Dealing with rude people

You mean hang up the phone?

I have always just taken it and say... god bless you

And that was a clue for my kids to start singing...Jesus loves me, this I know...

Qwhether that meant anything to the other person or not, I'll never know but at least I felt like I had the final word

Not really it can be on phone or face to face depends.

I go out of my way to "out rude" them. Those rude people are that way because they get away with it. My favorite tactic is feeding their words back to them... they really hate that alot. Maybe its the area I am in but if you tolerate verbal abuse the physical attacks will start. Its like checking out that boundary to see how far they can push without getting smacked in the nose. So I push back fairly quickly. They leave and go find someone else to abuse.

Do you live in a 'ethnic' area?



:bad_smile:

The worst of the rude ones tend to be "ethnic" but the area has enough ummm.... employed folks that I would not describe the whole area as ethnic. The scum victimize each other daily and occasionally make the mistake of including one of the "normals" in their evil lunacy. We have sheriffs here who support concealed carry with a license and open carry is legal. So its waaay better than chicago.

I suggest offering the 'ethnic' ones some form of employment.This frightens and confuses them and causes them to run away!



For other 'types' I suggest the 'non sequitur' method as demonstrated by Gene Hackman in 'The French Connection'. It is a recognised technique taught to army officers to defuse potentially violent situations.

I think that ^^THIS^^ is an excellent way to live life.
