Give it back 10-fold

Rude people annoy me. Basically, the people I’m referring to are those that never say hi to you in the hallways or wherever you may be, when you say hi to them first. These are the people who give you this look, like you’re beneath them or something. I never got that. If someone said hi to me, I wouldn’t just look at them. I would at least acknowledge them in some way or another. It could be a hi or a smile or a nod or even a smirk (if someone’s kind of creepy). Haha Just something. I understand that there are bashful people. But I can generally tell those people over the a**holes. And I usually excuse them for that. Nevertheless, I’ve found a way to treat people like this. Maybe it’s called payback or maybe it’s just giving them a taste of their own medicine. For instance, when someone starts giving me attitude, I give it right back and then some. And you know what? When I start treating them like sh*t, I notice they turn around and start treating and speaking to me much nicer. I wonder why? There’s this, hmmm, ok a d*ck at work. He’s this blow hard bible thumper who acts like a jerk whenever you don’t agree with him. He’ll say crap about you behind your back and is one of those people that never say hello. Anyways, every time I happen to pass him in the halls, I usually give him a pissed off look and look away. If he happens to be walking with someone, I usually say hello to that person by name and ignore him. Or I’ll be walking around the office, saying hello or making small talk to everyone, and on purpose, I’ll ignore him and not even make any eye contact (just that look of being pissed off). I passed him in the hall today and I did what I usually do. And guess what? He actually said hello to me and I kind of just muttered a muffled hello under my breath. Haha, it made me happy. My motto is, respect everyone and treat people the way you want to be treated yourself. If someone is disrespectful toward you, do the same thing back to them but 10-fold. I can be a jerk myself, but I know I’m a work in progress. So if I treat you badly, just slap me upside the head (figuratively now), and I’ll try to straighten up. :)
