How do I deal with a friend who keeps acting rude to me?

you take them aside and ask them why they are treating you in a rude way, if they tell you then maybe you can work things out, or if they say to you tough luck, you need to take the person out of your life.

Give him one chance to prove he is a friend.  In private, tell him how his behavior is hurting you and ask him to stop.  If he does it again, he's not really your friend.

The best thing to do is to greet them, the way you would do any other customer.  Just because he is rude, doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to his level.  If he gets mad for interrupting him, then that's his problem to own, not yours!  Keep doing what you're doing.  You are an asset to your company!

I am in that exact situation now.  I have 2 groups of close friends that hate each other and are constantly bitching about each other to me, who's stuck in the middle.  I deal with it by telling them I get on with all of them and I won't listen to them bitching about each other cos it is seriously annoying.  It's a hard spot to be in but if you get on with them all you have to stay on the fence.

Stand up to them. Be willing to find new friends that won't treat you that way. Call them on the carpet, the next time they step out of line, hit them back, verbally. They will either respect you and lay off, or they'll stop being your friend, in which case you didn't need them anyway.

Ignore it. She sounds like a trouble-maker and not a reliable source. You can also call her back and ask her to stop harrassing you.

You guys are unbelievable. I can't believe you all are answering questions in the Etiquette area.\n\nSometimes, you just have to put up with listening to stuff you don't want to hear.  Politely excuse yourself, period.  Tell them you have to go.\n\nBeing rude will net you nothing but another enemy. There's no reason for that - you never know when the person you're talking to now will appear again in your life -- maybe a boss, a co-worker, or a friend's friend, or worse, a waitress or waiter who has the ability and opportunity to spit in your food.  It's always a good idea to be polite to everyone, and it's just the right thing to do.

Hi\n\n   If he is your friend like you stated please do not ignore him because that is not what suppose it friends do. I would simply say just talk to him have a serious one on one chat and let him know you do not view him in a way which can lead to anything but pure friendship. Hopeful he will be mature enough to understand that friendship is all you desire out of this relationship. \n  \nNow on the other hand if he ends up being a DICK about it you can just simply cut him off and then ignore him. I hope I helped

tell her that her bahavior is making you uncomfortable, she doesnt sound like a good friend who should be more considerate of your feelings...

Confront her about it. Then tell her that you will not tolerate it anymore. Tell her that you will put an end to your friendship if it continues. You can always ask her what is her reason for doing it and why she is doing it.

She knows she will get a reaction from you when she makes fun of you.  If you react in a different way it will either soon bore her or she will not like the reaction she receives.  So you could ignore her or you could give her a dose of her own medicine and put her down.  As a last resort for someone who absolutely will not stop this type of behavior, warn them that the next time they put you down you will do something about it, and you must follow through. It is more important for your well being and peace of mind to take this extreme action.  Unfortuanetly in life there are some people who are just real jerks and this is the only way you can deal with them.

I'd say talk to your friend at a time when your emotions aren't stirred up, and let her know that some of her behavior is bothering you.  She might not realize that you are so upset about it.

The best thing you can do is keep out of it: they'll sort it out eventually. You don't have to put up with their nonsense, though, especially if it makes you unhappy, and you should let them know. Don't make a big drama out of it, or you'll be pandering to their feelings that this fight is a huge big thing and probably help spin it out even longer. Just say to them firmly "none of that crap around me, please. You two can take your arguments elsewhere or be quiet." If one of them is with you and tries to make you avoid the other one, just say "don't be stupid, just act like an adult, can't you?!" As they no doubt care about you, after a while they'll settle down. If one of your friends decides not to be friends with you any more because you won't take sides, then they're not really a true friend, and you're better off spending your time doing other things.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

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.

Talk to the friend.  Ask him what is going on with him, and let hm know that you have observed a change.  Maybe he is under some severe personal stress, or dealing with depression or some other mood altering condition.  Depending on the response that you get, you may either find a way to work out the solution with the cranky friend, or go to management to seek a solution.  \n\nNo matter what the friend says or does, make certain that your behavior is professional.  If you do decide after trying to work out the problem with both the friend and the management, that you will no longer choose to work there, then give proper notice, do your work, get a good reference and go find another job, preferably while you are still working.
