I'm rude to debt collectors who call me trying to collect debts from people who happen to once have had the same phone number as I once did. Like, I'm not who you're trying to collect from, fuck off.

I'm also rude to generally any scam caller, they're some of the few people I take great pleasure in telling off because I can get away with it. They're scammy assholes, what're they gonna do? Cry to the authorities? Knowing that they're pieces of shit who scam people out of money? Good fucking luck.

No one. It's too much energy to be spent on people that I dislike.

I wish I was made of stone.

I'm the same. Spam caller? Just hang up. Someone cuts me up in traffic? I'll be upset but not gonna waste any time on the ass who did it. People with dumb ideas? Tell them what you think but close the conversation or walk away.

I remember in a tech shop someone ranting after being asked for their email address when paying. Kept a few of us in the queue waiting and what did he win from it?? Did he really feel good after shouting at shop staff?

Can't see any win from being rude to anyone. Just live and let live man.

It’s not on other customers if a shop has you waiting. It’s on the shop for making it needlessly complex. It’s like blaming someone who is reading out their coupon numbers: they are the user. Not the dev team. Take your complaint to the right people who can make the difference to the business model. Long queues isn’t the customer’s fault. It’s on how that business is managed. you could hold your breath if you ever think your happiness is a prerogative by another customer’s responsibility.

And while I agree about the energy thing with scammers, I do not agree with calling it a waste of time if someone else is going to stand up to it.

Scammers take advantage of the vulnerable elderly. So good on the ones who slow them down. No need to minimize their effort by calling it a waste of time. Like you said : live and let live.
