Hmm the rudest person I've ever met was a client (I run a web design biz) who was referred to me by a good friend. Over the phone, he requested a free draft, which I never do, but I thought he seems like a great guy, so I spent half a day doing a draft for him, for free.
He never replied to my email, when I sent it to him, so I called him up after a week. He abused the hell out of me - saying it was rubbish, I was wasting his time etc. He spoke like I killed his father or something.
I was stunned and couldn't say much and then he hung up. After a while I composed myself and sent him a polite email, saying I couldn't spend too much time as it was free. And even if he didn't like it, a quick acknowledgement email would be all that I need.
He replied with a "I have got it."
That one bothered me for more then a year - I kept replaying it in my head.
What fixed it? Eckhart Tolle's work, and also some forgiveness work. Forgiveness is too long to type, and I got some on my blog, but I highly recommend ETs work.
