It can be dirty, stupid, weird, as long as it's rude! The opposite of proper etiquette!

I had been in an accident that left me with shattered front teeth. I was self-conscious about it. Before I could get them fixed, some jackass (a complete stranger) walked up to me and very coldly said, "Your teeth look sooooo stupid. Why do you walk around looking like that? You'd better get those teeth fixed RIGHT NOW because your f**ked-up face is making me want to puke." I was really embarrassed. Did he think that I didn't realize that my dental work was messed up? There are little things called "appointments" that you have to make with doctors to get things done, you know. I had to wait until the dental clinic could get me in for that large a repair job, because it was going to be a rather long ordeal. Anyway, that comment was the absolute last thing I needed to hear.

It is nasty, but for guys it's the new definition of "cool." So annoying and embarrasing for them though!

Miss Manners would ask "why is that fat guy not wearing a shirt?" (I'm overweight and I don't flaunt my spare tire). However, I do agree that under certain circumstances it is rude to poke fun (or outright make insults) about someones weight (or whatever).

Yes there are some extremlly rude whop heads here. If they don't like what they read they need to go do something else instead of being hateful and rude.

sure it is called courtesy and most people lack it these days! especially on the bus! I know what you mean; like I wana hear some girl or guy fighting with their gilfriend or boyfriend over the phone or especially swearing when their are kids present! You should be the cellphone ettiquette spokesperson! I will join your team too!

If no one is around spit it out, If you have people around show some respect and swallow it. Its considered rude to some people.

The problem comes from the definition of "Rude", rude simply means going against the normal social etiquette you're used to, so one man's rude is another man's polite.\n\nI'm english, we're big on etiquette, this is what a conversation might look like when I'm paying for my groceries:\n\n"That'll be five pounds please."\n"Thanks, here you are"\n"Thank you, here's you're change"\n"Thanks"\n\nSee, we just put the word "Thank you" everywhere, even when I'm giving *them* something I say it. Does that mean anyone who had that conversation and didn't say thank you enough (or at all) is rude? Well, to an English person maybe, but if you were to have that conversation in Finland, they'd think you were on drugs. In Finland you only say Thank You, if you really actually mean it (i.e. You'd say thank you if someone gave you a gift, but not if someone passed you the salt at dinner)\n\nIt get's worse, in England (and the States) it's polite to say "How are you?" or something when you meet someone. I now live in Holland and many Dutch people find that rude, since when we don't ask the question because we care, but because we're just being polite, making the question a lie.\n\nThe Dutch are big on "Honesty" to the degree where many English people find them hopelessly rude. I've had situations where I've asked for something in a shop and the person's just glared at me, slapped whatever it is down on the counter, muttered the price and gone back to generally glaring and looking angry at everything around them. It's not that they're meaning to be rude, they're just having a bad day and they don't see any reason to hide it.\n\nI don't find Americans that rude, they tend to say Please and Thank You, and they tend to make a show of looking pleased to see you when they meet you.

It is very rude. That is one of my biggest pet peeves - People talking to other people while I'm on the phone with them. My Fiance does that all the time and it drives me up the wall!!!

People tend to be nice to each other, nothing wrong with that, plus if you have nothing nice to say its better to say nothing at all

When people say rude or unpleasant things to another person without any provocation it is because they are lacking something in their personality.  They are weak and/or jealous.  Just ignore them completely.  Some of us very much enjoy answering your questions!  Take care... :)

Never ask "How was it?"\nIt is annoying and cheezy.\nIt also puts the person in a bad spot...They have to say something nice!

some cultures do not follow the same protocols as us.  Religion, law, cultural differences play a big part.\nNow if you are talking about people you work with etc. and they work with the public or in close proximity to the public then it is rude.
