00:00:01
Speaker 1: Did you see that post? People are talking.
00:00:04
Speaker 2: Here's what's trending on the Vicky Smiley Morning Show.
00:00:08
Speaker 3: All right, y'all, let's talk about something that I can start an argument real quick. And sometimes what one person calls. Rude, another person calls setting a boundary.
00:00:18
Speaker 1: Right, Ricky.
00:00:19
Speaker 2: Sometimes people confuse being rude with simply not getting what they want. They spoil. So here's some examples of what people confuse with being rude. Not answering your phone. Some people think it's rude when you see they call and you don't pick up. But maybe the person is busy or really just don't feel like talking. Not responding to a text immediately. Some people will text you at 10.03 and by 10.15 they're like, are you mad at me? No, I just haven't responded. Everybody is not sitting around waiting on a text or waiting to answer a text.
00:00:48
Speaker 3: Cause your ass good for texting back two days later. Okay. Anyway, saying no without giving an explanation.
00:00:58
Speaker 2: Some people think you rude if they ask you to do something and you simply say, no, I can't. Sometimes no is a complete sentence.
00:01:06
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: No explanation.
00:01:08
Speaker 2: No explanation.
00:01:09
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:01:10
Speaker 5: Like lending people money.
00:01:11
Speaker 2: This one right here.
00:01:12
Speaker 5: Somebody asks you for, like, say $ 100, and you say no, and suddenly you acting funny.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
00:01:18
Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: They counting your coins. Uh, no, my money is my money.
00:01:23
Speaker 5: Uh, not saying goodbye individually to everybody at a gathering. Like, do you really have to find every single person, shake their hand, give them a hug and be like, okay, I'm really leaving now.
00:01:33
Speaker 3: I got a cable that come down. I'd be like, you know, Chris Brown be going out around the stadium. I get the hell up out of parties.
00:01:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: Leave it before it's over.
00:01:44
Speaker 2: Blend in with the wall, get near the door, and roll on out.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't do that. It takes an hour.
00:01:49
Speaker 2: To say bye.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: To say goodbye to everybody.
00:01:52
Speaker 3: Yes.

Speaker 1: Let me get your number. Let me get a picture. A picture. We said it at the same time.
00:01:57
Speaker 6: No, no, no.
00:01:58
Speaker 1: I'll go out there.
00:01:58
Speaker 3: I'll speak to everybody going in. And boy, when I tell you, I blend in with the wallpaper.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: And slide out. Slide out. I hope I didn't.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: Near the nearest exit.
00:02:08
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:02:09
Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
00:02:10
Speaker 3: So this morning we want to know, when is something that people consider rude that you think, you know, that you don't think is rude at all?

00:02:31
Speaker 6: Ever.
00:02:31
Speaker 1: I'll buy breakfast when I get my check. Once a year, you'll buy somebody an Egg McMuffin or something.
00:02:35
Speaker 3: Oh, please. You're going by and spending all the money buying them drip outfits, then you suck up everybody else's food, and then you don't offer nobody.
00:02:42
Speaker 1: Have anybody been invited to your house for dinner? But where do you go for dinner most of the time, Gary?
00:02:49
Speaker 7: Where do you go for dinner most of the time, Jerry? Well, you have extra food here, so that's why I come to your house to eat. When you have extra food, I'll come there and eat. Nobody else cook around here.
00:02:59
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give a damn if you order Shake Shack. Come over there. Let me sit down and do a hamburger.
00:03:03
Speaker 3: You just don't want to buy the house because we're going to make you get it organized.
00:03:07
Speaker 1: I'm going to make you get your ass organized. One of these days. Get mad at us. And then you can't find stuff. It's just a lot. It's a lot.
00:03:18
Speaker 7: I don't have a spacious house like y'all do. Y'all got a spacious house. You're the one that you're with.
00:03:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, honey.
00:03:22
Speaker 2: I don't have a spacious house.
