1. Rude person whizzing past you and missing you from within quarter of an inch whilst riding their bike on the footpath you’re walking on – particularly where there is NO cycle path shared with the footpath.

Solution : if you see it coming, give them the elbow and knock them off their bike! (this is a personal favourite of mine)

2. Rude person you don’t even know who simply walks up to you and begins a seemingly innocent interaction which instantly turns nasty with some antisocial behaviour

Solution : Ask them if they had their medication today.

3. Rude person who tries to muscle you out of the way when queuing for something.

Solution : Regardless of their gender, stamp really really (and I mean really) hard on their foot, and don’t even apologise!

4. Rude people coming up to you in the street or even blocking your path so you can’t get to where you need to go, just in order to ask you for money or to sign up to a charity*

Solution : Wear headphones when you’re in the city – that way you have a legitimate excuse for ignoring them.

*I’ve actually had one of these arrested by the police for harassment.

5. Rude people that make loud noise or any other disturbance when it is clearly not appropriate in a situation.

Solution : Do and say nothing, pay no attention to it and when it is least convenient to them, do exactly the same thing back.

Other alternatives (if you are ever sharing a living space): Disconnect the electricity (fuse board) or short out the electricity (insulated wire coat hanger)

6. Rude people who display passive aggressive behaviour.

Solution : Give it right back. If they ask you something or simply exclaim something during conversation, just say you’re confused and that you don’t understand what they’ve just said.. This gives you time to think up a reason for why you are confused and also make them look incredibly dumb.

7. Rude people who insult you to your face for no reason at all

Solution : Thank them form the bottom of your heart – and try to make it sound sincere. Do not raise your voice or look even bothered by it.

8. Rude people who see fit to occupy a space where it is CLEARLY evident to even a partially sighted person that someone or a collection of people have reserved it for a reasonable period of time in reasonable circumstances. Particularly in public places, reserved seats on trains, theatres or other places with reserved seating.

Solution : Ask them politely to move. If this doesn’t work (and lets face it, this probably won’t work), tell them that you are educated and that they are clearly not so, as they can’t tell the difference between what has been reserved and what has not. Failing this, if it is at all possible, have them removed from that location or even embarrass them to the extent where they need to move.

9. Rude people that tail gate right behind you when you are driving.

Solution : Tail gating is extremely dangerous. Slow right down to a reasonable speed.

Side note : I’ve actually known someone to get the hump with this kind of behaviour and assess the other parties car and their own car’s safety features and just slam the breaks on.

10. Rude people you just don’t like for any reason which is within the bounds of normality.

Solution : Just ignore them, even when they talk to you.

He isn’t the God of the dead, He’s the God of the living. Which means right here, right now, you have to live your life in circumstances which may make you very angry and which God wouldn’t have chosen for you. But Jesus wants us to forgive. He forgave all of us for crucifying Him when He came to earth out of love; He expects us to do the same if we want to be welcomed in the Kingdom of Heaven.

I also think you may want to take a look at the lives of Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, and see that evil isn’t limited to white people. It’s the result of sin entering the world through our ancestors, who were a bunch of different colors.

I pray that God will quench your anger and give peace to your soul.
