Example scenario:
I walk in Best Buy to return a defective computer mouse, & 1 of the employees get rude with me & act very filthy, nasty, abusive, & hateful when you ask for an exchange. & he acts very pushy with an attitude & DEMANDS an answer for why the mouse is defective. You tell him, & he says, "Maybe YOU broke it!" & you try to say, "No, sir. I didn't. As I took it out the box & assembled it, it has never worked. Is there any way you can fix it for me?" & then he says, "LOOK, IT'S NOT MY JOB TO BE FIXING THINGS FOR YOU! OKAY!?"
Later, you talk to another employee about it, since the store manager is not in for that day, & the other managers are nowhere to be found.
So, the employee who you talk to about the rude guy, might say, "Oh, well I'm sure he didn't mean any harm. I know Jason. He's not like that. He might be having a rough day, or you might be perceiving his response incorrectly."
