Red Flags: Recognizing Rude Behavior

I find it hard to like people with aggressive personalities or rude personalities. I have often worked with people like that. I tried to steer clear of them. Some of them would do just about anything for money and position. Some of them intimidate me. The smallest thing can set them off and the next thing they are screaming and attacking you. Then there’s the rude people. They can be really nasty people. Recently, I went on a short trip with a friend who brought another friend. Her name was Karen, if you get my drift. Nothing pleased her about anything. The room wasn’t good enough. She demanded to see the manager. The food didn’t please her. She made the whole trip a bad experience for the other three of us. Everyone was on edge any time she was near. She won’t be going on any more trips with us.

I saw many rude and aggressive people in the years I worked in restaurants. They made the job hard. One instance, was when a woman almost came across the counter at me. Later, I did find out she had a mental condition and was off her medications.

Most people with aggressive personalities are harmless but there are those who have a streak of violence. I view aggressiveness with caution.

Aggressive and rude people raise a big red flag with me.
