What do you do when a co worker says something that was rude to you?

[Tonita91996]

Well it depends on what they said but at the same time but it's the same time anytime anybody that says something rude bullies you or whatever you have to stand right up to them and say whatever you need to say to fit whatever just happened to establish that you are not going to be f***** with if you don't then they think that they can keep doing it and you can do it in a manner that is respectful to a point

[ArrowheadSW]

Usually nothing. Often that is just done out of stress at work and they don't know they are doing it. If it crosses a line you can politely defend yourself. Usually if you politely point out that they were rude to you, they'll "get it" and back off.

[BlueScorpio]

Depends on well I know them, cause I have a few coworkers where we trash talk each other for fun. Usually it's my male coworkers I do this with cause we're cool with each other. Other than that I would be highly upset, and will probably go to management about first so I don't end up saying or doing something that might get me fired.

[dustybiker]

Rudeness brings out my dry humor irl. I would most likely make the situation bigger to highlight their behavior back on themselves. 98% of the time you catch it the first time they won’t risk doing it again, to me, anyway.

[dustybiker]

This works well irl. On forums people think they are infallible.

[GreatBigCircles]

Usually I just ignore if it’s just them venting and it’s not disrupting the work. But when it starts making my work hard to do, or is outright malicious I just take it to the manager. I’m at work to do work, not do playground posturing for some imaginary pecking order. And if they’re gonna whine and call me a tattle tale so be it. I like having friends for coworkers, but sometimes you get little shids instead.

[Dee00_2x]

If I feel disrespected I’ll always address it no matter what or who it is. I’ve realized a lot of people at certain jobs never really grow out of the bully mentality or some try to relive high school days so if you let it slide they’ll think you’re a target.

[NottaNatty]

It depends what it what they said, normally I wouldn't give it much thought. if it really bugged me tho and was uncalled for I'd probably call them out on it in a joking way, just enough to make them feel stupid about it but that Im not gonna be a jerk back.

[Blueeyes81]

Depends on who it is. If I don't think I'll end up in hr I'll not so politely put them in their place. If they are a tattletale then I'll usually chime back with a pg-13 comeback that'll keep me out of trouble. If its someone I like and I think they are just having a bad day I just let it go. I don't work in an office and its fast paced and stressful so the language thrown around is often pretty colorful.

[Anonymous]

I definitely call them out, but try to do so in a graceful way... I'm told that's part of why the owner hired me for management, I say what she thinks but with tact... Granted if my being tactful doesn't work she has no problem going momma-bear on the offender.

[Opinion Owner]

Alternatively, squirting super glue into the locks on all of the doors on their car except the rear passenger is always fun

[Changiis07]

Depends what it was and if it's something I can get over it or need to escalate to HR, or have a talk with them

[Sour-rose]

Well i ain't just gonna let them get away with it, i may push back like "wtf you say to me, n*gga?"

[DrBanana]

I just sone face for a few seconds to show that im not reacting or biting then carry on or change the subject.

Ifi it carrys on then I just act cold but proffesional and give small talk only.

[Aerolyn]

Probably ignore it, but if they keep doing it then I would probably have to do something more about it.

[Sexiestjohnson]

Best to tell the person you didn't like what he or she said. They might not even think it a big deal.

[AviatorTom]

I generally don't do anything. If they are repeatedly rude, I'll do something to get even... I don't get angry or feel hurt.

[bolverk]

As a Brit I would use four words "I beg your pardon?" depending on the tone and force of it can be the question it seems or a threat, analogous to WTF.

[LivingExample]

So much of our time is spent at work, it is best to address issues when they happen! Maybe the person did not realize they were being rude. If they did this would give them the opportunity to apologize!

[shesrad]

pretend not to hear it and walk away drives them insane

[RedStiletto88]

I’ll just smile and say something snippy to them, then walk away

[20yearsolder]

Go fuck yourself? Fuck off? Please work very well. They learn pretty quick not to say anything rude

[Light909090]

Smack her In the Face With my Dick and get charged with Sexual assault nah I’m joking
I Would say something rude back

[Sarahplus2]

Depends what it is. Not worth fist fight over at work. I might say something back

[Anonymous]

that's never necessarily happened to me before with a coworker, but i would probably go "oh" and go quiet and walk away.

[Fireguy17]

Crop dust them when I walk by.

I don't get even, I get ahead.

[FunkyMonkee]

I whip out one of my tits and SLAP him or her in the face with it!!

[HaveNoName]

You either confront him/her and put them in their place... or you keep taking the shit... There is NO THIRD WAY around it.

[Anonymous]

Ignore HER. Bet it is a catty witch.

[CuriousMufuxka]

I smile and walk away the first time :) If said "incident" occurs again, I pull whoever aside for a private "chat".

[Lincoln33]

Just ignore and walk away, I promise that he/she will find a way to say sorry, even if is not directly

[lorenzomichael]

I woud tell them as politely as i could to go fuck themselves

[Userisrohit]

Unless it doesn't disturb the work and ambience i am in.
I will just smile 😁

[jongreat46]

if you are that sensitive, then report it to your manager and get known as a snitch.

[Nazgol]

Confront them and ask what's up why the rudness. Just talk it out

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I usually just say “no need to self project”

[skeptik]

Advise them that you feel offended by what they said and would appreciate if they didn't do so again

[Pinay_ako]

I’d say excuse me?

[burlen]

Tell them that what they have said is rude.

[JosyJosy]

"Say that again?"

[Googlemyahoo]

Go eat a bowl of dicks

[Jennz6]

Ignore the person

[Wise4myage]

Id call her out on it.

[Iron_Man]

Play the game back don’t put up with it

[prosmind]

I don't react though it hurts me.

[OddBeMe]

Mmkay. Never burn a bridge.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Return the favor and act so casual about it.

[Methis]

Normally a "go f*** yourself" works for me.

[Snakeyes7]

"I'm sorry you feel that way"

[maximumpower]

Note it to myself.
Use it next time around.

[Deserter]
