+1, except that IMHO it really isn't necessary "to try to be tolerant of those who are...rude. Rudeness, to me, isn't either on the same plane as ignorance or frugality, so I can't agree that toleration should be a default for those who choose to be rude or disrespectful in their interactions with others.
