Rudeness is disrespect and not behaving according to social norms, etiquette.

How to deal with rude people so you don’t become of them.

1. Ignore them, pretend you don’t hear them.
2. Be friendly, smile. For example when you on the bus at this lady keeps pushing her bags on you, say something like hi how are you, your bags are in my way.
3. Another way is to use their name. For example: Helen I wanted to say something is bothering me you never say hi when you see me on the street, ask her/him why.
4. Walk away. If it is someone you don’t know is easier sometimes to let things go.
5. Talk to your boss, or even ask the person why they are acting so rude.
6. Some people don’t realize how rude they are. Tell them this is the only way to solve a problem. And if they still act rudely towards you ignore them. Do not start fights I really don’t think it’s worth it.
