The Psychology of Rude Behavior
79%
of Americans have indicated that rude behavior is on the rise in the
United States. This epidemic is spreading across the country as one rude
act inspires another rude act- which creates a cycle of rudeness in
this country. When we drive to work, we are affected by an aggressive
driver.. or a ridiculously slow driver which starts the day on a note of
frustration. We walk into to work where a cheery person wishes us a
good morning and all we can do is grumble. This employee takes this
personally and becomes irritated and takes it out on the new customer
coming in the door. This customer thinks the employee has a bad
attitude. The cycle continues on and on.
There is more to rude behavior than just the frustration people feel day to day. Many factors influence a person's aptitude to be rude including a disposition to be impatient, not feeling as if they are being listened to, or being in a hurry- but the behavior all boils down to one thing:
25. Being noisy: Whether from your car, your home stereo, or in your yard, it is rude to blast loud music. Pulling into a gas station where two or more cars are blasting their bass is very irritating for all.
24. Cutting in Lines: It happens in the grocery store, public events, and amusement parks. No one is amused. Those who skip others in line think they are more important and have a sense of entitlement that makes them think they are below waiting their turn.
23. Interrupting: It is natural for very young children to interrupt adults when they are talking, but adults should know better.
22. ANY Form of Disrespect to the Elderly: It seems these days that new generations are not being raised to respect their elders. All people should respect those older than them (with limitations- I do realize that there are some cantankerous characters out there. We are talking about standard situations). People should show respect to the elderly by holding doors for them and offering them seats if they need one.
21. Not Returning Your Shopping Cart: This should be a simple thing to do but parking lots are full of un-returned shopping carts. When you think about how lazy we have become as a nation, such primitive things explain the obesity rate in the United States.
20. Barking Dogs (and neighbors who let their pets destroy your trash): Anyone who has been kept up all night by a barking dog can understand this entry. Parents with babies particularly find barking dogs to be irritating.
19. Bad Table Manners: Formal dining is no longer standard in the USA, but people should have respectable table manners. Elbows should be kept off tables. No one should reach over the table for food or expose a dinner guest to an armpit. Slurping, smacking, and chewing with one's mouth open is offensive.
18. Cutting Off Others in Traffic: Many people think their needs to get their destinations are more important than the safety of everyone on the road. Others get frustrated with bad drivers and are just trying to get away. Safety on the highways is more than good manners, it keeps everyone safe. Monitor your own driving so frustrated drivers won't have to cut in front of you.
17. Tailgating: Tailgating involves following the driver in front of you too closely by not allowing a "two second" space between yourself and the car in front of you. Some drivers think that if they follow the driver in front of them close enough, they can intimidate the driver to going faster or pulling over. This practice is the number one cause of automobile accidents in the United States. Because cars are so close to another, there is no room to maneuver for either car in the event of breakage. This behavior is not only rude, but it can be deadly- even for the tailgater.
16. Littering- Littering involves not placing garbage in its proper receptacle, throwing cigarette butts out the window of a car, not properly disposing of one's personal household garbage, and dumping trash in non approved areas (or on another's personal property). Litter of any kind is dangerous for the environment in many ways. Disposing trash in improper places hurts the environment, breeds vermin, disease, contaminates drinking water, and takes away from the aesthetic beauty of nature. Burning trash is banned in many neighborhoods in the United States, yet people continue to burn their trash because they do not want to pay for service. Not only does burning trash hurt the environment, it is risky. Burning trash can lead to a blazing, out of control wild fire in just minutes.
15. Not Using a Turn Signal- Refusing to signal a left or right handed turn is not only rude and lazy, it is illegal in most states in the U.S. Using a turn signal only takes a minimal "flick" but yet, more and more drivers are refusing to use this system of communication with other drivers. Sadly, using the turn signal benefits the one who is turning left or right from being rear-ended or side swiped on a busy highway.
14. Using the Last of Anything and Not Replacing It- This includes copy paper in the copier at work, gas in a shared car, and especially, toilet paper!
13. Being Late- Sure, life happens and sometimes we are all late for something. Those who habitually come to work late daily with the same excuse over and over are rude and hurt the morale of the office. Most people are understanding of lateness if they are notified by phone. Not calling to say you will be late is rude behavior. For those who are habitually late for meetings, family gatherings, dates, and work, it is strongly recommended you set all of your clocks at home ahead 15 minutes.
12. Improper Cell Phone Use: Acts reported as "rude" are on the rise since the popularity of the cell phone. It is rude to text someone else while having a conversation with others, talking on your cell phone during meals, DRIVING while texting or calling, browsing the Internet during dates and dinners, and answering a cell phone call while attending to other business.
11. Taking and Misusing Handicapped Parking Spots: Not only is parking in a handicapped spot rude, but it is illegal. These spaces are designated for those who need them- or for regular people shallow enough to obtain a temporary sticker and never parting with it.
There is more to rude behavior than just the frustration people feel day to day. Many factors influence a person's aptitude to be rude including a disposition to be impatient, not feeling as if they are being listened to, or being in a hurry- but the behavior all boils down to one thing:
People who are rude generally don't care about other people!It is a sad but true fact. Our humanity is lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. People are rushed, stressed, tired and taking it out on their fellow man. Here is a list of the 25 Rudest Behaviors:
25. Being noisy: Whether from your car, your home stereo, or in your yard, it is rude to blast loud music. Pulling into a gas station where two or more cars are blasting their bass is very irritating for all.
