(You would be too if it happened to you)
āļø Enter: Counsel for the Obvious
Every story has a hero, a villainā¦
and then thereās the lawyer who, having misplaced the facts, clutches her pearls and declares:
āYouāre rude.ā
Brilliant. Groundbreaking.
Surely covered extensively in first-year law under Advanced Feelings & Hurt Sensibilities.
šø Meanwhile, Back in Reality
Before we all faint over my shocking lack of etiquette, letās revisit the minor inconveniences I experienced:
- š· Being photographed in my own home
- š Being accused of owning a phantom pack of four dogs
- 𧺠Being accused of installing a washer⦠apparently by magic
- āļø Being dragged through three years of proceedings WHILE BATTLING STAGE 0 CANCER.
But yes – please, letās focus on my tone.
š§ø When Law Meets Kindergarten
Thereās something oddly familiar about this whole exchange.
Because āyouāre rudeā isnāt just a weak legal argumentā
itās a kindergarten argument.
You know the one:
āI donāt like you!ā
āYouāre mean!ā
āYour mom is ……….ā
Right. That one.
The moment when logic runs out, and the only thing left isā¦
a personal jab.
Except here, itās delivered with a straight face, and – somehow – billable.

š A Modest Proposal for Counsel
Perhaps next time, instead of assembling⦠whatever this was, counsel could try:
- Evidence
- Facts
- Something remotely persuasive
Instead of what sounded suspiciously like:
āI donāt like her attitude.ā
Which, last time I checked, is not a recognized cause of action.

Letās decode ārudeā one more time:
āRudeā =
- She didnāt stay quiet
- She pushed back
- She refused to play along
In other words:
She did not cooperate with the narrative.
And that is deeply inconvenient.
š¤ Yes, I Was Sarcastic
Of course I was.
After being:
- misrepresented
- accused without proof
- and dragged through years of nonsense
What exactly was expected?
A thank-you note?
Letās be honestā
you would be too if this happened to you.
š„ The Unintentional Admission
Hereās the best part.
When a lawyerās strongest line is:
āYouāre rudeā
what theyāre really saying is:
āWe donāt have anything better.ā
And thatās not an argument.
Thatās a concession – just delivered with a straight face.
š Final Thought
So yes – itās my party.
And if responding to years of baseless accusations with a little edge makes me ārude,ā then Iāll take ārudeā over silent any day.
Because the only thing more absurd than what happenedā¦
is pretending it deserved politeness.
