I'm sick of my brother's wife's bossy attitude. i respect her a lot, how can i get her to respect me back?
Talk to her, invite her round for a drink or something. Try to talk and share your thoughts with her. Just say I'd like us to get along. The first time you do it she mightn't be as nice. However, just keep doing things like this, it will build your relationship with her. She will begin to like you for who you are, trust me. ;)
Help! Evil brother-in-law! Rude, annoying, and self centered. What to do?
Wow, talk about family from hell. Since everyone in the family feels the same way, why don't you sit down with them all and discuss this problem, and come up with a solution? One solution is, tell your sister and her husband that the next time they are dropping by, they should check in to a hotel. At this rate, who cares anymore how they feel, right? He has been very rude to you all (even the dog is not spared), and you all have been extremely patient with him. Another plus is, if they stay in a hotel, they won't be staying in town so long cos it gets expensive! I don't think you guys miss your sister that much, since she herself has an attitude :P
Manners and Etiquette: What's the best way to deal with rude people who don't realize they are rude?
The best way to deal with someone who is rude and doesn't realize it is to, in a non-confrontational way, point it out to them. Here are a few ways to do it.When someone makes a shared decision for you:“It sounds like you have made the decision we should go to the Thai restaurant.”“It sounds like you have made the decision we should go the scenic route.”“It sounds like you have made the decision that we should go to your parents' house instead of mine for the holidays.”These responses point their attention to the fact that you were not asked for your input.When someone speaks in a way that is not supportive of something you support:“It sounds like you don't believe that juicing can be beneficial to health.”“It sounds like you think people should always dress up when they go to a friend's house.”“It sounds like you don't believe that theory is valid.”These responses point their attention to the fact that not everyone agrees with their point of view.When someone makes a comment that implies you agree with them when you don't.“It sounds like you think those are my religious views as well.”“It sounds like you think those are my political views as well.”“It sounds like you think those are my philosophical views as well.”These responses gently remind them that it's rude to express your personal views as universal.
I think my brother maybe has feelings for me. Help?
Oh dear...... You should have a siblingy conversation about who you guys both like. Ask him who he likes and if he doesn't tell you say "If you tell me, I'll tell you who I like!" Even if you don't like anyone , make someone up. If he tells you someone, he could be lying Next time he does something more romantic be like "ew what am I your girlfriend?" if you guys joke around a lot. If your more serious people say " *name*, why did you just do that?" If he gets worse, tell him to stop. walk away from him. He is probably doing this things because he is confused. I'm guessing your teenagers. He knows he loves you, but he gets this confused with sexual love a boy would usually want from a girl who is not related to them. This is a very delicate situation and you should not just go straight up to him and be like "holy s*** do you like me?!?!" That's something you shouldn't do. Good Luck :D
My brother-in-law flirts with me. I avoid him as more as I can while feeling very unpleasant, he doesn't want to stop. What should I do?
I suppose we should NOT automatically assume that you are a woman; there certainly are instances of married guys hitting on MALE in-laws.But assuming that you ARE a woman - the situation is particularly delicate.One would think it's pretty straight-forward - telling him to just go take a walk, particularly as Gaurav Nartam has just suggested.The only problem is that a lot of guys don't react well (to understate the matter) to a WOMAN standing up to them. IF you KNOW he's not of that type (and you may think you know and it might turn out that you were brutally wrong) ... but if you really KNOW that he's not that type ... I'd try to carefully make your position 100% clear to him (that you're just not available). You might even say it like this (even if it is NOT true), "I really do find you attractive; but I'm just not available now." The advantage of this is that there is no offense he can PRETEND to take - and having a guy go off on you is not worth being more straight-forward.If that doesn't work; you're faced with an escalating scale of more risky responses; but you are also forced to choose ONE of them. I'd start with doing what you just did in private ... doing it in public (but with the same "apologetic" style). If that doesn't work, they you have to be less sweet about it. If that doesn't work, try to set things up so that the audience is very sympathetic to you - so they have your back 100% if this fool just refuses to take what has now become far more than a hint.If even that doesn't work (or isn't available to you, perhaps because you currently don't have the right friends to set this up with) ... then your looking at either "running" (which probably would work, if you are willing and able to do so; but which leads some psychos to track the woman down). Otherwise, we're talking about strictly LEGAL methods. If they don't work, they you have no option other than to treat him with the "full respect" he truly deserves, "Get somebody or somebodies to beat the living crap out of him." Hopefully he'll either get the message; or he'll be so incapacitated that he can't do anything to you.Good luck.
Is this rude - I have a colleague who has sneeze fits every time she sneezes, it's disgusting and she sits beh?
Is this rude - I have a colleague who has sneeze fits every time she sneezes, it's disgusting and she sits behind me. I mean if she sneezes, she's going to sneeze like 5-10 times in a row, it's never just a single sneeze. This happens like once a day and really bothers me sitting in front of her, that is 10 sneeze germs just flying in the air, it just weirds me out. Anyway I want to bring in a can of lysol and every time this happens spray it to kill the germs, as I understand the reason we sneeze is because we have bad stuff that needs to be released, luckily for me it's all being released in my general vicinity. I know she doesn't like the smell of lysol I've heard her say but I dont't really care, it bothers me so much just sitting like a victim after germs are being spread everywhere! What should I do?
How do I deal with an arrogant and egoistic indian father who makes fun of me?
Wow. Im in a precisely same situation . Only difference being im a guy. But well guys are girls are not different at all.As for the dealing part, the only thing you can do is ignore him and not speak to him other than when necessary.i dont love or like my father ( you cant love a person you dont like and you cant like aperson you dont love). So no big deal. Just keep your head out . No use of arguing with him cuz he wont ever accept things as they are because they aint according to him. Dont be rude. Its his fuel and your burning. I knowits hard af to ignore such a person as your father but ignoring is theonly way to go.
