Don't you hate it when you encounter those particularly mean and rude people who only say things because they are EVIL!!! The BASTARDS!!!! They don't have any idea what polite is. They point things out that are completely off topic just to be mean, and they wipe all your faults in your face never even thinking about their own faults and never ever even considering your accomplishments. They live simply to be the thorns in everyone's side.

Why? I ask you, why do people do this?

I never did anything to these people, they have no right in hell to treat me this way... I can only hope that someday a giant anvil falls out of the sky and squishes them... They'll get what they deserve for a life spent on making others suffer... They'll get their just and proper rewards...

Not me, I know a lot of people who are blatantly intentionally rude, it's like they think it makes them look ballsy and cool or something. I have one male friend who once said to me, "I'm proud of being an marker, I do it on purpose". I said, "that's not something to be proud of". I also know girls who say they are "proud to be a cookiemonster". Yes, there are freaks out there who actually derive pleasure from being pricks, my personal theory is that they like the "attention" their bad behavior gets them.

Here's a rememdy I've used on two different intentionally rude (but according to them, "honest") people...what you do, is you turn it around back on them and call attention to how rude they are, and immediately follow that by insulting them in exactly the same way they've just insulted you. Guaranteed to shut them up. Or you can embarrass them in front of everyone and loudly proclaim, "unless you want me to crush you by calling attention to your many faults, I'd stop right there". These methods have worked for me, and despite the temporary uncomfortable climate it may cause, in the end the person is forced to have some respect for you and your personal boundaries.
