God it took me forever to figure out (even when IM'ing). Just tell him that it's how you are.Et3rnalLegend64 said:

This, more than any other part of the article, annoys meCrysisMcGee said:
Fine, if I did something that i didn't know was rude, I'm sorry.. But when someone tells me I'm in the wrong, but not why, it really gets on my nerves. If I was rude, I'd like to know why, so I can avoid doing the same again.

I'm rarely rude, unless I'm tired and people are asking and complaining all the time.
The thing is, one of my friends thought my speech was a little rough or angry sounding when she IM'ed me even though I wasn't trying to be. Not much I can do about that.CrysisMcGee said:
I know exactly what you mean. Me and my ex decided to just be friends as we both knew that a relationship wasn't going to work out. We emailed each other for a few days, then one day she sent me the most abusive email I'd ever read for no reason, telling me to go f**k myself, I'm 'scum' and I don't deserve to have any friends. She won't even tell me what I've done wrong, and keeps threatening to get the police on me if I don't leave her alone.PublicFriendly said:
To be honest if i had had that talk i would have stood up, paused and then asked either A) to say it all again coz i wasn't listening or B) asked them what was the most unusual form of suicide/drug using they had ever heard...theflyingpeanut said:
Can you guess why i don't go to assembly and avoid all visitors lol
Even though most of my insults are mostly inside jokes that nobody gets, i still laugh sometimes (even when nobody does). Then again, i don't really care much for what people think about me so that's a major advantage.
Very much so. I had one teacher who taught Chemistry, and fair play he was a damned good teacher. When another student jokingly remarked he had a "cheesy" grin (He does- his nickname among students is "Cheddar"), he flips his lid and asks who the hell he thinks he is.Mad World said:
To the OP, yes that is rude. A direct approach usually works best, but if someone's ego is dented then it slows everything down- which, sadly, is often the case.
I'm rude when people do something I consider rude to me. The most extreme case was when I was smoking a cigarette (this is outdoors mind you) not having a good day when this cow of a woman starts lecturing me on second hand smoke. My response was something something along the lines of cutting her off mid sentence with "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize some fat fucking preachy disgrace of a human being was dictator of my fuckin' lungs. Who are you to take a stance on health when you look like you eat your weight in big macs every day? Am I blowing smoke in your face? no. You actually had to cross the goddamn street, which I'm sure was more exercise than you've had in a month, to tell me how to live my life. So if you're ready to get the hell out of my face now, I would like to finish my cig." Then I took my last puff, blew the smoke in her face and walked away.
I once ate most of the school.
On my planet that is a compliment, but the foolish Earthlings consider it rude...

To an extent, I've become a bit more blunt as a result of attempting to shake off the typical delusion that comes from putting overmuch importance in adapting the mental masks we wear for good social graces.
Tact can be tricky business in this stance. Too much tact and you're not being yourself: you're lying. Too little tact and you bring about hard feelings - because you're speaking truthfully, it'd not so much of because of what you did so much as because the receiving party is vulnerable.
If you're going to speak plainly, it is best to consider all parties involved and explain the situation properly. "We really enjoyed your performance, but I would like to get ready for gym class now and I'm worried your things are in the way." This level of explanation avoids a great many unnecessary hard feelings brought about by misinterpretation. No, I didn't hate your performance, I'm not giving you a verbal finger. I just want to get to gym class and there's a good reason why I'm bringing this up now.
Though do be prepared to find quite a few people's delusion runs so deep that they'll act thoroughly irrational and rude when faced with such a straightfaced appeal. Hey, in that situation at least you held up your end of the bargain by explaining the situation properly - if anything, they'll be the ones in danger of being considered rude.

Well this was because I misinterpreted some football once. When I watched football when I was little, whenever the receiver made an awesome catch, he raised one finger, I thought that was a signal to the ref that he caught it. Turns out, it was just one receiver saying "i'm number 1!"
One day in elementary school, I made a catch in the hallway (forgot what it was that I caught) and raised my MIDDLE finger. Everyone tried to tell me what that meant, but I didn't get it. I thought "that's what wide receivers do when they catch the ball!"
Oh little me, you still make me laugh and cringe.

I dont care either way- whatever approach will yield better results- thats how I rollSquid94 said:
Quite honestly, fuck manners. If I need to say something, or need to go somewhere, I'm not going to wait around being quiet just because somebody else thinks it would be 'rude'. In normal circumstances, a delicate approach can be great, but when doing so is no longer beneficial to you or anyone else, I don't think anyone should bother. Wording helps, but in the end a lot of etiquette just wastes everyone's time. Meh. Maybe I'm just bitter.
