What would you do if someone a little younger than you verbally insulted you in the workplace? ?

Question

How would you handle it? Your opinion.

Answer 1

I would say something like.... Calling you an idiot would be an insult to all the stupid people... then walk off

Answer 2

Laugh it off. They verbally insult you to get you angry, or get attention. I used to try to insult  and offend my cousins and stuff when i was 11 or 12.  I'd get so angry because it seemed they never cared, they just laughed, lmao.  

Answer 3

quietly f**t in the same space as them and trap them in that spot until the stench overwhelms them.

Answer 4

I love the first answer but for me, maybe just smile and say "ouch, that hurt, however will I recover"? Then just carry on your happy way.

Answer 5

Wrong category

Answer 6

I would keep my cool, but say something smart

Answer 7

kick there ***....no dont do that you'll get in trouble...if its bad enough verbal abuse i would tell your boss, most places have policieys about vilionce and harasment in the workplace..if you have an hr rep they can help you out.  I'v fired employees for verbal abuse, so dont take it lightly, it serios when you have workplace harasment.  dont do anything crazy like kicking there *** becuase then it just escaltes.  try to act profetional and dont stoop to their level.  

Answer 8

Even if it was warranted, the work place is not the venue, which I would point out very succinctly, adding that if he/she was mature enough they would already know this without it having to be pointed out.

Good luck.
