I Hate Rude People

I once had a job where I sent on my break, and I bought something to eat and a drink and promptly sat down in what I thought to be a vacant seat. It turned out to be the regular seat belonging to one of the women I worked with, who came up behind me and told me to "get my arse out of my seat." Nowhere did I see her name printed on it so I stood my ground and stayed put. Suddenly she was tipping the seat up from behind in a blatant attempt to evict me from it. In the end, I got up and moved somewhere else and left her surprisingly red face but smiling in victory. But it's amazing how rudeness is a contagious behaviour among people. Perhaps we get less tolerant of how others treat us as we get older, I try hard not to be rude to anyone but sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself, no one else will do it for you.