00:03:24
Speaker 1: You don't have a big house. You stop buying all them clothes and you drive a different car to work every day.
00:03:28
Speaker 2: Give some of them chairs away.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: All them cars belong to us. You sell them drugs.
00:03:31
Speaker 2: All them racks of shoes and clothes.
00:03:33
Speaker 1: Oh, well, Brad, you helped me. You helped me buy the racks. You bought the racks. I tried to help you get organized.
00:03:38
Speaker 2: I did buy the racks.
00:03:39
Speaker 1: You can put that stuff somewhere. You got the bank.
00:03:46
Speaker 5: You know what? I hate when people get mad. I lose my phone all the time. I literally lose it. And I don't care because I don't need it because I know anybody who needs me will call my husband.
00:03:56
Speaker 1: But people get so mad.
00:03:57
Speaker 5: Like, I tried to call you. Why didn't you answer my call? Like, I'm sorry. I don't hold onto my phone all day.
00:04:03
Speaker 1: Some people think it's rude.
00:04:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, your ass don't take it back either until you need a macaroni and cheese recipe.
00:04:08
Speaker 1: You only call me from your kitchen. I already know what you want. FaceTime me, too. FaceTime me. How much time is an oregano cherry pudding?
00:04:16
Speaker 5: It's true.
00:04:17
Speaker 6: It's true.
00:04:18
Speaker 1: What did you mean to say? She said it's true.
00:04:20
Speaker 3: It's true.
00:04:20
Speaker 7: I was going to say that some people think it's rude when you disagree with them out loud.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: You can be in the conversation, and just because you.
00:04:28
Speaker 3: Don't agree with them, they think you're rude or that you ain't got.
00:04:32
Speaker 1: I got my own opinion.
00:04:33
Speaker 3: You have to say, I beg to differ. Or you have to play devil's advocate with black people. Black people are real sinners. Well, let me just give you devil's advocate. Let's just say it's peaches.
00:04:41
Speaker 1: You don't have to do it like that.
00:04:42
Speaker 3: You have to announce it.
00:04:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get it out there. Y'all hit us up. 866-9-RICKY. 866-9-R-I-C-K-E-Y. Let's go to the phones.
00:04:51
Speaker 4: Good morning.
00:04:52
Speaker 6: My name is Katrina Washington calling from Savannah, Georgia. It ain't rude. They call me funny acting at work, but they don't understand.
00:04:58
Speaker 1: I just be minding my own business.
00:05:00
Speaker 6: Good morning, this is Mia from Atlanta, Georgia. People say that I am rude when I completely just exit the conversation. Once it no longer serves any purpose, I stop talking.
00:05:13
Speaker 4: Just saying no.
00:05:14
Speaker 6: I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana. The people don't know how to accept it anymore because they're so sensitive.
00:05:19
Speaker 1: No is a.
00:05:19
Speaker 6: Simple action, and it's easy to receive if you're not full of bullshit. There it is.
00:05:25
Speaker 3: My name is Rob.
00:05:26
Speaker 6: I'm calling from Gary, Indiana, telling people not to concern you and other people's business. I think they may say it's rude, but I think that's normal. Being invited to an event that really isn't a priority to me. I'm Adrienne, and I'm calling from South Carolina by way of Maryland. I think it's crazy that people think it's rude if you hang up while you're having an argument. I think we should hang up, regroup, and then come back to the conversation if need be.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: Let me see.
00:06:03
Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
00:06:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get on that one. I'll hang up if you get disrespectful. You get disrespect when you get loud and I'd be like, hello.
00:06:14
Speaker 1: Hello.
00:06:16
Speaker 3: I just politely hang up and go ahead and scroll down to that block number and block that thing.
00:06:20
Speaker 1: Block that thing. I ain't got to talk to you.
00:06:22
Speaker 4: Right.
