Rudeness

Rudeness is exactly the opposite of etiquette: lack of consideration, courtesy and respect towards others.

Some acts of rudeness include:

1) Cutting into a checkout line at the store.
2) Speaking loudly on the cell phone, so everybody hears you.
3) Spitting on the sidewalk.
4) Treating a service provider with arrogance.
5) Not cleaning after your pet.
6) Speaking obscenities in public places.
7) Littering.
8) Smoking in non-smoking places.
9) Making cynical or sarcastic comments with the pure intention to hurt your listener.
10) Not controlling your kids.

But, how do you react to rudeness?

Do not lose your temper and always keep control of your emotions and your feelings.Remember, if you take it personal, you lose. So, don’t!

Assess the situation and don’t let rudeness be in control instead of you. With your kindness and courtesy in control, everybody wins.
