How do you deal with rude people?

Anyway who deal rude with me i will be gentle to them after some time they only know how foolisly they behave with me and feel sorry for that and at that time i will take a class for them on rudeness

It depends a lot on my mood at the time. If I'm fed up and ready to snap look out, I'll rip them a new one. However if I'm fairly calm I'll use sarcasm instead and usually by the time they realized what I said I'm gone. Something like "Has your mother come out from under the porch and bitten the mailman lately." That usually takes them a while to realize what I called their mother. By then I'm gone and they are left fuming because they can't rant at me some more, making them far more irritated since they didn't get the last word in.

well lol..so manmy answers lol..If theer just rude,,I will say something liek .,.aww having a bad day? and if they say no..then id ask well why in such a crappy mood then?? and they wil tell me theer life story and end up appologizing lol..but i have met some real STINKERS!!!! ohhh!! u know the ones that you fantasize about hittin there head with the most heavist object around! lol lol..well i save my Witchy PMS for them! lol..I snap back..and i have this evil eye thing i can do..its kinda creepy,.get it from mom lol..but i wont take theer crap..and no in thise case i dont regret being mean back because they deserved it!

Depends on the mood for me. I used to not care - if people were rude to me, I'd be as rude as possible right back. Eh, now I've mellowed a bit and sometimes just ignore it, not always though...

two wrongs dont make a right....as the saying goes. Best not to be rude back, most people who are rude expect a reply, if you dont reply that makes them mad.

hello sunshine!. well like you i think that people who are rude deserve to be treated the same way.. i am hardly offended by anything and i can shrug any offense off depending on my mood. but when someone really gets rude to me and i am in no mood whatsoever to be nice and patient then that person will take a beating from me.. LOLS. but yah.. thats true.. i dont let anyone treat me like $hit because they dont have the right to do that to other people.. i think that i am also trying to make a stand and defend my reputation and credibility.. well thats it..

It is the nature of human beings to be rude back to some other rude treatment. but I do not think it is a good way to vent your anger. maybe sometimes you can adopt some other measures such as humor to deal with these situaions. most often you can achieve some unexpected result.

I can control myself very well, I can just let it go but I calmly retaliate when needed, sometimes I confuse rude people by making fun of them, usually they don't get it right away but they feel terrible when everyone is laughing at them.. in my last job all rude people learned to avoid me because I can really makes them look stupid :))

you must ignore that rude individual... or else both of you are the rude people then. Just leave him alone then maybe in the future he might come to a realization that you can't have any patience for his ATTITUDE!

I just ignore them.But if they cross the limit i fight bak until matters over

I don't too much deal with people and their attitude. When I do come across someone. I listen and let them vent then depend on how I feel they might get cursed out!

I think that it is human nature to regret alot of things after the fact as most of us to react with a bite instead of sniffing out the situation. I have come close to mastering the patience of rudeness but we all have enough at some point or anothe! I try to reply in a sarcastic way that shows that i do not appreciate what they have said and i will keep that to myself. At the same time standing my ground as in if you keep it up i eventually lash back too!

I always hope that my inner voice will kick in and tell me to act like an adult. Sometimes though, when I see someone being outright rude, I can't help myself either. I do tell myself not to be like them though. It makes me feel superior! ;-)

I'm exactly like you. I end up being rude in return. I just can't help it, I can't stop myself! I have several friends who live by the motto "kill 'em with kindness'. Sometimes I TRY to do that and not stoop to the rude person's level but it's awfully hard!

I tend to get very cold and pointy with my voice and very polite unles wit's something really bad when my temper explodes and they get huge mouthful of how their behaviour is offensive and childishbefore I storm off, lol

It's so human nature of us to want to defend ourselves when up against someone who is being rude. I work in the medical profession, so I have learned how to bite my tongue and smile. Sometimes, depending on the situation, it is better to let things slide. However, if I know the person well, and they come across rude, I would first try to find out why they feel they have to addres me in that way. Maybe it is a bad day for them and I am the easy target or punch-bag at the moment. It's still no excuse, but at least I can try to diffuse the situation before we are both hammering each other with rudeness. I think we have to pick and choose our battles, and that not every battle is worth stressing over and allowing to seep and infest our minds or behavior.

Since my line of work demands great patience and dealing with rude people several times a day I relaly think That I am getting good at it. Sure - sometimes I just wanna say something nasty back, but I have found a way of controlling myself. This doesn´t just help mein my job, but also in my personal life!

I usually blow kisses to them or smile so they think I'm crazy...I guess I kill them with kindness. Either that or I am a big wimp! LOL

When someone is rude to me, I first have to check myself just so I dont hit them. Then I go out of my way to be the nicest damn person...in a most uppity manner that is. I kill 'em with kindness and that is worse then kicking them in the shins. They know they have been rude and for most, when they realise your not sinking to their level...feel bad. Thats on my good days. On my bad days, there is usually a mess to clean up and an audience left with their mouths hanging open in complete awe of my attack! LOL

Well, personally I read the bible, practice being kind, smile and do things to show your good and capable. You can reply curtly and honestly just everytime somone tries to get you made try to hold back it well get better, and the regret will stop. I know it's hard. I got mean with my boyfriend and inlaws. Now I stopped. But then again I'm not sailing through turbalance...but I stopped it-by not being the jerk. I do regret being rude and mean. But regret will change your actions if you don't let it hurt you. In fact find some nice people. Talk to nice people on mylot. Smile once awhile at people or just to smile about something good in your life. Sometimes-having a happy shield works like a forcefield to rudeness-from you and others. Wishing you the best-mylot friend
