Don't take their attitude too personally. Remember you are dealing with a stranger who has no knowledge about you to be able to judge you. There is no point to take what they do to you personally. Majority of the time, people are just inconsiderate due to some issue and they try to express their emotions by picking on others. Best thing you can do is to set some boundaries and disengage instantly with someone who disrespects you.

I try and remember that I have no idea what's going on in their day. Just like I have bad days and hope that I can be forgiven for not always being as considerate as I hope to be, I have to extend that to strangers.

This may sound a little simple but, count to ten! Each time as you count to the next number take a deep breath and release all the frustration. Meditation is another very helpful technique to improve patience. You can start worth as little as 5 minutes a day. Guided meditations are on youtube and very helpful. There's even an amazing app called Headspace. It's a guided meditation app and very useful. Hope this helped, peace and love ♥

I have to stop and take a deep breath and tell myself that they probably have no idea that they're being inconsiderate. We all have moments where we're lost in our thoughts and don't notice that someone may need something from us, whether it is to move out of the way, or move more quickly, or even to pay more attention.

You could remind yourself that they may be going through tough times too, and that's why they're irritable and inconsiderate.

By trying to understand that every person is different and unique and we cannot control their thoughts or actions. By understanding this we look at ourselves and learn patience, tolerance and understanding.

Be kind in return, lead by example and know that sometimes people who are rude or inconsiderate are the ones who most need forgiveness. Do not take their behaviour personally, it's not about you, it's about them and where they are at. If the stranger is someone you are doing business with, and their treatment is inappropriate, file a complaint with the manager. Not in front of them, but by phone or email to someone who has authority to see your complaint resolved.