00:06:23
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Because you ought to be able to have a conversation. There's a difference between setting a boundary and being disrespectful.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Right. You know what I'm saying? But there's nothing wrong with saying no.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: And I think we live in an area where everybody have a sense of entitlement, you know, and Or you just assume that somebody's going to say yes just because you asked for something or whatever. But, you know, once you tell people no, all you got to do is look at their face. If you really want to know who like you and who don't like you, if I say no to you and you stop liking me after that, that means you didn't like me in the first place.
00:06:56
Speaker 5: Right.
00:06:57
Speaker 1: If one no is all it took for you to dislike me. All it took.
00:07:01
Speaker 3: And once you say no, they do not like you, but no more. You can see it in their face or whatever. All right, y'all, for all the people this morning, we're talking about setting boundaries and things people consider rude that you don't. Some of the examples like, you know, I don't have to attend every event I'm invited to. I don't have to, you know, I don't have to answer personal questions just because you asked. I don't have to tip if the service was terrible. So this morning we want to know what is something people consider rude that you don't think is rude at all. Let's go to the phones.
00:07:33
Speaker 7: Good morning.
00:07:34
Speaker 4: My name is Ken.
00:07:35
Speaker 6: I'm calling from Orlando, Florida.
00:07:36
Speaker 4: And I feel like people think.
00:07:38
Speaker 7: Answering the phone is weird or rude.
00:07:42
Speaker 6: I'm like, if I don't want to talk, I ain't got to answer my phone and talk to you.
00:07:46
Speaker 4: Okay, I think it's normal.
00:07:47
Speaker 2: Like, if somebody texts me, like you said, take my time and text them back.
00:07:52
Speaker 6: And they feel like it's new, I feel like it's just me minding my business.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: I'm just, you know, doing my own thing.
00:07:58
Speaker 1: This is Dre. I'm calling from Phoenix.
00:08:01
Speaker 4: I completely call normal, telling people to shut the f * * * up.
00:08:05
Speaker 7: I do, but I tell a person you can't do something, and then they get mad.
00:08:10
Speaker 6: Because you can't do it. So I hit you with that flick.
00:08:13
Speaker 7: Not now, but hell to the not now.
00:08:15
Speaker 4: My name is Lex, and I'm from Orlando. And I stopped answering my phone because people will call you and tell you all the bad news. Poo-poo, Tiki, Wednesday, but they won't call you and invite you to the barbecue or the lottery winners or whatever they have.
00:08:31
Speaker 6: I'm Kim, and I'm calling from Charlotte, North Carolina. And I think it's completely normal not to open the door when someone shows up at my home unannounced.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: That part. I swear.
00:08:41
Speaker 3: When I tell you I can find me a dark spot inside a house and watch their ass out there on that porch pulling up on you. And let me tell you something that I don't play out, Frieza.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: What?
00:08:51
Speaker 3: Don't come to my door talking on the cell phone. Don't walk up to me talking on a cell phone. If you want to talk to me, talk to me. We need to have a real conversation on phone etiquette.
00:09:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, the person in person is the most important. You can call the person back on the phone.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: I don't talk to you if you're on the phone.
00:09:10
Speaker 3: If you're walking up to see me in the airport, you want to walk up and talk to me and you're already on the phone. Now I got to talk to the person and you're trying to prove that you see Ricky Smiley with the person on the phone.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: Now you want me to get on the phone to prove to Pookie that you're standing. I don't play that. Yeah, and then this do you remember.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: Me stuff irritates me, and I don't play that game, peek-a-boo.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I called a girl. I said, we too old to play peek-a-boo. Tell me who you are. Oh, man, you know what I'm saying?
00:09:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I met you in 92 at the Step Show at Alabama A & M, you know, stuff like that.
00:09:42
Speaker 1: You don't know who I am.
