  How do you handle extremely rude people in public?

  i'm so upset by two vicious women who came to my work today.

  i was helping a man in my line and they tried to cut in front.

  i politely explained that as soon as i finished with my customer, i would help them.

  I don't think you were wrong in any way. Sure you gave them information they didn't need or deserve to know, but they were incredibly rude to feel that they were more important than even the customer you were helping first. THEY are the ones with the problem, not you.

  It's hard to deal with people like that, you did better than I would have, which is probably why I don't work directly with the public

  All you can do is smile and nod your head. If they go to your boss, so be it, they'll probably be just as rude to him/her as they were to you. While the "customer is always right", that doesn't mean they should bully their way into being helped. Miserable bitter people do try to make everyone around them the same way.

  Sorry you had to deal with that Virgochik, I hope you feel better!

  UPDATE: Semi-Back-in-Business

  over the past couple of weeks, i've learned a lot about myself and those around me.

  life might suck, but life moves on.. mom's grip is weakening, prob.

  because she's getting tired, or because she's beginning to realize how things are.. not everything i have done is admirable, but its done.

  Ok I lied....2 questions

  When they do this "circuit assembly" do ALL the KH's (in the same city) do it on the same date?? I can't get ahold of my "in" to ask them this question...it's just odd to me he wants to switch weekends and he specifically said "it's not mother's day" which is the weekend of the 13/14 and the circuit assembly listed on the above myspace. All I want to do is make sure he's not wanting to switch to take my kid to it.

  I'm so confused!

  Thanks!

  what kind of a forum member do you consider yourself to be?

  are you trying to be dedicated, helpful to others, humourous, expressive, intellectual, or something else?

  Mostly a watcher...I post when it applies to something I know something about

  Other than that I seem to be a thread killer!

  sorry!

  Anyone??

  Thanks!

  yesterday after school i had to go work on a project with friends.

  mom said be home by 5, but there was a huge accident a mile from where i live, and i sat on the road for like 10 - 12 minutes, and was 5 minutes late getting home.

  mom was there (didn't go to work- guess why) and she was pissed.

  Holy Crap RR!

  Been away, and here I am and there you are. I agree with most everyone here, you need to get your stuff together as "under the radar" as possible until this blows over. Your mother will calm down eventually, especially when she sees that her antics are really not causing you any problems on the surface. She may not change her mind about things, but she will calm down. Maybe when that happens she'll remember how much she loves you and may begrudgingly accept your decisions in life. On the other hand, she really doesn't have any right to tell you how you will spend your paycheck and put you on an allowance, but if you must indulge her until her face goes back to a normal color, so be it. Just have your ducks in a row!

  My thoughts are with you Richie, I've followed all your posts and you're fantastic. Most teenagers don't know who they are at your age, but you've not only got that under control, you've gone out & taken action to make sure your life will be lead the way you want to live it! I'm way to far away from you to help directly, but anything I can do let me know! I know you're going to be a great inspiration to my son when the time comes!
