Do I Have the Ultimate Right to Be Rude? Rudeness constitutes a state of mind rather than a behavioral trait. Certainly‚ I do not simply wake and decide that I will be rude to the barista making my coffee‚ or the driver the cut me off and I later encountered at the gas station. Different examples and scenarios can be used to discuss the issue; however‚ it goes beyond a person’s willingness to behave in a cordial manner.

I didn’t ever grow up in the richest of neighborhoods‚ but that didn’t matter‚ because I was happy. I was happy because my personality‚ my interests and my character all formed from the areas and places I have lived in and around.
