Today I am grateful for mean and rude people! via /r/gratitude

Hello wonderful people! Today, I am grateful for mean and rude people. Sounds odd, but hear me out.

Any time I meet a ride or mean person, I am presented 2 choices. Let them ruin my day, or make a positive spin on there time in my life. And I always choose to make a positive spin!

When I interact with a rude person, I am given the opportunity to increase my patience, gain more control over any temper that I have, I learn to say things in a polite way, learn to deescalate the situation, and most importantly, I am shown exactly what I do not want to be in my life.

So, thank you to all of the rude and mean people out there. They always say one of the most powerful things you can do is turn an enemy in to a friend!
