I like what Matt's Mom said. Most of the time it is foo-in-mouth disease, not knowing all the facts, having a bad day, preconceived notions (often from the media), and previous experience.
Today a women had a hissy fit in a chat room over TMJ. Mel explained a symptom which to me was a classic TMJ symptom and I started to explain what to do. The hissy fit woman posts lots of info on TMJ and was an expert because once she had her wisdom teeth removed and got temporary TMJ. She was the expert. Honey I have had TMJ off and on for the past 2 decades and have spent long days and nights in the bathroom crying and overdosing on aspirin. I am symptom free for now. That is the way some people are. They think they know better and demand that they be deemed the expert.
Some people scream "Shut up that brat" because they are stressed out from work, loss of family, car accidents, annoying clients, and all the bad things of life. They may be under the influence, might be reacting to something, or have mental health problems.
There is no excuse for rude behavior but at the same time we do not know why that person was rude. It could be poor training when they were a child, quirks like I have (thanks mom), a mean boss or something else troubling them or an illness lke low sugars or alchoholism. In my case the hissy fit lady has a history of needing to be superior, showing off her brains and game skills, and snapping to a judgment before thinking through the situation. I feel sorry for the rude people and hope one day they see the light, so to speak, and realize how they were rude.
Hugs
