Does anyone feel people are rude to them for no reason?

[informa]

My friend pointed out that for some reason people are ruder to me than they are to others. That is to say, I experience rudeness from members of staff or the public more than the average person.

We spend a lot of time together so she witnesses rude waitresses or arsey people on the train for example. It may be luck or it may be something else that gets their back up.

I’m unfailingly polite and kind. But I still get attitude from people for no reason.

Some people in the past have told me that I’m intimidating. I have no idea why, other than being well spoken.

Don't make eye contact when you are in a rush as the irritation shows in your face . That is probably why they are being mean

In a kind way, do you look different from the norm?

It's no secret that people are far more rude to big people, people with less common skin colours, frizzy hair etc.

Cream I'll try that!

Yes - Me!
I either get an attitude or completely ignored.

Here’s a silly little example I experience most days..
I see people being served in the shop and they will get chit chat and pleasantries. It will be my turn and I’ll be completely ignored and given an attitude when I ask them a basic question like ‘Can I have a bag please?’. There’s never any hello/manners.

Someone mentioned appearance - I’m a 5ft 6 petite blonde so I don’t exactly stand out of it makes any difference. My friend says I have a resting bitch face but I’m always polite to everyone.

I have a resting bitch face and I have had people say that they are surprised at how nice I am once they get to know me . My attitude is if people want to judge me before they get to know me then they are the one with a problem. On the positive side, I was never bothered in pubs and clubs or on the street probably because of my resting bitch face and I never made eye contact .
