Forums - General - People that you think are below you- Are you rude to them?

common human behaviour
because you don't have to fear retaliation from them (doing so could very easily cost them their job/their livelihoods, so they are defenseless) you have the urge to vent your piled up frustration on them, although they aren't the cause for this frustration

I personally don't do that at all.

I was in the movie theater today. Already had the bald, 40 year old, take my tickets. Went out to get more butter on my popcorn, along with some cheese because you know how much I like junk food. On my way in both times, this guy asked for my tickets. I wanted to just throw them on the ground and tell him to check for himself.

But I did not. Why is it, that somwhere inside me, I wanted to be rude to this person like he was not my equal? Did I not get taught better in Sunday school as a small child in the cult run town of Yelm? I am sure my Parent taught me to be a good person. Yet, I still have this urge to do this. When I am at a drive thru ( despite warning from my partner that I will get spit in my food) I am constantly rude and impatient with these people. Funny thing is, I make minimum wage as well! I am no better, yet I see a fast food worker and lame movie theater worker as being below me. I can only imagine what others think of me or how they treat me behind my back.

 

Anyone else do this? Or are you perfect in this aspect of your life? Learn from my inner turmoil people! Do not do what my instinct tells me to do, or Satan if you believe in that sort of thing.

Why is this man below you? I am more successful than you will ever be but I will NEVER look down on you and think you are below me. This is such an odd way of thinking, you most likely earn the same as him but you label him as "the bald, 40 year old". 



I tread everybody equal.
However, I tend to get annoyed when people ask me stupid questions or are obtrusive.
Despite I try to be friendly, my friends warn me that i'm getting rude.But i guess that's whom I am.



Not really, just because there are a lot of measures of a person and just because I may be ahead of some people in some areas (book-smarts, education level, and, despite the average amount of exercise i do, physical fitness for a shocking amount of people), I try to respect what that person has to bring to the table (life experience/street smarts, career/financial success, etc).

I can come off as condescending sometimes, but that's more a factor of my tendency to say what i'm thinking accidentally than any attempt to belittle anyone.

I'm only rude to those who are rude to me first, and even then only if it's in a capacity where that behavior is acceptable (e.g., don't be rude to rude customers while on the job)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

The only people i believe I am better than are the members of the Westboro Baptist Church. And I would treat them rudely if I ever met them

Treat everyone equal:
1. Everyone is an idiot until proven otherwise.
2. Don't be rude to idiots, they don't know better.
3. Profit

I look down on people who act a certain way rather than their capabilities. I can easily treat someone who I feel is much less "intelligent" than I am with utmost respect as long as they aren't a douche.
I look down on people who have certain characteristics.

I certainly try not to, although I'm sure I fail far more frequently than I'd like.
