Have you spoken rudely with anyone?

I've been rude to folks, mostly after they were rude or inappropriate to me (often for disability related reasons) or sometimes I'll be rude to someone if I'm mad at them and don't feel like being mature, but mean instead. I'm not so proud of that behavior and try not to do it much.

i dont know wheather i m a rude person or not it entirely depends on others whoever is with me to decide. but usually it happens that when i m angry n lose my temper i become rude unwantingly n never bother whoever is the opposite person i m speaking to. i know that i should not do this but even i control a lot not to do this but sometimes i endup with disappoinment n sometimes its very rare i try to control my anger. i dont know its the case with me only or other people also do the same way like i do. but i see my husband n my other family members never go wild like how i do, n sometimes i really get surprised n feel that i m so bad n need to change my habbits, n try to behave properly n overcome anger. sometimes i myself understand that what i m doing is wrong n i need to be practical n should not act like a small kid. what do u think m i right or wrong ?

I am usually a softie. Have you heard the derogatory Indian word "paapaa"? They used this word to describe me, and that was what I was anyway. In spite of this, I managed to have two major fights in my life--one with a Reliance guy and the other with my neighbors. The fight with the Reliance guy lasted around an hour. The fight with the neighbor last for around twenty minutes somewhere at midnight, and it continued for another hour next morning. Now why should a "paapaa" like me fight so hard? I was literally sick of being exploited that's why. And I had just made up my mind to stop it. These people were bullying me like anything. Now, the neighbors behave themselves perfectly. And I no longer use Reliance. I use BSNL, which is much more human than Reliance. Cheers and happy mylotting

I am normally a very nice and understanding person. I don't get upset with customer service reps, waiters, cashiers...I am actually very forgiving and I also understand that in those cases, whatever the problem is, it's not usually the fault of the person I'm dealing with. But I have my limits. When I first got married, I had a lot of problems with my in-laws. They did some terrible things and also said some terrible things about me, including that I was cheating on my husband and that our daughter might not be his. I tried to just grin and bear it as best as I could, most of the time. But while my husband was in tech school for the Air Force, my father in law pushed me too far, accusing me AGAIN of cheating on my husband with a friend of mine that had helped me out when I got really sick. I'd had enough, and informed, quite rudely, on the phone, that if he were to continue saying such nasty things about me, I would not allow him to see my daughter. They cleaned up their act pretty fast, and we get along reasonably well now, all things considered - but I am not the least little bit sorry for how I handled that. People who are not normally rude become rude when pushed past their breaking point. People who are regularly rude either have never been taught manners, don't care about other people's feelings, or honestly have no idea that they are being rude. That's why I'm so careful to teach my kids empathy and manners!
