What does it mean to be mild-mannered?

Think Mr. Rogers.

It means you’re the janitor in Honk Kong Phooey.

Don’t easily get angry. You just kind of take things as they come. No worries. My son is really mild mannered. Until you piss him off. >_<

@Dutchess_III Yeah, that’s how my husband is. He rarely gets mad at anything and his favorite line is ‘everything will work out’.... I’m like pulling my hair, going ‘how’....he’s smiling like the Mona Lisa in perfect calm…drives me crazy. haha!

It would drive me crazy too.
So then you bust your ass fixing the problem while he scratches his butt.
Then he says, “See? I told you it would work out.”
Well, it wasn’t thanks to you, hubs.

@Dutchess_III Wow, it’s like you watch us argue…exactly! I make things happen with a plan, hard work, etc…., he waits for karma to hand them to us on a silver platter.

Right? I face exactly the same thing.

@Dutchess Oh lort….whats his sign? You’re a Leo right? My husbands a Sag.

He’s a December 20 thing.

Haha, hubs is 12–2. Funny!!

Oh god!

Someone who is mild mannered stays out of the fray, minds his own business.

The most famous mild mannered person?

Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for the Daily Planet.

It means

A. Being indifferent to the petty emotionalism that directs many people’s behavior
Or
B. Being able to appear to be indifferent while suppressing the urge to kill

Basically just being polite and not wanting to cause a fuss. This is me in the real world. (Don’t let my online shenanigans fool you.)

Speaks softly but carries a BIG stick!

To be a gentle soul, to be gentle in nature.
