I get upset by rudeness too.

But with how hard I worked just to get my MS, if I had gone on for the PhD I would introduce myself to everyone I met as "doctor".... it is a title one does work very hard for!

I know when I get frustrated snd feel like someone isn't treating me fairly that I can get caught up in it sometimes. But getting so upset never really does much except make me feel worse afterwards.

Take care.
