More specifically in situations that you just can't walk away from. I'd like to think disarming them with kindness is the best solution but there are people that will just not work on. I believe that being rude in response tends to escalate into drama.
I further believe that rudeness either stems from a root cause; perhaps the offending party is having a terrible day and with them you can likely reason with. Then there's my belief that some people are just inherently rude and for them rudeness is just a power-play to take control of situations by intimidation.
What are some rude situations that you've observed or have been in and what reactions do you think tend to improve the situation? I recommend walking away if you can but again you can't always do that. And what do you think distinguishes rudeness from bullying?

I'm finding it hard to explain but try to listen and understand what they're saying. Say, while maintaining a calm and neutral tone and expression, nodding slowly while speaking (ie positive body language),
>so I'm an asshole? I'm sorry, friend. what is it that has made me an asshole?
Or some other means of turning it around on them while looking like the reasonable one. My therapist recommended this method.
