Pestilencing others, maybe.  Pestering, no.

Rude people that think they can talk to and treat others with indignity.

Yes. You might be interestsed James Q. Wilson's "broken windows" theory of behavior. The theory says that signs of disorder encourage disorderly behavior in those that witness them. Check out the website for a good summary of the theory.\n\nMalcolm Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" also has a very good chapter on how this theory was put to use to combat New York City's crime epidemic of the 80s and 90s.

Yea, for the most part. We all have bad habits. I suppose the trick is keeping them hidden from those who are impressionable.

not every ones personality clicks. however, we don't have to please everybody because we cant! however, it is good to be sosociable with all people! a simple hello, a smile. or a thank you if we are in a store . so if people act differently its them not you or i.  we all should try to get along as far as we can. if we cant then move on. history, culture, whatever the case may be we all should have a conscience!! we all know right from wrong and good and bad. god made us that way!!! so if people act differently its not you or i its them! i hope you see my  point on this matter. and yes every culture has their own beliefs .  and their own ways.that does not mean they have to be rude or unsocialable  people talk different languages. so we all don't talk different languages however its good to take a foreign language. it can be very use full. i took french, and Spanish. that way i can talk to other people and make friends. like i said some are sociable some are not. i just move on. shake the dust off my feet. its their loss. maybe our gain. thank you Kat

Naw, I just don't have the energy anymore to do that. I'd rather find a more constructive method of steering them towards better behavior. I see your point, but I find if you do it that way the message is lost on them. If they are a real pain, I just ignore them as you tend to lower yourself to their level and sometimes silence in a better way to deal with such people. Looks like you really ticked dragonfly off though.....come on everyone let's play nice before we forget why we even do this kind of stuff....fun right. Peace everyone.

Well some people are just like that.  We all have a habit or a tick or do something that drives another crazy. Even if one was as close to perfect as they come that would drive someone crazy!

This is not normal which you too know since you have felt it to be odd behaviour and sought advise too rightly.\nMay be it is a habit developed over a period of time from childhood days and the reason behind could be that to over come your feeling of inferiority complex or the fear comp-lex when meeting strangers you wanted to please them and show them you are a friend only not a rank outsider to shutthe door on your face. If you do not object I would compare it to the friendly behaviour of any unknown dog to any unknown person when the dog would wag its tail slowly at first and vehemently if his friendly advancements are receiprocated. Same way you want to show your friendliness to all .\nThough as a child no one felt it odd but as a grown up it is likely to be misunderstood as cheap behaviour,some may even take it in sexual way and start behaving with you still worse;\nI think by deliberate conscious efforts ypou can come over it.Do it with neighbours. \nIf not seek medical help.\nBEST OF LUCK

There are a lot of rude people out there.  I don't know if it is just distraction, everyone so busy and rushing and not paying attention.  Or is it just simply lack of being brought up with manners?  I would just ignore it and take the high road by being polite.  If everyone does this, the world will be a better place and maybe it will catch on.  In the end, they are the one that looks bad to anyone observing and you can feel good that you aren't them.

It makes you willing to let other people set the tone for your encounter with them. It is a valid social strategy unless  you allow them to upset you for longer than the encounter or the other person is violent.\n\nBe mild with the mild, shrewd with the crafty, confiding to the honest, rough to the ruffian, and a thunderbolt to the liar. But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity.\n-John Brown

It's called being a bad person. If it's a disorder then most of our country is afflicted.

It is not unhealthy, but it might be considered rude.

Arrogant persons would choose not to speak to others based on an assessment of order placement in the structure of their world.\n\nA Shy or quiet person doses not actively seek to speak to others based on a perception that the others have no interest in them.\n\nQuiet people often get labeled Arrogant because others always suspect the worst in everyone.\n\nThe best way to tell the difference is to start with Hello and gauge the reaction.
