"Oh Mz. Maizun looks like shit today. I'll tell her that she looks tired and then she'll know that I understand what a long and hard day she's had. That'll make her feel better."
Are they completely oblivious as to how rude it is to tell someone they look tired!? Even if it is true! Utterly unbelievable!
Now I'll admit, it's sometimes hard to find something nice to say, and some people aren't very good at taking compliments (Rabs!!) but is saying something negative a suitable alternative?
Here's where you might think I'm being hypocritical. judgmentala judgemental person. I feel that I have to qualify that statement by saying; it's only my opinion. Good or bad, positive or negative, it's only what I think and who really cares what I think? For the most pjudgmentsp my judgements to myself. The problem is I'm a perfectionist/control freak so I have a very clear idea in my head about how things should be done. When they aren't done that way, then I have an opinion about it; a judgement if you will. Having said that, I feel that I'm a relatively positive person. I like to instil confidence in people and make them feel good about themselves. I don't run around telling them they look tired because that would produce neither of the aforementioned affects!!!
I have no tolerance for rudeness. Even more than that, rude people that disguise their rude comments in snippy little jokes so that they can always back off from the comment and say "Oh I was only teasing you. Geesh, have a sense of humour!" I'm going to make it my mission to call people out on rude behaviour. Is that rude?

You, my darling, NEVER look like shit! Its impossible. As in all things that happen to us that are negative, the most important thing to do is consider the source of the rudeness and then deal with it in the way you think appropriate, either by shrugging it off, or by confronting the rudness as you suggest, which may be the only thing that some understand!
P.S. If I'm EVER rude to you, please point it out to me, because I would never be intentionally, unless I was angry with you! Like THAT would ever happen!
As IF you would ever be rude to me!!
Hope not darlin'

jerk.
No, that was what I imagined was going through her head before she told me I looked "tired".
