The rudeness you may encounter while traveling on public transport can seriously ruin your mood.
If you often use the bus or the subway, take note of the following effective techniques for sobering up a boor.
Ignore
You can leave the vehicle or at least move to the other end to be as far away as possible from the person who is trying to provoke you into a conflict.
Alternatively, turn away to the window and pretend to be blind and deaf: in this case, it will not be possible to continue the dialogue with the instigator of the scandal.
Speak calmly and confidently
Sometimes you can't ignore a rude person - for example, when a conductor decides to enter into an altercation. In this case, you should respond with dignity, without losing your calm disposition.
Negative emotions are a source of energy for a troublemaker, and vice versa, they are afraid of strong and self-confident people.
Make fun of the offender
Even if nature has not awarded you with a sense of humor, use one clever trick - confirm everything your interlocutor says.
For example, if someone wants to take a free seat but doesn't want to squeeze through to the window, they might accuse you of being "rooted to the seat." Don't deny it - confirm that it really is so: you've been riding the trolleybus for so long that you've put down roots.
