I am the type that always and try to give a person the benefit of the doubt before concluding or making judgement on a person about anything. I always feel that before we know what the real issues are, that whoever needs to be given a break.
But for some reason, being rude is out of the list. When a person is rude, I can't think of any reason to give the person that benefit of that doubt. What is it to be doubted about when you are rude to another person? What reasons do you have to be rude? None actually.
I encountered an ugly situation at a fast food restaurant when a considerably young couple shouted and threw foul languages at the poor counter guy. He used words like bodoh, tak tau guna otak, that four letter word and stuff like that. I find that very rude. I find that uncivilised and it achieved nothing but only self-downgrade to your own self. Please tell me, what could be so bad and what could be so wrong that you need to use those words just because that person didn't give the drumsticks that you ordered or gave you one coleslaw instead of two. And did it give you some kind of self satisfaction after you said all those words to the poor guy? I don't think so.
I encountered many hateful postings and nasty personal remarks on facebook which sounded so rude just because they are angry, just because someone pissed them off, just because their favorite football team lost that night, just because the government didn't allow street protest and so on and so forth. The question is, are those rude remarks really necessary? Apart from your friends (that you yourself added) knowing that you are actually a rude person (even if your profile picture doesn't translate that about you), you are just opening the opportunity for people to judge your upbringing.
So please tell me, is it fair for your parents that people (or maybe strangers) are questioning your upbringing just because you decided to be rude.
