What works for me is trying to think like a stoic. What I like about stoicism is it is phenomenally objective and practical. Will being upset improve my situation? Will being short-tempered back to a person that was short with you be helpful in any way? If yes, then by all means be upset. If no, then you know it is an irrational emotional response and it is best just pretend it did not happen. Learn a lesson from it, but do not let it impact your mood.
