Why Do People Make Fun Openly About Strangers

Question

I was on a track field all by myself running. And then these 2 guys come to play ball and started cracking jokes about my shirt because it had a logo on it. They kept giving me rude stares as I was running. And another said it was odd that I was running on the track.

When I encounter rude or ignorant people like this who I said nothing to what should I say????? I'm a girl.

Answer 1

I think many have encountered that. It's just rude and pretty much since your a stranger and they don't know you with that 'disconnect' they feel that they can say awful things. Ignore it and take pity for people who get their laughs by picking on others.

Answer 2

They're just immature losers who make themselves feel better by putting down others.  Don't let them get to you, you're obviously a better person than they are.

Usually in a situation like this I would say something back to them to humiliate them.  Like in this situation I probably would have said something like "Aww, thats cute playing ball with your boyfriend"

Answer 3

No teaching.  I usually end up cursing their parents for being fools raising children.  I'm a believer in karma, let them make fun...down the road, they'll get theirs.

Answer 4

1. they are not worth you even thinking what they say is even remotely "cool" proper or worth listing to!

2. check your source they say it was odd to run on a track! sounds to me theses boys are clueless about sports!  

the best response to this is to not listen to it if you don't hear it then you can't respond!

Answer 5

There are as many reasons as there are the people who do that.  

When you give attention to people like that, you give them the power to continue.  Clowns must have an audience, remember that.

Answer 6

Tell them to take a picture, it'll last longer.

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

Keep running and wear whatever the h**l you want when you do it!

Answer 7

ignore is wat i can say as y 2 get urself down by talking to such people
