Have you ever been intentionally rude to someone?

Question

I can't help but notice that people seem to be getting less tolerant and more rude these days. I can't lie and say I haven't been, but it takes instigating to get me going. So, I'm curious: are you ever intentionally rude? Why or what does it take to get you to be, if anything?

I'd like to say I haven't been but I have... back story
I went to a part with two friends a girl and a guy. The girl drove us into the city to the party (about 45minutes from my house). around 2am the guy friend started asking people at the party if they could get him cocaine. the female friend is a hard line anti-drug person and flipped out. she got furious, hopped in her car and left us stranded in the city. I had to call a friend at 3am to drive an hour into the city to pick us up... I understand her stance against drugs but it seemed like a real betrayal of my friendship with her to simply leave me standing in a city at 2am. there was never an apology which to me showed a real disrespect for me

fast forward about 2 years. I ran into her at a bar. I was with friends and she was with friends as well, and our friend groups overlapped. she approached me and said hi what's up. I said hi in return and she began talking like nothing ever happened. After she stopped talking a said, sorry I gotta go talk to a friend

it seemed rude to sort of blow her off but felt I was owed at the very least an apology for her abandoning me for having done nothing wrong... stinks too because she had been a good friend up until that night

Yep, but I never ever initiate the rudeness. I am super kind at my night job in retail, I will help you and get the best deals possible- once I get someone rude or who talks down to me, I almost go out of my way to get away form them and give them as little help as possible- old women who never worked a day in their life are huge culprits of this. -Just because you work an hourly job does not mean you are above me.

In general I am told I am a very kind and trusting person though lol

Yes, sometimes I am. Lately, I've been dealing with this asshole guy at school who I used to be friends with. He's been acting like a jerk towards me. He won't stop making sly comments about me/directed towards me. Everyone notices it. I'm sure he doesn't care if they do, though. I try my best not to stoop to his level, but once in a while, I may slip.

I'm only ever intentionally rude if someone is rude with me first. And even then I try not to be. I can't people that are rude for no reason.

It's rarely intentional, its just my personality, I'm a bitch.

Hans222 · Answer

I takes a lot to get me so far I'd be intentionally rude. I'm generally a fairly calm, friendly and tolerant person.
The only thing that would make me be rude is when for example someone would intentionally harm a person I love, or be the most brutal person around without a known reason.
If someone is in trouble due to circumstances and freaks out I'll stay calm and kind and try to relax the situation.

RedThread · Answer

I'm rarely intentionally rude. If I am rude to people it's without realizing I'm being rude. I have been guilty of this in the past and I only realized it when someone brought it to my attention. I'm always looking to be a better person so of course I made changes each time.

Illusive_Man · Answer

I don't recall ever being rude to someone lol call it a lie or whatnot but I just can't  :O

AleDeEurope · Answer

Hell yeah, and I'll do it again. I'm very respectful and it takes quite a lot to get me to snap and be rude, but if you press the wrong buttons I can be the rudest, and I don't care, cause if I'm rude to you; you deserve it.

Octavius · Answer

I have a few times. I do try to apologize though. There have been a few times where I was rude to someone started to walk away but begrudgingly turned around and ran them down and apologized for what I said to them even if I was still pissed.

Mesonfielde · Answer

No, because I would have to remove my own posts, which is just counterproductive. That doesn't mean people don't sometimes claim I am rude because I disagreed with them, though.

No, never. I have nothing to gain from it and it just hurts the other persons feelings. What's the point?

annoyymouse · Answer

I hate to say it, but I have. It only happens if the person has really frustrated me to a point that I just cannot take it anymore. I try to be patient, but sometimes it's just too mich

Anonymous · Answer

I am guilty of it. It was either due to me being vengeful because of something they did in the past, or because I was into them and I just didn't know how to handle my feelings for them.

Vesuvius87 · Answer

No, you would really have to be very obnoxious and rude in order for me to get that way.

Anonymous · Answer

Only when they are unquestionably rude to me first and not always then. It depends on my mood, sometimes I am very demonstrably over-polite to them back as a way of highlighting their rudeness.

When someone is rude to me a switch in my brain flips and I just... forget to hold back.

Anonymous · Answer

I've never been intentionally rude to someone but I've had urges to be rude to homeless people. It's like fuck, the only time anyone comes to talk to me is when they want something from me, like money. Nobody could care less about me otherwise.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. Mainly to people who, over time, gave me cause to do so. Sometimes I will be to strangers, as it can be effective power posturing.
