What do you do if you're itching to strike a person because you find him "bastos"?

Question

"Bastos" here means being rude.

Answer 1

i can only control myself one or two or three time the most, after that he/she'll get what he/she's asking for.

Answer 2

if you strike him then that makes u the "bastos" thing your talking about, u can simply ignore him you know? dont even think this is worth asking.  i beleive that lots of filipinos are not very well educated which leads to lack of manners (no offense) of course there are also lots of very well educated filipinos (most of them leaves the country though, think i know y =)). These lack of manners tend to be substituded by being tough or cool or watever they can think of. i got the impression that most of the uneducated ones are like "barbarians" they act before they even think. Very much like cavemans ha? lol just kidding cant blame em though, cuz its about that stupid government of yours.. peace!

Answer 3

Ignore him / her for I find indifference to be a rather effective way of dealing with such people.    

There are instances though when rudeness borders on meanness, maybe even lunacy and indifference or silence is not the best course to take because the person is simply going over the top.  In such instances, I give the person a peace of my mind and some lessons on decency, with this done tactfully and not out of meanness but of a genuine desire to be of help to him / her.

And when all else fails, I offer it to God.  Prayers do work and so I let go and let God.

Answer 4

I will take the question as being literally addressed to me.   And it just bugs me that questions like this, so simple to understand, and so simple to address, gets turned around by others as though the question does not apply to themselves, but to Juan or Pedro, or the general populace, but never themselves.

What I will do depends on whether I am on camera or not.

If I am on camera (supposing I was in Big Brother's House),  I will be very showbiz like and embrace that person and tell him how I really, really like him, especially the form and shape of his tounge and how such rare jewels come out of his mouth.   Then,  I will get a towel, put it on top of the camera to cover it,  and then smack the fellow right in the mouth.

If there's no camera,  why wait?

Answer 5

they find satisfaction in seeing you irritated. that's their goal, so don't allow yourself to be affected by them.

but if its really too much,stand up and say "may pinag-aralan ka ba? sabagay,kaya nga pala ganyan kabastos" don't speak in english, that person would not understand,hehe  

Answer 6

Iisipin ko po muna kung bakit ako "binastos" o "nabastos".  Paumanhin po.

Answer 7

I ignore the person or sometimes I give him/her a bad look...

Answer 8

Ignore him.  Often, people who are "bastos" are trying to draw attention to themselves.  If you react, you're just adding fuel to the fire.

Answer 9

Spank his goddamn punk ***! I don't tolerate rude people... now dont tell me not to go down on his level because i certainly would just to make him feel how rude he could be.

Answer 10

itching to strike a person?

-- nice statement. i like it. ;-)

well.. if i was in that position,

i wouldn't even give a d**n.

why? simply because,

i don't want to waste my breath.

just let him do what he does.

don't let the devil lure you.

it's for your own good.

of course,

there are limitations.

if you really really really think..

that it's already below the belt,

don't hesitate;

strike him with all you got honey!

sometimes,

punks also need to be punched.

Answer 11

All you need is simply control yourself.  Count one to one hundred or sing silently so as to change your mood. There are lots of bastos or arrogant people nowadays.  Due to lack of good manners and right conduct subject in the school nowadays.  Plus, of course,  due to how they're being brought up in the family.  Well, the only consolation that you can think is that it's good you are not one of them.

GOD BLESS THESE RUDE PEOPLE.

Answer 12

"Irapan mo na lang"  Mas cute ka pa.  

Answer 13

the asker is the kindest,most diplomatic person I know here,plz don't let anyone spoil your day,this isn't an answer is it?never the less I admire you,for whatever thats worth !

Answer 14

I'd be also rude towards him.

Answer 15

Walk away, he is obviously trying to provoke you to get you into hot water. Or he finds it just as satisfying to see you annoyed or infuriated. You can get even with meanies in other ways, it doesn't mean you can't get nasty as he does. Putting dulcolax in his morning coffee would be a start =)

Answer 16

When I find a particular person "maraming bastos" I just count to ten or consider the source.

The Bible teaches us that we are not to "suffer fools" and I try to obey the commandments of our Lord God.

Answer 17

If a person is being rude (in your opinion) then you should ignore him/her. If that gives you no satisfaction or the person continues then I suggest you give him/her a good tongue lashing. This often works. To strike a person could get you into more 'hot water' than its worth.

edit

As this was not addressed to anyone in particular how can one presume that it was meant for them. Your description on how you would handle the situation is exactly how your leader and lady in waiting do things around here. You have been a good student.

Answer 18

kick his balls then run and hide!

Answer 19

perfect , just have it recorded or have witnesses, then file a complain at your local police precinct, not the barangay for court hearings. Have the last laugh. If you strike him, you might have to pay for damages.

Answer 20

if I'm with a girl, either friend or family member, I would give a warning and say that what he's doing is "nakaka lalake na"... and if he doesn't stop, I would get near him and "bitaw" some words that are bad, and if he's "nakaksobra na", I would "suntok", "sipa" and "sapak" him in his "thing" or in his face...
