Do you think it is rude?
Have you ever thought it was rude?
Is it ever acceptable?

I think it depends on who you're booing and how many beers you've had.

I boo other runners when I pass them in races. And then I tell them how much they sucked at the finish line.....

This is from PH's book of "Encouraging Others Tthrough Shame and Humiliation", right?

When I pass high school runners, I make a comment about having kids older than they are.

If I could pass high school runners, I'd make a comment about having kids older than they are. |

Even the ones who trip and fall into nonexistant craters, permanently disfiguring themselves, while being mugged by pygmies, resulting in temporary amnesia, along the way?

I would only use booing during political rallies, and even then it's much more effective and fun to yell nasty comments...

I'll go with Akern here...that's the only time I do. Say, someone has decided to dive in the Bay after being warned that it is only two feet deep and hits a dock that is still submerged from WIlma.

I've been thinking about the 'boo' lately and would love to implement it into my every day situations...
doctor tells me something I don't like? I boo him.
Boss tells me I didn't get the promotion? Boo and heckling ensue.
I'll let you know how that goes...
