I keep my mouth shut until I can be by myself to analyze the reasons why I was upset and then decide if I need to take appropriate action, or just let it go, or even if maybe I was overreacting. I try my best not to get wound up and react in the heat of the moment.
I was just in this situation last Friday where someone at work kept saying things that were really not necessary and were pushing my buttons - but luckily it was the end of the day so I could clock out and leave shortly after the incidents. The whole drive home I grumbled to myself, but it was better than snapping and saying something to the coworker at the time. I thought about it for a little bit that evening, and let it go until Monday morning when I could have a calm and rational discussion with the supervisor about the uncalled for "attack" I was under before leaving on Friday.