00:09:43
Speaker 3: One lady, she leaned back on her legs. Lean back on one leg, like Funky Deneva be saying. Like, she was finna really drop a bomb. Like, she folded her arms and leaned back on one leg. She said, you don't know who I am. And she was wobbling her neck.
00:09:59
Speaker 1: I said, no, ma'am. She said, I went to school with your mama.
00:10:03
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: Now, Ricky, I have one. Ron, I promise. I'm not lying. You can't make this stuff up. And Dan had an attitude because I didn't know who she was. You weren't even born yet, dog. I said, ma'am, my mama's fallopian tube don't have windows.
00:10:20
Speaker 5: Shut up, Ricky. Shut up, man.
00:10:24
Speaker 1: And then she said, that's how y'all act when y'all make it. That's how y'all act. And she leaned back on one day, she had on a kitty heel.
00:10:33
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: All right.
00:10:36
Speaker 6: Nope.
00:10:40
Speaker 1: You don't know who I am? We in Walmart over there in Centerpoint. You don't know who I am? I said, no, ma'am. You know, I'm always very respectful. She said, I went to school with your mama. She said mama real hard.
00:10:54
Speaker 5: Right.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: She went to Hays. I thought she was going to say she went to school with you, but your mama? No, my mama. And got mad because I didn't know who she was.
00:11:04
Speaker 4: Right.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Oh, man.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah. Yeah, they do it.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: They're grown people playing peek-a-boo. And I said, hey, I don't know. Do you know who you are?
00:11:12
Speaker 4: No.
00:11:12
Speaker 1: I don't remember you. Tell me who you are. Like that, in a real nice way. And they'd be shocked. That's nice. Because I lie.
00:11:20
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, my gosh, I do remember. How have you been? How's your family?
00:11:25
Speaker 1: What's my name? I lie.
00:11:26
Speaker 2: I just lie.
00:11:27
Speaker 3: I'm not going to fake. If I don't know who you are, I'm going to tell you I don't know who you are. And then that's up to you. You can't charge nothing else to nobody's memory. We meet a lot of people from week to week and month to month and year to year.
00:11:38
Speaker 6: You know where, Ricky?
00:11:38
Speaker 1: You meet a lot of people.
00:11:39
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:11:42
Speaker 6: What? Oh.
00:11:44
Speaker 3: So mine is, you know, you talk about going over to people's houses and stuff like that.
00:11:49
Speaker 7: I don't and I don't know how to say this without saying it weird, but I don't like to eat everybody's meat. So like, I don't know.

00:04:08
Speaker 1: You only call me from your kitchen. I already know what you want. FaceTime me, too. FaceTime me. How much time is an oregano cherry pudding?
00:04:16
Speaker 5: It's true.
00:04:17
Speaker 6: It's true.
00:04:18
Speaker 1: What did you mean to say? She said it's true.
00:04:20
Speaker 3: It's true.
00:04:20
Speaker 7: I was going to say that some people think it's rude when you disagree with them out loud.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: You can be in the conversation, and just because you.
00:04:28
Speaker 3: Don't agree with them, they think you're rude or that you ain't got.
00:04:32
Speaker 1: I got my own opinion.
00:04:33
Speaker 3: You have to say, I beg to differ. Or you have to play devil's advocate with black people. Black people are real sinners. Well, let me just give you devil's advocate. Let's just say it's peaches.
00:04:41
Speaker 1: You don't have to do it like that.
00:04:42
Speaker 3: You have to announce it.
00:04:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get it out there. Y'all hit us up. 866-9-RICKY. 866-9-R-I-C-K-E-Y. Let's go to the phones.
00:04:51
Speaker 4: Good morning.
00:04:52
Speaker 6: My name is Katrina Washington calling from Savannah, Georgia. It ain't rude. They call me funny acting at work, but they don't understand.
00:04:58
Speaker 1: I just be minding my own business.
00:05:00
Speaker 6: Good morning, this is Mia from Atlanta, Georgia. People say that I am rude when I completely just exit the conversation. Once it no longer serves any purpose, I stop talking.
