I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.

As a person, I have never been discourteous or nasty to anybody. I may have stood my ground a bit too directly, a bit too firmly, and I believe I have, over a number of years, learned to be a little less direct.

Kids nowadays, I remember when I was in school, they were just rude, even to the teachers and stuff.

I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.

I've walked away in the middle of a conversation and had no idea that was wrong until someone told me I was being rude.

People are rude in general.

I moved to a city and joined a sort of fast crowd. A lot of people who grew up in the city sort of aren't aware of manners and other ways of life and 'common decency.'

When I was a teenager, I met a comedian who I admired, and he was very rude to me. That's why when people come up to me I try not to be rude. I don't want to name who he is, but it really put me off watching his stuff since.

There is a guilty pleasure in being rude and knowing that it's acting rather than you. But you get the same release as if you were being rude in life.
