    Calling out rude people needs to be normalized. Stop being polite to those who aren’t.

      Have fun with that…

      I have called out rude people both politely and bluntly. Always is a conflict. So, just prepared to get into it.

        I do by joining into the conversation. People get offended but shut up, walk away, or call the person back later. In an airport or worse yet, an airplane I don’t worry about the conflict. On a subway, different story.

        I have, too, depending on the size of the person rude.

        It’s weird… almost like rude people don’t like to be called rude and are happy to be rude in response to being called rude.

      In theory a great idea. But more and more people are walking around with guns and more and more people believe violence is the answer to everything and more and more people are just completely unhinged because they have main character syndrome. I’m not risking getting shot.
