Rude NT people in public...

Scoots,

I think his head was hotter than his manifolds

Exactly. I really hate it when people of the autistic spectrum generalise those who are neurologically different based on a few idiots.

What's a NT?

NT is the acronym for Neurotypical. It's a term used by most autistics to describe those who are on the "normal" thinking range. In other words, those who aren't autistic.

I'm glad that someone else on this board feels that way.

I don't really have strangers being rude to me in public a lot. There are some cases where they think I'm being rude, but that is, or course, because I was breaking some social rule.

However, and I don't know if this is straying off the topic a bit, but last night I was walking around wearing a Miami Hurricanes shirt, which prompted about 5 different random people on the street to yell "MIAMI SUCKS" and other things of that nature. I don't know why I let this bug me, but I did. I mean they didn't even know me and probably didn't even mean it as an attack on me as a person, plus I don't even really like the Hurricanes. I guess I just don't like random A-holes drawing negative attention to me.

there are a few of us on here, you know.

i loathe discourtesy. and i'm terribly "british", so i have very high standards of courtesy. someone omitting to say "please" or "thank you" can send my blood pressure through the roof.

The only reason I'm not rude most of the time is to avoid my mom bithching at me....other than that I couldn't care less about offending people

I'm another one here who thinks this way! NT bashing drives me insane!

I don't like rude people in general. It's definitely not just NTs. Some of the rudest people I can think of most likely have serious AS, and they never think before they say things that are extremely rude and inappropriate.

I work at a grocery store part time and some people I have met there are very rude too. Once a man tripped over a cart I was pushing because he wasn't looking where he was going and then he swears at me. Why can people not take responsibility for thier own mistakes?

I've had people (and these are people I do NOT know)and they'll rudely question the way I dress.Or they'll just stare at you while they are whispering and giggling.And I AHTE it when some random person will just come up to and say,"Whazzup,chicka?!What's your name?Where you from?Can I have your phone number?"I've even been followed around and some peopletried to pick me up(in a car) one time.

My usual MO is to act like any decent human being and ignore the pigf***ers. If a guy hoots and hollers at me, I tell him, "You're just a blind slave to white, Western patriarchal constructs of conquer and control, aren't you, you little b*tch?" It's a great canned line, and it usually throws them for a bit of a loop, and while they're searching for a line (best they can usually come up with is, "Goddamned feminists...") I can pass by unscathed.

hoots and hollers?

Guys in general are annoying, no matter what they have. They just piss me off.

I was in a small shop this morning with Mum, and there was this girl in there who rang someone on her phone. When the person answered, it sounded loud so everyone in the shop could hear it.
I was so angry that I felt sick to my stomach. I just could not believe how rude she was.

True, true.



Hahaha. I usually do something like this:

excuse me.

Excuse me.

EXCUSE ME!

Which is not all that great to do or be subjected to, but it usually works.



If his car ddin't have a reverse he had bigger problems than just you.



You'd hate me then IRL. It doesn't come naturally to me, and while I don't MIND saying "please" "thank you" and other such pleasantries, sometimes it doesn't occur to me to say it in a timely manner. ((Sometimes I will omit pleasantries if I'm very pissed but that's less often the reason.))

I have a problem with people in general, I dislike most of them.