00:05:13
Speaker 4: Just saying no.
00:05:14
Speaker 6: I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana. The people don't know how to accept it anymore because they're so sensitive.
00:05:19
Speaker 1: No is a.
00:05:19
Speaker 6: Simple action, and it's easy to receive if you're not full of bullshit. There it is.
00:05:25
Speaker 3: My name is Rob.
00:05:26
Speaker 6: I'm calling from Gary, Indiana, telling people not to concern you and other people's business. I think they may say it's rude, but I think that's normal. Being invited to an event that really isn't a priority to me. I'm Adrienne, and I'm calling from South Carolina by way of Maryland. I think it's crazy that people think it's rude if you hang up while you're having an argument. I think we should hang up, regroup, and then come back to the conversation if need be.
00:06:01
Speaker 1: Let me see.
00:06:03
Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
00:06:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get on that one. I'll hang up if you get disrespectful. You get disrespect when you get loud and I'd be like, hello.
00:06:14
Speaker 1: Hello.
00:06:16
Speaker 3: I just politely hang up and go ahead and scroll down to that block number and block that thing.
00:06:20
Speaker 1: Block that thing. I ain't got to talk to you.
00:06:22
Speaker 4: Right.
00:06:23
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Because you ought to be able to have a conversation. There's a difference between setting a boundary and being disrespectful.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Right. You know what I'm saying? But there's nothing wrong with saying no.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: And I think we live in an area where everybody have a sense of entitlement, you know, and Or you just assume that somebody's going to say yes just because you asked for something or whatever. But, you know, once you tell people no, all you got to do is look at their face. If you really want to know who like you and who don't like you, if I say no to you and you stop liking me after that, that means you didn't like me in the first place.
00:06:56
Speaker 5: Right.
00:06:57
Speaker 1: If one no is all it took for you to dislike me. All it took.
00:07:01
Speaker 3: And once you say no, they do not like you, but no more. You can see it in their face or whatever. All right, y'all, for all the people this morning, we're talking about setting boundaries and things people consider rude that you don't. Some of the examples like, you know, I don't have to attend every event I'm invited to. I don't have to, you know, I don't have to answer personal questions just because you asked. I don't have to tip if the service was terrible. So this morning we want to know what is something people consider rude that you don't think is rude at all. Let's go to the phones.
00:07:33
Speaker 7: Good morning.
00:07:34
Speaker 4: My name is Ken.
00:07:35
Speaker 6: I'm calling from Orlando, Florida.
00:07:36
Speaker 4: And I feel like people think.
00:07:38
Speaker 7: Answering the phone is weird or rude.
00:07:42
Speaker 6: I'm like, if I don't want to talk, I ain't got to answer my phone and talk to you.
00:07:46
Speaker 4: Okay, I think it's normal.
00:07:47
Speaker 2: Like, if somebody texts me, like you said, take my time and text them back.
00:07:52
Speaker 6: And they feel like it's new, I feel like it's just me minding my business.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: I'm just, you know, doing my own thing.
00:07:58
Speaker 1: This is Dre. I'm calling from Phoenix.
00:08:01
Speaker 4: I completely call normal, telling people to shut the f * * * up.
00:08:05
Speaker 7: I do, but I tell a person you can't do something, and then they get mad.
00:08:10
Speaker 6: Because you can't do it. So I hit you with that flick.
00:08:13
Speaker 7: Not now, but hell to the not now.
00:08:15
Speaker 4: My name is Lex, and I'm from Orlando. And I stopped answering my phone because people will call you and tell you all the bad news. Poo-poo, Tiki, Wednesday, but they won't call you and invite you to the barbecue or the lottery winners or whatever they have.
00:08:31
Speaker 6: I'm Kim, and I'm calling from Charlotte, North Carolina. And I think it's completely normal not to open the door when someone shows up at my home unannounced.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: That part. I swear.
