I managed this mental trick with the stupid people who stop and stand still at the bottom of escalators (moving stairways) because they don't know which way they're going next, or those who stand close to and obstruct the exit door of a bus for several stops because they will need to get off the bus and are oblivious of the fact that so does everyone else who is travelling. These things used to make me disproportionately angry and I dealt with it by the trick of admiring their self-centred-ness. Initially this was a forced reaction, but eventually it came more naturally to me and was a hell of a lot more comfortable than fuming all the time.
I do repeat that I fully understand that the irritations that used to get my goat are not comparable to the rudeness you have described and therefore my method may be totally inappropriate.
Wishing you all the best.
