I would search my backpack for fucks, then advise them that I found none to give. As an aside, I am NEVER rude or offensive in social situations unless someone is rude or offensive to me first...so the fact that they would make that comment to me would mean that they preempted my comment with a rude or offensive comment themselves. In that case, they should examine themselves to figure out why they prompted me to respond in kind.

A left jab to the head followed by a quick right undercut to the chin ought to take care of it. Teach’em some manners.

Depends. Have we been drinking? I usually pop off at the mouth regardless. I have little patience for ignorance. Generally speaking, they are who they are and I am who I am. If we clash than I choose not to be around them.

I was at a dinner in a public restaurant with 8 other people. One person proceeded to tell the most horrendous, atrocious Holocaust "joke". Now I have a warped sense of humor, but a "joke" of this type was so inappropriate in the context of the evening that in order not to make a scene I merely Stopped eating, excused myself, left the table & left the entourage. Perhaps if told in private I would have cringed but endured it & would have denied any humor in it. But with a table of 8 I merely left the table, told my date I was leaving & why. My date remained & I departed. I keep in mind what someone suggested to me. "What would Jackie Kennedy do?" I believe she would have done the same.

Asking for clarification before I decide to be offended always seems a good thing to do. I have an opportunity to discover if they really meant to be offensive. It gives me more options on how I want to react.

Very Thankful that I found out sooner than later or from someone else. Being rude to someone is more offensive to the person delivering the retort and shows a lack of manners.

It's actually a good thing....if we cannot agree to disagree then what would be the point to keep trying to develop this new aqcuintance?. It's not that difficult to come up with any excuse to get off the hook. Why would I want to confront someone I don't know?

Unlike snowflakes...I wouldn't have a meltdown because I know that "words" are unable to harm someone....unless one chooses to be "harmed" by them.

Depending on the remark I would either call it out or laugh derisively. Either way, I would probably then walk away. Life's too damn short to spend time listening to crap that offends you.

Well man I'm so to hear that but if ur on skout people on it are worse on it bad comments and they stole pic

I try to be nice, but let them know I don't agree. Their reaction moving forward will help tell me where to go from there.

I am pretty thick skinned and very, very difficult to insult. If someone says something to me about my looks ( for instance, says I am fat), I agree with them, because it is true. Sometimes they say something about my tattoos, or when I was young, about breast feeding in public. I would advise them not to look. That often takes the wind out of their sails. But....If they are racist, misogynist, or hurt someone's feelings, I have no problem saying that they are being rude, racist, etc. I am extremely open minded and realize that I don't look or act like a normal old woman, but, there is still a line that, if crossed, will get them called out.

My word, what an aggressive, pompous, self-absorbed yet delicate and sensitive lot you all are! Ever heard the Reader's Digest motto: Laughter, the best medicine?!

I have a pretty high threshold for rudeness and I am a pretty good judge of character in order to know where someone is coming from. If they are being a total asshole then I will gently ease them away from that behavior if possible and if not then Katey bar the door because they are getting both barrels. I haven't punched anyone in the face in absolute ages so I must be getting better with experience.

I'm quite outspoken, so I would tell them how I felt about what they said.
