How My Boss Reacted When Someone Was Being Rude to Him

I will tell you a real story which recently happened.

I was in the study, and when I looked at the gate, my boss had just arrived. Calumn is a kind, educated, warm, inspiring, and firm person. He is a true leader.

He is tough when he needs to be, and he never backs down from defending his rights or the rights of any of us. He knows well how to deal with the difficult situations that life throws at him:

One day, he arrived with his car and parked in front of the door of the neighboring company. Quickly a guy came out the door and began to scold him telling him that he was sick of everyone parking in his door and to get the car out of there. So Calumn moved his car away from there and got out to talk to the guy who kept complaining excessively.

Calumn approached him:

Hello, I’m Calumn, are you? He said as he extended his hand to him as a sign of friendship.

The guy couldn’t stop screaming nervously without even looking at his hand.

Hello, I’m Calumn, can you give me your hand?” he said in the same calm tone as he looked into his eyes once more.

“I’m not giving it to you because I don’t have hydrogel,” answered the guy, despising his gesture.

“Then we don’t have anything to talk about, good luck man ,” Calumn said, patting him on the shoulder as he walked away, leaving him speechless.

After a while, I ran into Calumn on the stairs and asked him:

What happened to that guy? You had a little problem.

To which Calumn replied:

None of that, that’s not a problem.

While dealing with that guy, he didn’t know that nobody was looking at him, and in fact, he never spoke about it. It was old news.

What I want to illustrate to you with this little anecdote is that the best way to deal with someone rude to us is to do it politely, and if the other person is not capable of coming to his senses, we must get away from them since it will make us lose our minds.

We must not raise our voices and try to find a meeting point. It may sound tempting to put the other person down or be above them, but this is satisfactory in the short term, not in a long time.

Life is a handkerchief; treat others well, and you will be much more respected than those who go straight to the brawl.

I always liked Calumn, but I knew what paste he was made of from that day. So he is an example for me.