24. Cutting in Lines: It happens in the grocery store, public events, and amusement parks. No one is amused. Those who skip others in line think they are more important and have a sense of entitlement that makes them think they are below waiting their turn.

10. Not Teaching and Enforcing Manners in Children: Not
all parents are drill sergeants when it comes to child discipline, but
not instilling any manners in your child only hurts his or her future
potential. Allowing children to run wild in public places, letting them
scream and throw tantrums is rude behavior.
9. Taking Credit for the Work of Others: Being a victim of article theft on Hubpages, this item is a personal gripe of mine. Taking credit for the work of others can be plagiarism, cheating, and brown nosing at work. Those who do not have the chops to get ahead in life rarely get very far by taking the credit for other people's work. Yet, this is a social epidemic.
8. Personal Grooming in Public: Grooming in public is insanitary and offensive behavior. A person should not clip or chew their nails in public, clean out their noses, or brush their hair in places other than the bathroom. Many people find it acceptable to brush their hair in public places. Doing so leaves hair and dead skin cells all over the place. Hair in one's food is disgusting. Grooming should be done in the rest room.
7. Treating Store Employees/ Waitstaff Rudely: So many people walk into public establishments and businesses with an outrageous sense of entitlement. Sure, if you are paying for a service and you should expect to receive great customer service, but some people are totally unreasonable and never happy. It seems as if people who are frustrated with their own problems enter establishments and make employees pay for their bad experiences. We have all seen these difficult customers. Anyone who yells at their waitress and sends their food back to the kitchen really need to watch the movie "Waiting" showcasing what the kitchen employees think of your sense of entitlement.
6. Cashiers Who Talk on Their Cellphones and Don't Acknowledge Customers During Checkout: It is increasingly popular to walk into a convenience store to pay for gas and the cashier is deep into heavy gossip on a cell phone. The cashier doesn't acknowledge you whatsoever and just throws change your way. Forget about asking this person for directions. Many people checking out can be found on their cell phones and do not pay attention to the questions or the thanks of the cashier. These same people complain (see item 7) when they don't get exactly what they want.
5. Blocking the Isles in Walmart and Grocery Stores: This item also reflects people in society who have an enlarged sense of entitlement. Everyone must shop for groceries at some point or another. It is increasingly common to disregard fellow shoppers in public. Many people block isles in popular stores and make it difficult to get around. They inquisitively stare at the canned soup on one side of the isle while they park their cart on the other side. These shoppers "block out" (pretend not to see) that five people are waiting to get around them.
4. Leaving Messes in Public Bathrooms and Not Washing Your Hands: It takes a surprisingly small amount of effort to flush a toilet. For those readers who do not know how to do this, it merely involves pulling down the small handle on the back of the toilet. Simple, yet whether for laughs or twisted mind, people get a kick out of leaving public toilets full of waste. Even worse, people increasingly don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. These germs are distributed every where for the rest of us to enjoy. Hand washing is good for everyone and keeps the hand washer germ free with less instances of illness.
3. Driving Slow in the Left / Passing Lane: Why? On any two lane road, the left lane is designed for passing the slower traffic in the right lane. However, slow drivers have no problem driving 10 miles below the speed limit in the passing lane for the duration of their travel. They either do not see the mounting traffic stuck behind them or hear the honking of the horns of those who would like to pass them. Many states are finally cracking down on those who do this. In New Jersey and Maryland, the state has painted into the left lanes FOR PASSING ONLY! Fines are finally being given to those who rudely creep along in the passing lane. It is a fact that people who drive too slowly cause more accidents than those who drive to fast. These new laws are wonderful for those of us who travel regularly.
2. Talking and Using a Cell Phone in Movie Theaters: According to the Huffington Post, patronage at movie theaters is at a 16 year low. Fewer people are paying to see movies in theaters. Americans have started turning their backs on public movie theaters not only because of the outrageous price of tickets and refreshments, but because they can't enjoy the movie they have paid an arm and a leg to see because of other rude customers. People leave their manners at the door of the movie theater because they feel they are anonymous in the dark. Rude movie goers talk on their cell phones, receive calls, talk to each other, make out, and yell at the screen. Like many Americans, I no longer watch movies in theaters but in the peace and comfort of my own home.
1. Not Picking Up After Your Dog and Letting Them Use the Bathroom on Private Property: Few things infuriate people in America worse than irresponsible, rude, lazy pet owners that let their pets run free on other people's property to use the bathroom and worse, walking them on a leash and taking them to the bathroom without picking it up. People who take pride in their yards are subject to rude pet owners who refuse to clean up their pet and it is unsanitary and kills the grass. Not only is this toxic, disgusting, and nasty, it is illegal in most cities who place ordinances on the books to protect people from this sick practice. This is not something people should tolerate. If you have a consistently rude neighbor who lets their pet deficate in your yard, get them on camera and take the evidence to your local city or county administrator. If you live in an apartment or condo where this is an issue and management will not address the issue, tell them that you will take the issue to your county or city who will inspect the property and most likely, give them a big fine.

The number one rudest behavior: Not cleaning up after your dog!
