Rude People!

Hello readers!

I have a rant about rude people. I know I've ranted about flakes, but this just irks me!

I'm in a Psychology of Adjustment class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. My teacher encourages a class discussion/participation. I'm the type of person who likes to talk and hear other peoples' stories! However, there is this older woman in my class I would probably put around my Mom's age. She LOVES to talk and give her two cents, but whenever I'm talking she is so incredibly rude! She'll sigh, crack a joke, etc. And today, she asked Cynthia (my teacher) if she "remembered what we discussed on Friday" (we talked about staying on topic) and "that's all she wanted to say" right after I said something! Everyone was still copying the notes, so I wasn't interrupting anything! I always listen to her stories about her previous drug use or her rebellious teenager, but am I interested in it? No, not really but I am still courteous, and I let her speak!

I talked to Cynthia after class and I told her how this woman is really bothering me! I was taught to listen when someone is speaking, and have common courtesy! She said to take the high road and not say anything. I told her if it continues, I'd have to say something! Not be confrontational, but just tell her she's being extremely rude! Cynthia said if it happened again on Wednesday, she would discuss being rude to the class.


How many times have you had to keep your mouth shut about a rude person? Did you confront them, or take the high road and let it go?


Later Days!
