How to deal with rude people

by Wendy Owen

Created on: December 19, 2008

In our daily lives we all run across rude and inconsiderate people. These people seem to have an attitude about them that makes them think they are of more importance than the rest of us are. I'm sure we have all experienced the person as the gas pump that will pump their gas and then go into the store and shop around, go to the restroom, stand and chat and then after what seems to be an eternity they decide to finally come out and move their vehicle to where someone else can get their fuel.

Yesterday I was in the smoke shop and I was in a hurry and there was a man in front of me in line and after he purchased his cigarettes, knowing I was in line behind him, he proceeded to ask the owner questions about her business. He asked question after question not even considering that there was someone in line behind him, then he started talking about the weather and was giving many opinions on the topic, his refusal to move to the side to ask questions and chat so I could purchase my items and leave irked me immensely.

One of my lady friends from church turned out to be an inconsiderate person in my eyes lately. I was pretty much in shock. With the holidays upon us the lines at the post office are unbearable to say the least. I was in line at the post office and I feel my business there is just as important as others so I stand in line quietly but impatiently waiting my turn when my lady friend came in, seen the line, went to the unopened window and reached her arm around and handed the postal worker her item. It's like she didn't even care that others were waiting in line properly, she did not care that she took the postal worker away from those of us in line, and the postal worker waited on her with no pause in doing so. I don't understand why, she should have been told to wait in line. After I left the post office I proceeded towards the bank and I was going through the drive-through when none other than my lady friend cut me off and jumped in line in front of me at the drive-through of the bank. I was appalled and angry.

I learned recently that my second husband considers me to be what he calls a, "Bleeding Heart". I personally consider him to be an inconsiderate person. He was not this way when we first met of course. He was doing everything he could to woo me into his life, I was always getting flowers for no reason, he always opened the door for me, he always took me to movies and to dinner, this of course changed and now I see the real him. He has the attitude
