i usually back down, give them a funny look, and laugh. most of the time it's not worth getting bent outta shape over. there are few things that can get a real rise outta me.

the only time i take it seriously, and it's because i have to, is at work. i have to stand my ground there even if i would rather blow them off and walk away. i have to show my "alpha" prowess or they'll try to walk all over me. outside of work i don't usually feel the need if it's a stranger cuz i have nothing to prove to them. i'm weird like that. i'm very chill and laid back but the earth doth move if i have to bare my claws!

I work at a bank so I run into this on a daily basis. Happened just yesterday. It was hilarious.. this lady walked up to me all loud and obnoxious, appalled at how long she had to wait to be helped. Entitlement complex. Apparently it was the first time in 5 yrs she had ever had to wait at our bank. I told her she's been very lucky. Then she launched off into a statistics lesson about the impossible chances of her being that lucky. Blah blah blah... I should take statistics. Mind you I'm math gifted, I four pointed all of my math including statistics despite rarely showing up or paying attention in class. The underlying message she wasnt getting is that I didnt believe her. But I still helped her as she bitched and whined out loud about how poorly our bank was managed. I told her I hoped the rest of her day got better lol. Smiled. She says, 'It will when I start going to another bank' to which I said 'Good!' She got in her last word as she walked out 'And I dont expect bank employees to talk back!' LOL My manager is supposed to call her today with a 30 day warning that her account will be closed. Ha ... Ha. 🙂 Bankers are the wrong people to mess with by the way.

People like that feel wronged and need to inflict the feeling to the first susceptible person, so they look to get you bent out of shape and start something. I dont like to give them the satisfaction, so I try to end it... common sense, nonchalant tone, and a smile. pretty simple. if that doesnt work, my stance is ... 'dont stand in the way of a fool making a fool of him/herself' like the above situation.

nice when it works and they shut up. but chances are they are idiots so this doesnt always work and they keep talking, saying things to get you to take it personally... the prick demeanor turns into asshat desperately trying to dig themselves out of their mistake, being loud, slingin' names and such. I see it happen too often. Maybe i'm twisted, but I think it's all pretty entertaining.
