Boundaries are limits that are set to keep people from crossing their limits. As humans, we have a limit on what we can tolerate. Sometimes rudeness might not be intentional; it can be an expression of how a person feels. People go through stress, pressure, and sometimes hunger, etc., which can affect their behavior towards Others.
For instance, a hungry man cannot relate as well as when he is okay; he sometimes picks offense over minor issues. A saying goes, "A hungry man is an angry man." Likewise, other circumstances might affect a person's behavior by making the person behave rudely.
As far as life is concerned, rudeness is one of the habits of man. It could be directly or indirectly, intentionalally or unintentionally, but our ability to understand this is often our challenge.
If a person is rude to me, I try to see the reason the person is rude; if the fault is mine, I apologize; if it's not, then there must be a reason for that, and I try to understand the situation. Taking things or words personally might not help the situation, and jumping into drama might also lead to unnecessary fights and further problems. So I would rather keep cool and simply walk away. If the situation is complicated and would need me to talk to the person when all is calm, I do that; if not, I keep my distance. But nevertheless, when rudeness becomes a continuous act, it is deliberate, it needs to be addressed, and boundaries should be set in.
At this point, I voice it out depending on how the situation demands it, either calmly, as a warning, or otherwise, to let the person know how I feel about their behavior, and after that, I simply walk away.
