Rude or polite

You were rude to him.
You're being rude to people on here.
You seem to delight in being rude... so what is the point of your post?

Your mistake was saying anything at all to him. In situations like this - and yes, we know when we're being hit on - it's best to blank him, to act like he's not even there. He'll keep talking and then talk a bit louder and maybe try a different language or two but he'll give up soon enough without being offensive. Don't forget those headphones, Op.

If you can manage to stand quietly and wait for your bus without the need to bother women, I'm fairly sure no woman would bother you.

IMO you framed the question wrongly, OP.

Ask MN 'was I rude?' and you're guaranteed to get a tsunami of complaints from pearl-clutching etiquette specialists wanting to teach you your manners.

Had you said: 'I was rude. I own it and DGAF, because I'm sick of being approached by random male strangers', you'd likely have met with a more favourable response.

How dare you not humour Random Men and join in with some elaborate Pick Me dance?

You are a VERY rude person, not just to this man, but to everyone on this thread. Your manner is rude and confrontational. Perhaps this is what your friends think, too.

You were rude and for the love of God it is could HAVE. Please can you not dumb down so that our children and grandchildren don't sound thick after they have copied someone who is wrong.

Whereas you, on the other hand, are the epitome of charm and politeness?

😂

OP knew straight away he wanted “HER”
She was horrible then went on to tell her colleagues all about how horrible she was
.
Then came on here to tell everyone here .
Gave loads of attitude then left as she had much better things to do with her time .

Rude and her attitude stinks .
Guy got a lucky escape

I don’t think the definition of being unfailingly polite is to stop and talk to strangers for 30 mins if they approach you. A polite no thanks suffices

Bizarre post.
If the bloke looked like a beggar then the “ Excuse me” is usually a request for change.

It’s very unlikely a random bloke would be hitting on a woman at a 🚏 bus stop early in the morning.

Oh heck, I wouldn't like to be a boy. They seem to get unamused, rude, serious people shouting 'NO' at them for unknown reasons.

I am sure that all those saying the OP was rude are themselves unfailingly polite, to all people at all times.

Just like I was when a chugger approached me when I was going to the station to get home at the end of a working day; I was happy to spend half an hour chatting about his work & about the charity (I didn't have anywhere particular to go) and was happily talked into signing up to support it on top of the ones I already support.

Or when another chugger appeared on my doorstep. Or the man selling fish. Or the Tory campaigner. Happy to chat to them for ages rather than be rude, that was much more important than looking after my DS at home.

Or the time when a tourist approached me in a busy street to ask the way somewhere, when I was out running. I was happy to stop (it was evidently not an emergency but I didn't mind) and explain how to get to the park, and chat about him & all the places in our touristy city he wanted to visit. After all, why should he waste time and money on a map and doing his research?

Or the time that a man got chatting to me and told me the religious sect he belonged to (within the first 2 minutes); 'my faith is precious and vital in my life, I wish everyone could have the same'. I happily chatted with him for ages about his religion and yes of course I was really open to being converted.

Or the time when a woman stopped me and exclaimed 'Look! I found this precious jewel in the street. It must be worth a lot of money but I think you should have it. You have such a kind face. Here you are, yes you have it. But if you keep it, do you think you could give me £XXX? That's only fair, after all I found it'.

The reason I asked of the op is ok, is as generally people who behave like this in real,life and then on line like the op is, are often deeply unhappy. It’s seldom they are ill mannered oafs who don’t know better.

the op wanted to habe a go at people, she wanted to be rude, and that’s seldom the sign of someone who is happy in themselves.

You are being rude but why bother asking and then getting annoyed when people point it out

See, I knew you could be a sensible boy if you tried.

You were rude, and as your subsequent posts demonstrate, you continue to be rude.

You came here to ask others opinions and can't even be bothered to explain yourself properly, or have a stab at using grammar/punctuation that would help communicate effectively.

Why should people have to read your posts six times to try to work out what the fuck you're on about? Particularly if, when they have a stab at it, you're obnoxious in your response.

So yes, you're rude. And that might be fine, it might even be appropriate sometimes, none of us have any idea in this situation if it was warranted or not, because you were so rude you have no idea what the other person was trying to ask or tell you.

You were rude, and your subsequent posts are rude.

Oh, apologies. I certainty will try and keep a lid on my over excitement. I have a sense of humour you see, and that means that things do amuse me. But I will try harder to be more serious in future. I will aim to be like you and op🙂

There's not much difference between no and not interested, he was just pissed off you didn't comply and looking for excuses to be stroppy about it.

Very rude

Tbf it doesn’t really matter if he wanted the time or to know if the bus had already left or to chat you up, if you didn’t want to speak to him that’s your prerogative. If he finds that rude then maybe he’s not wrong, but you don’t owe anyone politeness and he’s not entitled to your time or attention.

You sound like a total knob tbh.

You get cues before they open their mouth so it’s not like you have to shut down every single approach. And OP got this one right, as shown by the man’s entitled come back to her.

Men could clean up their act and then it wouldn’t be an issue at all. There is no reason a woman needs to open herself up to harassment at the bus stop to ensure the few men she misjudges aren’t traumatized.

You didn’t even know what he wanted!!