00:08:41
Speaker 3: When I tell you I can find me a dark spot inside a house and watch their ass out there on that porch pulling up on you. And let me tell you something that I don't play out, Frieza.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: What?
00:08:51
Speaker 3: Don't come to my door talking on the cell phone. Don't walk up to me talking on a cell phone. If you want to talk to me, talk to me. We need to have a real conversation on phone etiquette.
00:09:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, the person in person is the most important. You can call the person back on the phone.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: I don't talk to you if you're on the phone.
00:09:10
Speaker 3: If you're walking up to see me in the airport, you want to walk up and talk to me and you're already on the phone. Now I got to talk to the person and you're trying to prove that you see Ricky Smiley with the person on the phone.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: Now you want me to get on the phone to prove to Pookie that you're standing. I don't play that. Yeah, and then this do you remember.
00:09:26
Speaker 3: Me stuff irritates me, and I don't play that game, peek-a-boo.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I called a girl. I said, we too old to play peek-a-boo. Tell me who you are. Oh, man, you know what I'm saying?
00:09:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I met you in 92 at the Step Show at Alabama A & M, you know, stuff like that.
00:09:42
Speaker 1: You don't know who I am.
00:09:43
Speaker 3: One lady, she leaned back on her legs. Lean back on one leg, like Funky Deneva be saying. Like, she was finna really drop a bomb. Like, she folded her arms and leaned back on one leg. She said, you don't know who I am. And she was wobbling her neck.
00:09:59
Speaker 1: I said, no, ma'am. She said, I went to school with your mama.
00:10:03
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: Now, Ricky, I have one. Ron, I promise. I'm not lying. You can't make this stuff up. And Dan had an attitude because I didn't know who she was. You weren't even born yet, dog. I said, ma'am, my mama's fallopian tube don't have windows.
00:10:20
Speaker 5: Shut up, Ricky. Shut up, man.
00:10:24
Speaker 1: And then she said, that's how y'all act when y'all make it. That's how y'all act. And she leaned back on one day, she had on a kitty heel.
00:10:33
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: All right.
00:10:36
Speaker 6: Nope.
00:10:40
Speaker 1: You don't know who I am? We in Walmart over there in Centerpoint. You don't know who I am? I said, no, ma'am. You know, I'm always very respectful. She said, I went to school with your mama. She said mama real hard.
00:10:54
Speaker 5: Right.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: She went to Hays. I thought she was going to say she went to school with you, but your mama? No, my mama. And got mad because I didn't know who she was.
00:11:04
Speaker 4: Right.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Oh, man.
00:11:05
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah. Yeah, they do it.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: They're grown people playing peek-a-boo. And I said, hey, I don't know. Do you know who you are?
00:11:12
Speaker 4: No.
00:11:12
Speaker 1: I don't remember you. Tell me who you are. Like that, in a real nice way. And they'd be shocked. That's nice. Because I lie.
00:11:20
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, my gosh, I do remember. How have you been? How's your family?
00:11:25
Speaker 1: What's my name? I lie.
00:11:26
Speaker 2: I just lie.
00:11:27
Speaker 3: I'm not going to fake. If I don't know who you are, I'm going to tell you I don't know who you are. And then that's up to you. You can't charge nothing else to nobody's memory. We meet a lot of people from week to week and month to month and year to year.
00:11:38
Speaker 6: You know where, Ricky?
00:11:38
Speaker 1: You meet a lot of people.
00:11:39
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:11:40
Speaker 1: Beyonce Aloysius got one.
00:11:42
Speaker 4: What?
00:11:42
Speaker 6: What? Oh.
00:11:44
Speaker 3: So mine is, you know, you talk about going over to people's houses and stuff like that.
00:11:49
Speaker 7: I don't and I don't know how to say this without saying it weird, but I don't like to eat everybody's meat. So like, I don't know.
