I've written on this subject before. It is one that crosses boundaries and age groups. The people who tend to make their underwear very obvious to all often like to spice their language with words likely to sting, antagonize and offend! It doesn't matter, they say, what we say as long as you " get" what we are saying and what we mean.. We don't care, is the sentiment what we say. We come on strong bold and direct and that is what we want. We don't have any time and it isn't important to us whether you like or do not like what we say.What matters to us is that you hear us, that you fear us, that you cannot ignore us and that you know if you challenge us and get in our way, You will lose and lose painfully and badly.
Some older people, one who wear ball cap with the brims facing front, also are blunt and totally uncaring and often brutal speakers . They will tell you that their age, all they have seen and experienced and all they have accomplished allow them to say what ever they wish to say however they wish to say it.They will tell you off in just a few harsh words. If you object or challenge what they say, It is absolutely proof positive that they are right, you are proving by your reaction that their unsparing assessment of you is 100% correct.
One group tends to be very young hip and urban. The other tends to be very white, rather advanced in years and often suburban or even rural. Yet, Other than that they could be place in one group, The Cruel Folks!
The best way to deal with them is to say nothing, spend as little time in their presence as possible and think, " Consider The Source " once you are no longer around them. Unpleasant and unsavory, Yes, but people who feel very righteous and smug that they know all, are all of that and have it TOTALLY goin' on!
The rest of us can find some comfort that we KNOW better!
