Should I delete a Facebook friend who was very rude to me when we were kids (and ignores me on FB even though SHE sent the friend request)?
Please don’t take this the wrong way, as I am not holding a grudge, and I understand that people grow up. However, her rude dad is proof that maturity’s not a factor. I am referring to an incident that stemmed from when I was selling my bike for about $25. When my FB friend’s brother and I (both about 12 years old) went to their house for permission, their dad explained the condition of my bike and said in front of other neighbors, “Twenty-five dollars for this piece of sh*t?” Therefore, I’m sure his daughter is still just as rude. I accepted her request, but she never replies when I post a “Happy Birthday” or Hello. I know it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but she appears to be on there a lot. So even though ignoring people on social media is not necessarily rude, I’m sure in her case, it’s a factor to how rude she is in person, thus the following incidents from back in the day... 1. She told me in a laughing matter that her father said he thought I was retarded, due to me saying in ear shot of him, “I don’t get it” to something someone said to me. 2. When I was watching TV with hshe and her little brother at their house, I said, “I have to go now. Good night,” but they continued staring at the TV and said nothing. So I repeated myself, but still nothing. So I ended up leaving their house without either of them showing me to the door. 3. When her then-10-year-old baby sister walked past me on her porch, I said hi, but she said nothing and kept walking.
Would it be weird and or rude to show up at a friends house unexpectedly with gifts?
It wouldn't be rude, but they might think it's weird. It depends on what kind of friendship you have as well as other factors. Has it been a long time since you've seen each other, is it their birthday or another occasion when gift giving is acceptable? etc. And another thing, just dropping in on somebody without letting them know you're coming might cause them undue stress or create an awkward moment.
Is it rude to take a friend with me to a party?
I was invited by a friend's mother to his surprise birthday party. I have no idea who else is going, though I'm sure I will know I few people once I get there, I feel very uncomfortable showing up alone. Is it wrong to bring along a friend who is also a friend of the friend whose birthday it is?
Is it rude to RSVP for a party then not show up?
yes definitely! Because you prepared for X amount of people but not all of them showed up. It wasted your money and most importantly, it wasted your time. If they were not going to attend your party, they could have easiy and nicely said, I am sorry, but I cannot make it. It's not that hard.
Is it rude to speak in another language around your friends?
This is so true! I have a lot of friends that speak Spanish, and when I'm around them, they just won't speak in English and it makes me feel ignored, and I want to be with them and join in the conversation, but I can't, since I don't understand it. They're not doing it on purpose, and not because they don't know any English. It's just that they speak Spanish most often. Sometimes I feel like they're paying me no mind and I do feel disrespected, but I learned to deal with it. Hope this helped. Best answer please?
Is it rude for a friend to drop your call to speak to someone else?
Well, it used to be considered rude. These days, people hang out at a meal in a restaurant and everyone is on their phone and not conversing with the people that they are eating with.You need to define what's rude in your life, the boundaries that you are expect, and the type of friends that you want. Personally, I believe that to "drop one person, just to talk to another" is rude. It shows a lack of caring about the individual, the conversation or the friendship. Honestly, there are very, very few other people or situations that can not wait a few minutes until you discretely and politely end a conversation. (I'm capable of ending a conversation with my mom pretty well!) But, I seem to be in the minority from scanning the other answers. A few minutes is not very long, but it seems to be too far away from instant gratification for a lot of people.There is a lot of richness in conversations and friendships that actually demonstrate focus and attention. Your friend showed that she's not "there for you." Is it possible that perhaps you might have wanted to tell her something- meaningful, emotional or important? Cause she just as likely won't be there another time or just as likely to interrupt any conversation. Is this just just about "your need to control the conversation?" No, you might actually know the relationship, and be pretty excited that she's dating him, etc.It's really about the courtesy that both individuals are treated. One individual should never be treated like garbage in order for someone else to feel special. That's what manners are about, and why your friend was rude. (But then, I don't eat with phones at the table. I'm out of touch.)
I get very upset when my friends are late when we go out. But most of my friends are always late. Why and how can I solve this?
I have a habit of being 15 minutes late from time to time. I don't consider myself "flaky;" but I can certainly understand this behavior as rude and disrespectful to the receiver. I am somewhat convinced (though undiagnosed) that I have ADHD, but I do not choose to use this as an excuse. I just know that I have a terrible sense of time management and am an "optimistic" timer of things. For people like me, it's really stressful to be running late, because we do not like the feeling of inconveniencing people we care about, and in fact it causes both panic and pain.That said, making people wait for us is just bottom-line impolite —and I do sympathize. I'd also add that 15 minutes late is extremely different (in my opinion) from 45 minutes late. I can't remember ever having been that late without giving my friends a couple hours' warning because something interfered with my plans.Do your late friends apologize, or does it seem totally reasonable to them that they've made you wait? I think there's tardy, and there's egregiously late. it's worth telling them that it's rude as hell. It is, in fact, that. If they can't be more realistic and considerate with their timing, I'd maybe just assume that when they say 10, they mean 11, and then you plan for that. Either that, or bring a book or other activity to do anticipating, and being at peace with, the fact that they won't be on their way until much later.
Is it rude to show up early to someone's house?
I think there are some people that, out of sheer habit and the desire not to keep people waiting, show up early. These type of people believe it's rude to keep people waiting.I think it might be possible that "10:00" is the time that stuck in their head and that, although you did in fact say "after" 10:00, they might have inadvertently not remembered the "after" part.I don't know where your client was coming from, but it might be possible they anticipated traffic and really did intend to arrive at 10:00, as per your request, but traffic conditions were lighter than expected.Of course, if this happened, they 'could have' driven around the block 25 times to kill the 15 minutes or simply waited on your doorstep until the designated time, but that was not their first inclination and they concluded that being 15 minutes early could not be looked upon as a big deal. You probably didn't explicitly say, "Do not arrive anytime before 10:00," but I'm only guessing on that point.I think there are a number of possibilities as to the reason they came early, but can't imagine they did it to be intentionally rude to you. In light of the fact that they couldn't have possibly known they were cutting into your workout, I think I'd be inclined to cut them a bit of slack and more clearly explain that you'll be occupied until a certain time the next time you meet with them.I think you did the right thing in not telling him, "Come back in 15 minutes. I'm not available at the moment." It was the gracious thing to do, even though you were inconvenienced.
Is it rude to show up at a party uninvited?
Most people would consider it very rude to show up uninvited unless it is clearly a ‘bring a friend’ type of party. If you go, it’s likely that you will feel very embarrassed or uncomfortable, particularly if it turns out that for some reason the host really didn't want you there.It might be best to ask one of your invited friends to speak to the host about it before the party. They could be really honest and ask why you weren't invited, or be a bit more tactful and ask whether you are going, or something like that.It will be very awkward if the host tells your friends that she doesn't want you there—but it will be way less embarrassing than turning up and finding that out!
