What to Say to A Rude Person
Recently,as the British doctor Lord Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester,
he found himself
(become)steadily enraged.A woman had picked up her phone and
begun a loud conversation,would last an unbelievable hour.Furious,Winston began to
tweet about the woman.He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.
When the train arrived at its destination,Winston quickly got off for he
(have)
enough of the woman's rudeness.But the press was now waiting for her on the platform.And when
they gleefully showed her the lord's messages,she used just one word to describe Winston's actions:
rude.
Winston's tale is something of a microcosm of our age of increasing rudeness,(fuel)
by social media(and,often,politics).What can we do to fix this
Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly and virally,almost like the common cold.
Just witnessing makes it far more likely 5.we in tum,will be rude later on.Once infected,
we are more aggressive,(crcative)and worse at our jobs.The only way(end)
a strain is to make a conscious decision to do so.We must have the guts to call it out,fitce to face.
We must say,"Just stop."For Winston,that would have meant approaching the woman,telling her
that her conversation was frustrating other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly
or make the call at another time.
The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger drive us to do odd
things.In my own research,surveying 2,000 adults,I discovered that the acts of revenge people had
taken ranged from the ridiculous ("I rubbed fries on their wind-shield")to the disturbing ("I
sabotaged them at work").Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman's behavior-but from afar,
in a way that shamed her.
We must instead combat rudeness head on.we sce it occur in a store,we must step
up and say something.If it happens to a colleague,we must point it out.We must defend strangers in
the same way we'd defend our best friends.But we can do it with grace,and handle it
trace of aggression and rudeness.Once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others,
they are far more likely to end that strain themselves.As this ride of rudeness rises,civilization
needs civility.
