On Dealing with People Who Suck

Everybody sucks sometimes. Even the nicest people have really bad days and rather than deal with it, they take it out on you. All you can do when people suck, and they will, frequently, is assume that there are ten other things going on in their lives (school, work, rent, family, health, etc.) and hope that if you met them on a different day you'd actually be best of friends, or at least civil to one another. 

And maybe that encounter with you, and seeing what unhappiness unfolded from their immature lashing out at you, will change them. When they get home, cool down, and realize that they acted poorly, hopefully the guilt will stick with them and shape them for the better. Maybe the next innocent bystander to their crappy day will be better off because of you.
