. I try to remember that maybe they've had a bad day and are just irritable. I know work can be very stressful sometimes and it has put me in a bad mood too.
