Discussion»Questions»Human Behavior» Of course you are rarely ever rude. When you are is it premeditated or does it occur in the heat of the moment? Ever apologize?
I am rarely rude.. and if I am then it's deserved :P It's almost always in the heat of the moment but I rarely lose control of my ability to be articulate and to present reasoned argument.. I rarely do anything that I need to apologise for.. but if I were in the wrong then yes, I would and have in the past, apologised.
I think all Pols who are lying hypocrites DESERVE rude/impolite/insults. But other than that I try to be civil. When I encounter rude I usually ignore it totally. Rude people are uniformly uninteresting to me. They all use the same playbook. I've heard/read it before. Been there. Done that. Enough already! Occasionally I will say something but less often than I used to. Hah. I used to be so naive! Seriously! I thought everyone who replied to a question DESERVED a serious and thoughtful reply! Boy was I ever a doofus! I got over it. Now I just talk to those folks who interest me and with whom I can engage in thoughtful conversation. Just as no one is obligated to answer a question. I am similarly not obligated to reply to an answer so I don't when I don't wanna! It works out hunky dorry for me Addb! Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday to thee! :)
That's fair enough and it may be that your way is the wiser.. lol I still have much to learn maybe cos I call people out on it when they are rude.. I had someone try that with me today, during an interview.. I could have shut up...but there's this little spark in me that hates injustice.. and my thinking is.. people do that, be rude, insult etc. cos they think they can get away with it... so i just tell them they cant :P I think your way works for you.. mine works for me and both are reasonable ways to deal with things :) My interview was for a course, and it's fine, they were just being snooty and believing their course is better than ours... so that's ok but I DID give them a run for their moneyAND I ended it on a positive note to which they replied that they could see I am determined and have a genuine passion for the subject.. so I suppose as I say my way works for me.. and they maybe learned a lesson.. don't try to insult people and think it will make them feel belittled... lol I am very, very hard to belittle :P
I am sometimes quite calculatedly rude. Not just profane, but nasty. Slapping down idiots who deserve it is cathartic. I've also been known to fight fire with fire. I usually apologize if it's a heat of the moment thing and somebody cops a serve who didn't earn it.

I usually totally ignore rude Sbf. Once in awhile I say what I have to say but less often as I get older because rude people are very boring and I don't like to waste my time on them. So I try not to do so. The level of discourse is very low and I get nothing out of it so why not just walk on by? You nasty? If you are I'm certain it is well-deserved! Thank you for your reply! :)
