Over the past few years an
epidemic of rudeness has swept the world. Here’s you will find some great ways how to perpetuate the disease. If you already do some of these, you are well on your track to being part of this bad mannered culture.
Many think they can just continue to get away with it or it's somehow a good thing to be nasty. The consequences are real and forthcoming for those misguided souls. But just for fun, let's look at these sure ways to be rude.
Many think they can just continue to get away with it or it's somehow a good thing to be nasty. The consequences are real and forthcoming for those misguided souls. But just for fun, let's look at these sure ways to be rude.
1) Ignore people.
- Don’t return phone calls.
- Never answer the phone. (ok I don't agree with this completely. I don't answer the phone often because of the type of work I do. But I do call back, text, email and respond regardless).
- Don’t listen when people talk to you.
- Talk on your cell phone when with others, especially in restaurants or other public places.
- Don’t acknowledge that others exist. The greatest insult that you can give someone is to ignore the person. If you excel at this skill you can skip the next four paragraphs.
2) Show disrespect. Make fun
of others.
- Assign stupid nicknames or deliberately mispronounce names.
- Make people wait for you.
- Laugh at other people’s mistakes, struggles, and fears.
- Use sarcasm and cynicism freely.
- Treat people like idiots. Disrespect is powerful because it strips people of their dignity.
3) Criticize. Find fault in
everything.
- Spread gossip. Complain about anything and everything.
- Remind people about mistakes they made, even if decades ago.
- If possible, embellish your complaints with exaggerated descriptions of failure.
- Keep a written log of faults, flaws, and fumbles so you can grind on them daily.
- Develop a whining tone to your voice. Critics reduce everything to dirt.
4) Be negative.
- Master pessimism. Attack every change or new idea.
- Always focus on failure. Expect the worst to happen.
- Never accept or approve anything.
- Refuse to participate or cooperate in any endeavor.
- If something appears to work despite your efforts, cause delays so you can prepare fresh arguments against it. Aggressive gloom creates perpetual hopelessness.
5) Get mad.
- Throw tantrums.
- Scream.
- Yell.
- Shout.
- Slam doors.
- Hit walls.
- Throw things.
- Act violent.
- Use accusations, insults, and threats to disrupt conversations.
- Tolerate nothing.
- Insist on retribution.
- Always attack first.
- Blame your anger on others. Unpredictable, insane behavior keeps other people off balance.
