They say be good to your enemies it's exactly what they hate LOL.

most stuff rolls off my shoulders and others do not affect me for long. I let most stuff go....

Depends on my own mood that day.....if I am chirpy, no amount of rudeness will bug me. But try me when I am in a foul mood....I will just bite their head off!

LOL...that don't sound like me???? Must have got out of the wrong side of bed this morning! Actually, I would probably just smile at a sullen face, say 'have a good day' and move along.

If I'm not the cause of their bad mood , then it's not going to affect me . We all have bad days and life happens . Not that I'm not compassionate , just can't change things that I had nothing to do with . If they wish to be rude , my $$$ spend just as good someplace else and good service is worth a few bucks extra to me .

I think it's a lot easier for a bad mood to spread from person to person (somebody to you, you to somebody) than good moods. "Misery loves company" is a saying for a reason, and it doesn't have to be a conscious effort on the part of the miserable person.
That said, I would like to tell a story where a good mood and happy service changed my night. I was out at one of my favorite restaurants, but my interest in the place was starting to ebb because the food hadn't been that good the last couple time I had been there (maybe a bad mood in the kitchen?). Thankfully, this restaurant had a policy: all members of the staff did a rotation every month - meaning that every waiter/ress got the chance to be the manager maybe every so often.
The night I describe, I had gone in and ordered my usual, and my waiter was extremely polite, helpful, and conscientious. My party noticed this, and we decided to mention it to him, just because it's pretty unusual to find wait staff who were THAT nice. He said this was because he had just been manager the past month, and had gotten complaints about the service, complaints about his co-workers who would be rotating into the manager position sooner or later. He said he had resolved to undo that bad reputation and make sure that the next manager got no complaints about the service - at least not about his service.

Now, this could be kind of a self-serving attitude - he didn't want to look bad in front of his boss or co-workers - but I prefer to read the other half of what he said: his resolution to do better, be happier, and be more helpful to patrons. It is that kind of initiative and positiveness that earned him around a 30% tip. My party believed that good service should be rewarded, so it's worth it to maintain a happy mood.

Hi op... sometimes others effect my mood and can not control what I will say to them ... one of my faults ... I am not going to pretend how I feel unless someone pulls that negative side of me out... most of the time I am and have been friendly ... and the kind to stand in a store line and have another tell me their life story ...

if I get angry then that might come out on someone ... I try not to put my mood on someone else unless its a happy mood... and some u just can not make them crack a smile ... so I leave them to what every is making them unhappy ... let them stew in it... if they can not be polite ... but most people are pretty nice ... can't really complain

I love basha.

I would think its another of those situational things for me.

Love you, beautiful lady...Miss you, too!...

It depends upon the situation. If it is my boss, I will give her space. She gets pretty stressed out at times.

If it is a stranger, I try to be upbeat at all times.

Most people I run into are pretty cool.
