Is it okay to do what they are asking for, even if  they are rude?

well if its loud enough to disturb them then yes you should probably turn it down a little\n\nin a way by yelling outside of your door they might feel they are giving you a taste of your own medicine, I mean its still rude of them, I'm just saying try and understand where their fustrations come from\n\nalso it might help if you move the TV/speakers away from any walls near your neighbours, that might lessen the noise for them

Yes, it is rude.\n\n"Don't make quick judgments!"

This is indeed an awkward situation. I also never know what to do because sometimes it would be an insult because they don't want to be treated the same as the rest of the staff because they own the place, and so because of that I usually don't!

Someone tells you how to do something that you would reasonable be expected to know how to do.  Someone is overly polite, calling you "sir" or "m'am" when that would not ordinarily be done.  \n\nYou might also give some consideration to what constitutes being respected indirectly.

well, if your experiece is that people won't even take the time to get to know you then it's natural for you to want to be rude to them. those jerks... they left you all alone!! so yes, i would say it's human nature... therefore normal for you to be rude and untalkitive.

It depends on the manners.\nBut mainly if yes if you want to keep your dignity.

I asked this question here, I was told it was rude of me to expect a thank you by a lot of posters.  I still think it's not me who is rude...and I still say "You're welcome" to these people to try and get them to remember what we all learned in preschool--say thank you when someone does something nice for you.

It depends on the relationship I have with the person.  If they are family, I just get nasty with them and don't pull any punches.  (and I can strip someone with my tongue very easily)  If they are an acquaintance, I just ignore them.  In my situation, this is the worst possible insult they can receive as most folks around me like being in my company.  I let the person see me looking great, laughing (could be about them or not) and generally having a great time.  I'm like you, I prefer not to swear, as it shows poor manners, so sometimes my revenge is more a mental discipline then a verbal one.

Never - when I hear the phone ring (which isn't often cause I've turned it down so low), if I'm busy with my 1 year old twins, then forget it, my kids are more important than whoever is on the phone, and they should leave a message if they want to be called back.\n\nYou are right, people who answer your phone are rude, none of their business who is calling you!  Stand up for your privacy rights and say something (politely) to the effect of "Please don't answer my private calls."  If they get offended it's their fault - know that offense is taken, not given.

What about the people who talk much louder on their cell phones while in the checkout lane. And what about a person on their cell phone when they are at the pharmacy picking up a prescription and the pharmacist is trying to tell them about the medication? And what about the people who sit down in a restaurant and won't give the server the time of day and then get mad because their drink order wasn't taken as soon as they sat down?\n\nI hope and pray that this does not become acceptable. Each and every day I personally encounter rudeness about 80% percent of the time. And when I finally think that the world has come to its end someone will show an act of politeness.

If you truly feel that they are offending you with their behavior (hopefully your employer has a sign somewhere that says "We have the right to refuse service to anyone"), tell them that you just work there and wish they could be nice to you as you would like to be nice to them.  If they continue to be disrespectful and rude, I would simply walk away, go to your supervisor - explain the situation and allow them to handle the customer.  No - I do not believe that "The customer is always right".  When people are rude and inconsiderate they need to understand that is not always going to get their way.  If you are the supervisor, depending on the corporate environment - they may kiss that customer's behind or tell them they cannot help them and that perhaps they would find service elsewhere.

Yes, it would be quite rude to serve anything that you yourself would not eat or drink unless you have a known problem with the dish or drink (recovering alcoholic or allergic to the food).Then again, if you had an aversion to something it would be understood if you did not serve it to anyone.\n\nSo yes, you really need to consume at least a little of whatever it is that you are serving to your guests for proper etiquette.

be open and honest with them, sometimes being polite is not the right thing to do, just tell them that you dont want to talk to them and if its really that bad say you dont want to talk to them now or ever again.

Most of the time they aren't but you have to do what they want or lose their business. It s*ucks but its true.\n\nSometimes they are right, but then you dont feel as annoyed to do what they want!

I wouldn't wait until they commit the "offense". That's kinda rude and bitchy. Say the guy digs in his ear with his little finger. What do you say, "Oh, God, I hate when peole do that! I'm outta here." You have to get to know someone first before critizing them for their small personality quirks.
