When did being polite start meaning you're a pussy? (rant)

Ignorant people are the worst kind, people that dont use there common knowledge, but thats life and you deal....

i had a similar expirence the other day. (Wal-Mart of all places). I reached the self checkout line the same time as this hispanic lady and her teenage son. Being the nice guy i am, i let her go first. After they checked out and it was my turn the screen came up that said english or spanish. Her little bastart son comes back, reaches over and changes it to spanish thinking i couldn't read it. The part that made me the most mad was that the mother saw it, and didn't say shit.

It's because no one respects other people anymore. I beleive it is because there is no consiquences (sp) anymore for being rude. Hence why you get little wiggers walking around rude towards everyone. They know that nothing will be done about it.

Now, if you are nice it seems like you are getting pushed around by words and actions, theres is no way you would act on someone being a dick, or screwing up your order, etc etc

This is why you have to be smart with your words and actions. Don't walk around being a dick, but have respect for yourself through your words and your actions.

I'm always a nice guy, but if you are rude to me or disrespect me I will let you know. Thats not being mean, thats not being a pushover.

Nice does not always equal being a push over.

ok, so i Have GOT to chime in on this subject.

I have been in retail for a while, worked in metal fab shops, worked on the rail, and Bounced/Dj'd/Bartended, and lastly was a loss prevention officer in Alaksa.......which i dont care what you seen, you aint seen a REAL homeless crazy bitch, until you you seen a ALASKA homeless Crazy Bitch.

Anyways. What i have noticed, is that regardless of the people you deal with, and regardless of the setting, i always Assume that they are not Idiots, Assholes, Wannabe Ganstas, Or actual gangstas. Always. And how they treat me decides how i treat them. Even when i arrested peeps in AK, i just didnt assume they were a-holes, i talked to them with respect, and expected the same.

If they didnt, i was the a complete asshole to them. I would completely match their level, hoping that they would understand how stupid it was. Plus its kinda ammusing.

Usually they never got it. But it works, be nice, and if they are a dick, well then it really doesnt matter how you are.

I dunno, just my 2 cents.

I've always been a nice guy, i guess its mostly because I got picked on in Jr. High then continued growing after everyone else stopped. I figure for every 20 people who are complete dicks back, if one person smiles back or even says thank you it's worth it.

Sarcasm is definitely the way to go if they are dicks though. I've made more then a couple people laugh as well as a few get embarrassed or mad. Usually after they turn around and start to say something they realize I'm no slouch and leave. Being a bouncer has its fair share of dickheads too... but I'm getting paid to be nice then.

yeah everytime i've seen ya at the bar, you've always been nice to me and everyone i'm with

[weshole]

You have always been nice to me Colin. Of course it's because you fear me and dont want none of this. Nah j/k.

I try to give everybody ther benefit of the doubt. I'll be nice till they arent nice to me. Then, I give em the onion.

[bubba]

I'm usually nice to people, sometimes if i'm having a bad day i'm crabby, but otherwise I try to help people out and be nice (I guess it's from growing up in a small town). If people act like dicks or are just pissy for no reason, then I usually just treat them the same way or worse...

[capitlj]

That pretty much says it, I'm nice till you do something stupid. My inner asshole Is kinda like the US nuclear deterrent, my finger is never far from the button, but I'll let you go first because well, my button is bigger.

Just flex those 22's at them.

They will understand.
