That’s totally my defense, too, when I can’t get back at someone for whatever reason. I was going up some stairs at a station on Friday, and these two kids came running down my side (the WRONG side, for them); I tried to hold my ground, but one of the kids yelled something at me in another language, and I got all frustrated and moved over just as they passed. I felt bad about it all night, but now I’m consoling myself with the fact that they were minorities, teenagers, and rude. Being smart pretty much makes me feel superior in every situation; I’m glad you understand that.

And yes, not only do I love seersucker, but I wanted to really emphasize the fact that I am classy and this woman was wearing ORANGE.

Indeed. Much like Aaron Earl Luke Warren, I have two middle names, and they are Impatient and Cranky.

But . . . but . . . what about MY satisfaction?! I can’t just let people push me around! I’m not a Christian, so that whole “turn the other cheek” rule doesn’t apply to me!

You know what? I’m okay with being rude-rich myself if this rude-fortune you speak of is something physical I can swim around in a la Scrooge McDuck’s vault of gold coins. I scoff the rude-poor and embrace my wealth, which–funnily enough–still allows me to be rude. Only now instead of waiting for people to be rude to me first so I can seek revenge, I get to be the aggressor. HaHA!

So is the solution to stop being rude back to people or to just let them know WHY I’m being rude back to them? I always secretly hope that someone will pipe up and say something to them just so I can explain that I’m never like that unless provoked. Just like I hate leaving less than 15% tip, because I don’t want to have to be the weird girl who writes a note at the bottom of the receipt listing the things my waiter could’ve done to get their full reward.

I do so hate it when people are remarkably inconsiderate of things like the flow of (carless) human traffic in public places, personal space, etc. I don’t really get the impulse to repay rude-for-rude, but I DO revel in smug satisfaction that I’m probably a smarter and more well-adjusted person than they are.

six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I am so pleased that you wear seersucker. Not only that you wear it, but that you want everyone to know that you wear it. It truly is a noteworthy material.

Eh, you don’t seem THAT rude. Just impatient and cranky with all those people around you. I don’t know how you stand it!

I have to agree with the comments on here. I like to treat other people rudeness with apathy. Especially those people who are being rude just for the sake of being rude. Don’t give them the satisfaction of acknowledgment.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you are rude.

All these years of stealing from the rude-rich and keeping it for yourself has resulted in your own little rude-fortune. I no longer consider you part of the rude-poor nation, and see nothing wrong with others being rude to you.

I totally understand that your rudeness is reactionary only. But genuinely rude people never seem to realize that they’re being rude in the first place, so I’m sure they think you’re the rude one in the situation.

Except for that delivery guy. He knew he was in trouble and was trying to cover his ass.
