How Rude Are You In Real Life?

1

Lucky you! On your way to work, you got a comfy seat on the train before it became crowded. But a woman with a cane boards and has nowhere to sit. What do you do?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Nothing — there are lots of people standing. She should have boarded earlier if she wanted a seat.
Kindly offer her my seat. She needs it more than I do.
Hope that a seat frees up at the next stop. If not, then offer her mine.

To keep the ride interesting, you listen to your favorite music. As you’re flipping through tracks, your favorite song comes on! How do you celebrate?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Turn the volume up on my headphones, but keep it quiet enough so only I’ll hear it.
Blast it as loud as possible. Even if others can hear, they’ll enjoy it!
Take my headphones out and listen on speaker. This song is great!

It’s springtime! But nice weather means bad allergies and there’s tickle in your nose. Where do you sneeze?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

In my sleeve. It’s best not to spread germs!
Downward
Wherever I want!
On the person next to me. Joke’s on them!

You have coffee plans with a friend. Despite planning ahead, you’re fifteen minutes late and can’t get there sooner. What do you do?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Send my friend a text to let them know I’m on my way.
Do my best to get there as soon as I can. Maybe they won’t notice the time.
Bail and apologize the next time I see them.

To save some money, you bring your lunch to work. Your office is tight, and your coworkers’ desks are within 10 feet. What do you like to bring for a healthy, portable meal?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Tuna salad sandwich
Tempeh bowl
Seafood leftovers
Cold cut sandwich

You’re out on the town with your pals! There are a few people in the group you don’t recognize, but you might have met before. How do you interact with them?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Introduce myself. They’ll understand if I forgot their name.
Ignore them until they talk to me.
Immediately explain that I’m not sure if we’ve met. It’s best to avoid future awkward situations.
Confidently talk as if we’re great friends. We’ll catch names later.

You’re at a restaurant with five people and dinner is served. You are one of the first three to be served your meal, but two are waiting. Do you start eating?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Yes, I’m starving!
I wait until everyone is served, or until I’m given permission to start.
Only if someone else does.

Browsing through Facebook, you see an acquaintance posted a political meme you don’t like. There’s no wrong information — just what you consider a stupid opinion. What do you do?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Write a comment saying how wrong they are.
Hit the “unfriend” button. I don’t need people like that.
Unfollow. It’s rude to unfriend, but I’d rather not see these posts.
Send a private message to discuss.

It’s a beautiful spring day and you’re jogging down the street. This woman approaches and asks if you could point her toward the nearest grocery store, but you don’t know where it is. Do you help her out?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

No — she can figure it out herself.
I ignore her. How dare she interrupt my workout!
Of course! It should be easy to find on Google Maps.
I tell her I don’t know and carry on.

You’re opening the door into an ice cream store and see someone trying to exit, holding a cone in each hand. What do you do?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Hold the door open, obviously.
Carry on as normal. They can still open the door by themselves.
Ask if they need help with the door.

11

You’re having a conversation with two people. Who do you make eye contact with?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Whoever asked me a question or is talking.
I try to connect with both people equally.
Neither — I’ll gaze off so neither feel excluded.

12

You’re at a beautiful wedding! The ceremony has already commenced when your phone rings! What do you do?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Answer it, duh.
Put it on silent. I can call them back.
See who’s calling and quietly leave the room to answer if it’s important.

I loved it!
It was pretty okay.
Not great…
