I’ve observed that people often assume that because nothing was said about their disrespect, their poor behavior, their offense, that it wasn’t noticed. The truth is that it was not only noticed but that in many cases it will be quietly dealt with. People who have no power often have the loudest reaction to disrespect and poor treatment. So people with the power to appropriately deal with disrespect and poor treatment will often do so quietly and in a way that can permanently impact you.
It’s wise to do your best not to offend other people. But please do not continue to do it once you realize they aren’t openly reacting or responding to it. If you do, be prepared to face consequences you may not like.
