rude people

[vegeta rocker]

I just thought i would bring this up, because i happen to hate rude people.
I went to a debate meet saturday and my partner and i went up against a boy and girl from another school.
Anyway, they were totally unprepared and to the point we felt sorry for them. They actually admitted to not having a plan and anybody here who knows debate knows that we could have torn into them. But we didn't and were very polite. Well in their final rebuttal, the guy says that they may have been unprepared for debate but that at least they came dressed for the round.
Now do you all see that as rude?

[LostProphet]

Yeah, I know the feeling VR

I was in Interp 2 years ago, and constantly went up against people who were rude. They would try to make me screw up and things of the such. Anyway, the easiest way to deal is to do it to THEM if you go against them.

It works

I hate people like that. I don't know what else to say.

[Syk3]

Dressed as in clothing, right? Or did I read that wrong? o_O;;;

My guess is that this was just the guy's way of getting his frustration out, since they were obviously winning. He was probably angry that he was loosing so bad, and got in a mood, and the rest is history. I suppose he wanted to leave with the impression that he was a bad loser.

Otherwise, I know plenty of rude people like that. I remember last year, I was just walking through the hallway, and one of the doors out of the cafeteria was closing (our cafeteria is in the middle of the school, so most of us just cut through). Anyway, I just casually slipped through the door crack, and it closed right when I passed, and this one kid in a group of people behind be said just loudly for me to hear as he talked with his friends, "Jeeze, I hate people who just slip through the door like that." o_O It sounds stupid, but he seemed as though he was being rude on purpose.

[COLOR=green]I know how ya'll feel there are quite a few rude people around at my school, I hate them and all but I try to act nice to them ya' know what I mean, like not calling back snappy remarks even though I am very good at that. That usually gets them to stop once they see it's not really bothering me. But if they keep going on and on getting more and more rude for over days, I kind'of snap and really yell back some remarks that shut them up for a good while. I don't like doing that and I hate fighting with people or putting them down but when weeks go by and they don't quit well.... I have to do something that or else they'll be getting more than that most likely a fist in the eye.[/COLOR] :(

Eh, everyone gets in their cheap shots sometime or another.

I go through downtown Chicago everyday to get to school. Rude people seem to thrive down there. People bloking their smoke from the cigarettes all over the place, walking down the street and ashing so high up that the wind blows it into your face...

Then there are the people who refuse to even budge an inch when you're walking towards them on a crowded sidewalk. A lot of the sidewalks are even more narrow, because downtown there are [i]always[/i] these stupid cheap tunnels built overhead (to block ice and construction, but they like NEVER take them down). It's either walk into a pipe or walk into someone. It's gotten to the point that if a person shows no sign of moving over (and even then I'm generous about room). I just walk into them. I'm tired of practically turning myself sideways while the other person has all the room in the world. Oh well. This is most common with businessmen downtown who walk in groups and take up the whole walkway.

Then there is the el and bus... And restaurants and stores (which are horribly cramped down there in most cases).

Anyway, I might act like this is still a huge deal to me... At one point it was. I probably bitched about it to someone every few days. At this point, I'm basically just so used to it that it seems expected.

For sure.

That is just plain rude. But the fact of the matter is that you had them out classed in every way. Even if you were sporting the homeless garb, you would have still come off more respectable than those fools.

Only the lowest resort to personal insult while in a scholarly debate.

I congradulate you for being the better man.

[Bremma]

Well, that was very rude. We they dressed any bettere than you, by the way? And is the dress anythign like forensics? my first ocmpetiton wa sback cuase everyone else wa all in blakc and i was in my 'school uniform', white dress t and khakis.

Anyway, there was a girl as the school I use to go to who would call me gay everytime I walked by. Not only was that untrue, but it wasn't even the correct term! If you going to call me homosexual, as least use the right form!

[Shaun]

That was rude.
I work retail, and you'd be amazed at just how rude people can be. It's sort of fun to play around with them though. I sell shoes. One time we were having a clearance sale, and we had stacked out several styles of athletic shoes on a folding table. I had just finished fixing them and turned around to do something else. This [i]woman[/i] walks up and starts searching through the stacks. Now, I had stacked them so each stack was the same shoe, to cut down on mess. She was going through them as if they were all different. You'd think after 5 or 6 stacks you'd get the idea. Worse yet, she knocked several boxes into the floor, and then left them there. I just kind of grit my teeth and worked on my other project. One of my regular customers was there, and she goes "I bet you just love messy people." She said it loud enough for the other lady to hear, so I say equally loud "What they don't know is, I have all their names and addresses in the computer. I [i]could[/i] just look them up and go and trash their living room!"
The lady left rather hurridly...hhehe:)

Yuck. >_<;;

I know what you mean. People litter hallways like that too. I hate when they just suddenly stop or lounge around talking in large groups. Sometimes they even walk slower than the elderly. [i]Slow and steady did not win the race![/i] But, these are the same folks who will scream at me if I'm not walking fast enough when they're trying to get somewhere. High school was the main source of this aggravation. Thank goodness that's done, lol.

Most ignorant people don't realize how they can ruin someone's day with one fleeting minute of their ignorance. What means so little to some people can mean a lot to others. Life is funny like that, how people don't consider one another sometimes.

People who cuss a lot in public bother me too; they do it right in front of their children a lot. That's why a lot of kids grow up the way they do, with sailor mouths and all.

Lastly, as mentioned, smokers can be pretty annoying. It's been banned in most public places, but a lot of students smoke outside the campus doors. I can smell it a block away, it's so thick. I mean, the buildings look like they're coming straight out of a horror movie, shrouded in London fog. And, [I]the odor[/I]! It really bothers me when I'm trying to eat. Oh well.

