How do you deal with nasty people?

Answered 3 years ago

I feel as though I am encountering more and more nasty people of late. I recently went to a new hairdresser and she was so rude and nasty. She bombarded me with personal questions interrogation style (how old are you, what do you do, how many children do you have, was your third pregnancy planned etc etc.) And then made snarky comments to all my answers. She literally hit me with one question after another, it was a very unpleasant experience and it felt like she was trying to size me up as opposed to having a nice conversation. I was so shocked that I just answered the questions, but when she keep giving me the snarky responses I felt awful. How else could I have handled it? How would you handle it?

You've painted this hairdresser a rude & nasty person. Is it all possible you were overreacting, being sensitive or reading to much into it?

What kind of professional asks a total stranger if their pregnancy was planned? Plus, making snarky comments when a customer answers questions isn’t exactly appropriate. Seems pretty black and white to me. This hairdresser sounds like awful. No excuses for bad behaviour, especially at work.

Are you going to go to an anonymous website & post about me too?

Start by never going back there. I've dealt with my fair share of toxic people and I've always removed myself from the situation

I suppose you can handle this in two ways: ignore her. Shut her down quick and say you don’t wish to discuss. Or, you can confront her and ask her why she’s being so rude.

Just don’t go back to that hairdresser again. No time or energy for unnecessary rudeness.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yes, I agree, there is no way I will ever return to that hair salon!

I would love to be one of those people confident enough to outright ask, “why are you being so rude?” But, tbh I just don’t think I have it in me.
