Hi, We have many big trees around our building. Their leaves and branches always fall on the ground and it looks very dirty. So our watchman daily burns it. Today one neighboring lady was shouting on him that why he burns daily and all smoke comes to their house and they have the trouble. It is OK to tell that watchman not to burn leaves and branches daily. But the way she was talking with that watchman was very rude and arrogant. She was insulting that watchman. The watchman is very kind and he didn't speak any word and listened very silently by keeping his head down. that lady should have been speak with him softly and with respect. that watchman is old.

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.

Hi, You are right. some people don't care about others feelings. They used to hurt the feelings and they don't have any guilty feeling about this. They think what they are doing is right and other people don't have any brain. Thank you for the response.

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.

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?

I really did not insult them. That's not me. I just clearly pointed out that if they wanted to have a clean-free environment, then burning the leaves should not be done. Or if they really feel like burning it, then they should have burned it in front of their house. From the spot where they burned the leaves, there were about 50 racing pigeons caged by the wall. The pigeons cost about $10,000.

Hi, The leaves should not be burnt by your wall. But it should be told in polite manner. If he is not listening to us then we should take proper action. We should not insult anyone for any reason. Thank you for the response.

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.

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.

Hi, Many people don't respect poor people. They always speak arrogantly to them. The woman in this incident is also like them. She was talking arrogantly and that watchman was listening silently. I feel very sad for that watchman but I didn't interfere in that conversation because I didn't want to create a scene. thank you for the response.

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.

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.

Hi, You are right. The leaves should be collected in disposable bags and used for proper disposal. Burning causes pollution and smoke created by burning is troublesome for others. But that woman should talked with the watchman in respectable manner. thank you for the response.