:( Well yes they were infact very rude for saying that, sadly one of the garantees we have in life is that rude people will always be around us. Wether it be a boss, teacher, friend, or even a loved one, rude behavior will always be present. It's better to accept this part of life at an early age and be the better person by ignoring rude attitudes.

However occassionally like any normal human being it's alright to tell a rude person off, in a way it gives some closure to the situation and sometimes you have to stand up to them so they learn from their mistakes *hopefully*.

Anyway that's my insight into this situation, you were the better person for keeping your composure kudos to you.

well i was walking through a shopping centre once and there was this group of people and they walked past me and one of them said to me your a f**kin a***hole and i just thought that was plain rude and i also hate it when people pick on you for personal things if maybe you have like spots or something like that.

[Bing]

[size=1][color=darkblue] Tommy V and I live in the same area, and you'll just be walking through a street, and some idiot will just go 'fat dickhead' or something completely lame like that. Some people are really dumb, and they are too lazy to even use a good insult.
Vegeta Rocker, I thik that guy just got frustrated, seeing as you beat him in the battle of intelligence. It's just the last act of a desperate man.[/color][/size]

lol thanks but i think you mean, better girl.

and to bremma, the way you are supposssed to dress is business suits.
and my partner was in jeans and i was in those big glow in the dark raver pants.
But in our defense, it is just a u.i.l. meet, if it was a TFA meet or district it would be diffrent.
The other team, one was in jeans and the other was in suit without a jacket. The dork made a hit on his partner and i wonder if she noticed.

[color=009966]"Dressed for the round?" :therock: Is that the best combat they have? *feh* Anyway, it doesn't really matter what they say. They're just sore losers who wanted to get some sort of victory from that remark, but all they really did was make idiots out of themselves.[/color]

[The Vampire: Ed]

Hey! It's not our fault you people aren't tolerant of us rude people. I'm tired of getting a bum wrap because I'm rude. I think you people need to go to a tolerance camp! So there!

*Trips vegeta rocker*

And I'm out!

[marbar]

I hate rude people like that.

One time, I did work experience and it was only my second day. I was stacking shelves and I had to go past the hardware department. There was a woman standing at the desk right next to a "Press for service" button (which, of course, she never pressed). When I went past, she was really angry saying, "Finally, it's about time someone serves me."
I just smiled and asked if I could help. She replied, "You better be able to!" and asked me some detailed question about differnet types of paint. I said that I was sorry, but I didn't know. So she yells, So what's the bloody good of ya!!"

Okay, she might have had a bit of a wait, but that was plain rude.

[color=deeppink] [size=1]My dad can't stand the lady next door.
Gosh, she's so rude. ><

Around 12:00am, she walks to our house, rings our doorbell, and complains our car is parked too closely to her car, and she can't get out. Well you see, her car's parked about a foot and a half away from ours. (Paraell parking) And she asks us to move the car. Everynight, sometime ranging from 12:00-3:00am.

There's this teacher that never holds the door for anyone too. One of the boys in my class had his head slammed by the glass door a few months ago, just because she couldn't hold the door for him.
He didn't come to school for two weeks, I think...

The rude kids at my school... they just frighten me just when I look at them. o-o [/color] [/size]

[color=#507AAC]I don't know if I can really add to what's been said here.

It's true that throughout your life, you'll meet rude people. You'll meet them on the street, you'll work with them occasionally or you'll meet them in your own personal life.

I think the key is to just be true to yourself. I mean, if someone is rude to you...I think you should always be honest and gracious if you can be. I've certainly known people (even in my own family on occasion) who have been rude to me. But generally speaking, I shrug that rudeness off. I shrug it off because I realize that they are not worth the potential baggage that I could end up carrying around. Know what I mean?

I mean, I could be bitter about other people's rudeness and carry that around with me. Instead, I shake it off and continue doing the best I can. I think it's all you can ever ask for.

In my own personal life (once again, the example of family), I often find that someone's rudeness isn't about anything I've done or said. The person being rude is usually doing so because they have their own issues/inadequacies. The same is true with someone you meet on the street, who might push past you or something; it's not about you, it's about their own self-absorbtion.

I'm sure I could come up with a million examples of rudeness, but most of you have done a good job of coming up with examples from your own experiences.[/color]

[color=0099FF] [size=1]Oh My God.. You don't want to know how much I hate rude people.There's a really loud girl in my class she's just a big mouth with some kind of annoying people attitude. We were on the lesson 'Evolution' and she's just arguing with the teacher the whole period about apples. She said that we should go back to the life where we traded apples for a piece of meat.

God I hate her! [/color][/size]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]*chokes on cherry sprite* :rotflmao:

I remember that!!! It made me mad how she said she said it's okay to take advantage of the substitude teacher... I mean, he was retired, and he was subbing for us. I think we should've given him a little more respect. On the other hand, she had to walk around beating people with a pencil. >.>[/color] [/size]

[vegeta rocker]

I got tripped?
Well i didn't see that coming........hahahaah
actually rude people aren't really that bad and its not like i have a problem ignoring them, its just that they ripped into us after we went out of our way not to embarass them. That ticked me off.

[muetank]

i only hate rude people when thay get right in your face. and this one girl in school, i swear she says the word holler 500 time a day. its pissin the hell out of me. :flaming:

[SuperMuffin]

[color=orange]I would just like to say that if you ever need a comeback when someone says something to you but you ignore them and they go "hey we're talking to you". Just say "I'm sorry i dont speak dumb *** but apparently you do so maybe you could translate for me!" hehehe its off of the show everwood.[/color]

[tabmow]

I think your debate coach should not have let you debate that way. He or She should have know you could never place in a debate tournament dressed like that. stupid loser coach ;)
