If someone you don't know cussed you out while you were at work, would you respond with the same energy?

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes. Come at me like an asshole, and I'll be an asshole right back. 🖕

No. Always remain respectful and professional on the clock, no matter what happens

In the office (s) that practically never happens, the managers would ask for a meeting. Outside I once had a truck driver yelling at me redfaced, for basically blocking the road. Since it was my fault, I made an apologetic hand gesture and moved my car. When it's not my fault and someone tries it, I can yell and cuss back in the same tone, no problem.

I'm always very calm and composed at all times especially in the professional buisness sphere and I don't entertain provocation so I would simply ignore it.

Honestly, probably not. If I'm at work, I'm not going to let a random person ruin my mood or risk my job over them. I'd stay calm, tell them I won't accept being spoken to that way, and move on.

Now, would I think of a few things I could have said afterward? Absolutely. 😂

[EmmaMary]

No absolutely not, I would completely ignore it and continue with my day.

[andreasderjuengere]

No. My energy is different.

They are now on their own. I am busy elsewhere.

[Iron_Man]

I would respond with something it doesn’t mean I would have to cuss like he does

[EmmaMary]

@Iron_Man

Always remember the greatest insult you can give someone is by completely ignoring them.

Why waste your time and energy getting involved in some pathetic confrontation.

[tiredpanda]

Nope. I would simply ignore it

[queenofcardio]

No, not while I'm at work
