Is anyone else tired of rude people these days? Rudeness is becoming more and more prevalent all the time. Agree?

Do you have a habit blocking them here or just letting them spin in the wind?

Rude potatoes. Make chips out of them.

I’m usually very tolerant but I’ve blocked a few over the past couple of days and have my eye on a few more. I just don’t want to look at the garbage they’re spewing anymore.

@OlderSometimesWiser I feel this way too.
What I am even more tired of is people who are totally unaware of their own bad behavior. When they initiate rudeness and you are rude back, they accuse YOU of being rude while they walk around with a halo. Even if you point their behavior out in black & white, they dig in and accuse you of being even more rude.
But then self unawareness is rampant on social media. It's the nature of the beast. These people are here for a reason.

@SmileOnYourBrother The hypocrisy and self righteousness gets to me a bit.
@Magenta Many of these over sensitive social misfits don't even know what "rude" means. Being correct and backing it up is not being rude. Standing one's ground is not being rude. Being honest is not being rude.

@SmileOnYourBrother Being insulting to another is rude. There's no place for name calling, etc.

I never blocked anyone for being rude online, it's fun to go back and fourth throwing insults. Unless the person is just too stupid or nuts to even argue. Paid shills might hack your computer or mass report your account. They're just pretending to have the beliefs they're arguing with you about anyway. It's a job to them and engaging with them is just playing into their employers hands. So I block them rendering them useless.

@HobNoblin I dont enjoy insults - giving or receiving. 🤷🏼‍♀

Block and then they spew their vile stuff into the ether

@Plasticbag But but but you and I don't really get along but we both know it's fun to gjve them a heads up before flushing the toilet.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
I don't really engage much with people anymore. If someone is rude to me online, I just ignore them because I don't carry through with the interaction. I do find people are a lot more full of angst and rudeness.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@thinkingoutloud I think I've come to the end where blocking here will soon commence. I have no desire to interact with them either.
@LadyBronte Understandable. We need to prioritise our peace of mind.
Lilymoon · F
Yeah they seem to be everywhere now not just online.

And the worst part is they don't even realize how rude they are. Sad really.
@Lilymoon

Exactly, and THEY call everyone else rude.

@Lilymoon So true. People so entitled and bloody rude these days. Our forefathers are turning in their graves.
Not in the area where I live.

I know a couple of people who've always been a bit rude to everyone; a type who just says what they think, whether it's based on fact or not - a kind of uninhibited blurt with no awareness of the effect on others.

I find the easiest way to encourage kindness, politeness and consideration is just to unfailingly behave that way. If one feels irritated or inconvenienced, just gently turn away and let it go. Or if it's something important, gently find out what's going on for the other person, what their need might be.

Kind of depends... if they intrude I usually ignore them, but if they don't let up, then I block them. Otherwise I learn who they are and never look at their posts.
I don’t get tired of them because I stay away from them. Never engage.

@BloviatingBuffoon That works in real life too.

It’s awful, I’m so done with people
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
Sapio · 51-55, M
I will block them if they're too rude.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Sapio I have always tried not to but I will from now on.

Real life situations always get to me because I don't expect people behaving that way.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
I've noticed it also. I mostly ignore it.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@MarbleMarvel Same, but lately, I've just gotten excessivley tired of it.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
Irl pervasive entitlement as if someone is a victim bothers me the most. Particularly when the want you to FEEL their pain.

Sorry, I don’t.

On SW, I’m not really bothered too much. Sometimes some younger adults can be a bit snotty, but they don’t know how intelligent someone really is or how successful someone is. I typically just shrug it off to youthful ignorance.
Hazen · 31-35, F
I haven't blocked anyone yet. But same as offline and on, I just ignore them.
It's not being rude either, some are obnoxious and deliberately trying to rile you. I just don't have any time for it. I look for the good in people but rarely find it online I think.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@HannahSky I will a few of the worst. They get annoying.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
They are being "real" so they tell me.🙄
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@LadyBronte
Me,as well.
You can have mannors and still be real.
pdqsailor1 · 61-69, M

@Zonuss If someone begins to spew nasty, hate-filled, acidic comments, I don't feel like I am a coward to block them. I don't want to put up with seeing that nastiness when I log in here.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@LadyBronte I understand. Of course I would never refer to you personally as that. ☺
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Zonuss Thanks.
