How do you deal with rude people?

[Anii]

Hi OH! 

What do you do when you encounter a rude person? I work part-time as a tutor and I met a student who was quite mean. He poked fun at my name and was quite rude. I remained professional and still taught him. The interaction didn't ruin my day, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. So, how do you deal with rude people during and post-interaction?

Thanks!

When I deal with rude people, I simply call them out on it and talk rudely back to them. But when it comes to a work setting, I would suck it up and let out my frustrations later. Though if I were in your place, I would’ve probably already left just so he can do his work alone lol, if by any chance, you meet him again, maybe you can talk about how he was being immature and being rude to you.

Rude ppl would always think they’re superior bcz of their rudeness but in fact they’re the most pitiful becz they use rudeness to build a wall a round themselves so people don’t see how empty they’re inside

So I recommend you ignore that cuz all they want is attention it’s the only way they can get it anw

Since the rude person you're talking about is your student, it's better to let them know that you'll appreciate it if if they stop poking fun at your name because it is offensive, unnecessary and not funny.

Most of the time when I get vocal and called out rude people, they usually stop since they were not expecting that someone will call them out of their behavior. There are also times where I just ignore them especially if I know that I won't be seeing them again anyway.

We just have to choose our battles wisely and protect our peace.

You're not obligated to support people who act rudely. For next time, you can tell whomever is acting rudely that you won't accept their behaviour as it is only a service that you are giving out of your time. As for yourself, you can use this experience to remind yourself of what you want to expect from a (healthy) social relationship.

I just ignore them, but if I have to talk to get something I get REALLY NICE on purpose, and call them "thank you SO MUCH, you're so nice!" and that seems to piss them more

Just ignore them. If these kids went out of line and did something that's even worse, report them to their parents.
