I have always wondered the same thing. I thought i was the only one.  I think i usually say "your excused" or "uh-huh." I really donot know what to say without sounding funny.  That is not a silly question at all though.  I think it is a very good question.

It depends on the relationship I have with the person.  If they are family, I just get nasty with them and don't pull any punches.  (and I can strip someone with my tongue very easily)  If they are an acquaintance, I just ignore them.  In my situation, this is the worst possible insult they can receive as most folks around me like being in my company.  I let the person see me looking great, laughing (could be about them or not) and generally having a great time.  I'm like you, I prefer not to swear, as it shows poor manners, so sometimes my revenge is more a mental discipline then a verbal one.

There are a lot of rude people out there.  I don't know if it is just distraction, everyone so busy and rushing and not paying attention.  Or is it just simply lack of being brought up with manners?  I would just ignore it and take the high road by being polite.  If everyone does this, the world will be a better place and maybe it will catch on.  In the end, they are the one that looks bad to anyone observing and you can feel good that you aren't them.

You're welcome (and mean it.)\n\nBe a Good Manner Model\nIf you don't often hear your child use the magic words-Please, Thank You, Excuse Me-notice how often you use them yourself. How often do you say these words to your child? Or to your spouse? Or to the cashier at the supermarket? Ever catch yourself yelling at inconsiderate drivers? (Who's taking notes in the back seat?) How good a sport are you when your favorite team loses a game?\n\nModeling courteous behavior is the best way to teach your children. They're always taking cues from how parents behave, says Dr. Leman. "Parents love to think about discipline as something that's passed down to children. But the fact of the matter is if you have a disciplined child, you have lived a disciplined life."

I wouldn't wait until they commit the "offense". That's kinda rude and bitchy. Say the guy digs in his ear with his little finger. What do you say, "Oh, God, I hate when peole do that! I'm outta here." You have to get to know someone first before critizing them for their small personality quirks.

better than you i see!  just kidding. Just answer politely. If youve been good...say good...or fine. Or if youve been sick, say you had a bug for a few days but feel great now. And about this person who causes you problems...i have 3 people who cause a lot of problems..not just with me..but with the whole family and then some. Only one i see on a regular basis now. And when they start into their stuff...i try to always stay nice, unless they get nasty, rude or mean. Then i am firm. And that makes her quit. I dont stoop to her level, because that would make me look as bad as her, i go above her and just let her know that how she acts is not tolerated by me. And she ends up looking like a fool, and i get satisfaction knowing she made herself look bad in the process and trying to get to me.\n\nYou've probably heard the saying "kill em with kindness"?  It really does work.

You are right.  As a society, we no longer seem to have good manners.  People step in front of you without an "excuse me" and hardly ever say "thank you" anymore.\n\nI hold doors without expectation of a thank you now.  I do it because it pleases me to have good manners and I choose not to let their lack of manners upset me.  I don't say anything, but I mentally stick my tongue out at them.\n\nIf you hold the door for me, I promise to thank you and smile very big!  As a postscript, the other day an elderly lady smiled at me and when I smiled back she stopped me to tell me how nice it was!  I was thrilled.  Keep hoping.  We're out here! :-)

well it is necessary to have proper manners towards everybody, and if you dont then thats just stupid.  you shoudl treat them like you treat everybody else, because they are just like you and me only a little bigger aroung the middle.  if you dont have good manners in the first place, well then thats not my prob

You can be a gentleman at any age.  :)  The most respectful gentleman I have ever met is 16, and I hope he'll keep his respect for women until the day he dies.  First, don't judge people based on the outside alone.  Open doors for people, whether it be an old lady, a mother with kids, the girl you're crushing on.  Always say thank you and please.  Always help when you can, especially if it is something small like helping someone carry their grocery bags to their car, returning a cart for someone in the mall, helping a neighbor shovel their driveway or mow their lawn.  Giving up your seat in a crowded room or on the bus.  Lending someone shivering cold your jacket.  Helping the person in front of you pay for their purchases/orders or whatever if they find they are a couple dollars short.  Help a lady seat first when sitting or eating with her, pass food options to her before yourself.  Offer to run and grab an umbrella for her and walk her to her car when it's raining.  Offering to signal a cab for a lady, and sometimes, maybe even paying! ;) These things seem small, but they go so far to touch the lives of those around you.  :)

My dear there is still such thing as business etiquette and \nbusinesses emphasize it more than ever. It is crucial to the business to provide excellent customer service. If you have ran into an unpleasant situation do report it. Do bring it to your supervisor's attention because there is a high chance that this colleague of yours has been rude to others before as well.

Disrespect and not being a gentleman.  If you can't get out of the car and come to my door then I'm not going anywhere.  It's just the common courtesy and respect.  :D

be open and honest with them, sometimes being polite is not the right thing to do, just tell them that you dont want to talk to them and if its really that bad say you dont want to talk to them now or ever again.

We used to have Etiquette, you learned how to talk to people\n& how to deal with people.  Someone who is rude thinks he is\nin control, better than someone else.  It's a power thing.\nBut in the end, he is no better than anyone else!  You teach\npeople how to treat you, if  you allow yourself to be treated poorly you haven't done your job. It's also a peer\nthing - I remember the kids in school picking on others so that they can look "cool" in the eyes of others.  But as adults, we learn that these ways are not acceptable.  Isn't it better to tell someone to "have a nice day" than to tell\nsomeone to "biteme?" Think about it?  You don't need to be\nrude - no one does.  Ignore them.  They'll wise up & realize\nall eyes are not on them & they will straighten up.  They honestly don't sometimes often realize they are doing it because it becomes a 2nd nature to them.  OK?

Try a good book on etiquette. Most contain a section on business. I recommend "Emily Post." She covers approprite clothing for the office; phone manners; inter-office relationships; relaying confidential personal info to a co-worker that you might get inadvertantly when taking phone messages,; all sorts of stuff about etiquette at the workplace. Good luck!
