Ask Lemmy

Who? Religious people at my doorstep.

Reason? They came to MY doorstep with their BS.

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

Antimaskers, antivaxxers, "stop the steal" assholes, homophobes/terfs/bigots in general. If your ideas injure and kill others, I am going to treat you like someone that spreads ideas that injure and kill others not as someone to be debated in a "civil" manner.

Holocaust deniers. There is no excuse, fuck em

I work in IT and occasionally encounter super sexist people who want a man to fix their computers. I'm not rude to these people while on the phone with them and I make sure to be extra kind. I totally talk shit after hanging up though. Fuck anyone who thinks I can't do my job because I'm a woman.

Solicitation at my door.

1. I have a sign, on my door, that says "no solicitors."
2. By law, all solicitors must have a solicitation license from the county on their person. It's a photo ID issued by the county. None of them do.
3. I work from home with a handicapped wife. Do not bother me.

I give them one chance to go away. If they press it, I demand to see their license, which "Oh it's in the truck" or "it's in the office" or "I am not soliciting, I am giving you a FREE ESTIMATE..." I call the cops. Fuck em. Non-emergency number, I state a description of a suspicious man who refused to show me a solicitation license, and kept asking me to open my door. I describe the direction they are going with dates, streets, and times.

A few get nabbed. Some of these guys are known to the police because they are possibly casing your house and they have a ton of camera evidence of them peeping in windows and gates.

Pedos that ruined lemmy shitpost

I like to ask the phone scammers if their moms are proud of them. I had one a few days ago who got so pissed off by that question that he invited me to suck his dick and then called me an asshole before hanging up, lol. Damn, social security agent Robert, you angry.

People who eat at restaurants/fast food and act like it's okay to treat the employees like shit.

Like bro idgaf about your bad day. I've already dealt with 300 other people's bad days and you really don't want to deal with mine.

Call center scammers pretending to be "Microsoft Support" and the like. Especially if they call again after I already told them to F off the first time. The last time one of them called I told them to wait a moment, set the phone next to my speakers and then blasted The Mermaid Sisters - F[$%&]ng Bullsh*t Song at full volume until he hung up.

Super petty and not at all mature, but soooo satisfying.

Conservative because I find them insufferable and tone deaf.

Bigots. I ain't bothering to be polite about calling out your racist/sexist/homo/transphobic shit and correcting your shit-brained thinking. If you're a bigot, you're a piece of shit and will be treated as such.

Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and generally anyone who wants to convert me to their fucked up religion when they knock on my door. Why should I be civil when they bother me at my house on my time off to dictate what I should believe in? If I'm interested I'd go to them and not the other way around.

People who want to cut in my lane without a turn signal.

The charity telemarketers (it's actually just one particular dude, lile 50% of the time) that call me once or twice a week asking for donations to one of a dozen different charity organization. That's apparently what I get for donating like $50 to a Firefighters' charity 4 years ago.

Charity gets you punished, folks.

Noone. Why would you be rude to anyone and spend your energy on making their day miserable which by extension effects your mood too?

Morale: don't be rude for the sake of being rude, that's just... rude. And you ain't no saint for gloating about it either.

The whole telemarketer / debt collector thing is one of the top reasons why I wouldn't want to move away from the Pixel series of phones. The Call Screen feature just automatically declines their calls for me.

Funnily enough, if you bring up the screen while its active, there's an option something along the lines of "Do not call back" (or maybe its the Report as Spam button) that gives them a very aggressive but "nice" way of telling them to kick rocks, and to remove my number from their list.

Homophobic people. Don't care if its your religion, or if im called religious phobic (which is a stupid term).

Christians. At this point if you don’t understand that you identify with a hate group then your just an idiot. Either way I don’t have time to deal with you.

Animal abusers.

Fucksticks who come to my door to sell me shit or ask for money or whatever the fuck.

I'm generally polite to everybody, but I do believe that it's immoral to be a debt collector, so I judge them pretty hard inwardly. I'd live in a tent or get a job flipping burgers before I would stoop to that level.

If your livelihood relies on hurting others, you're a bad person.

Ditto on all telemarketers/robo calls. Useful tip: if you know its a robo/marketer/scam answer the phone with "Thank you for calling, can I get your last name first and your order number?" then progressively and aggressively keep asking for personal details of them and their order.

Trump Supporters and Pro-Lifers.

Go fuck yourselves assholes.

parents who try to bully referees and umpires at little league games

Typically I'm just not rude to people unless they're rude to me

Republicans, Trump supporters, and family that still support the current Republican party. They have to know to a large degree what they're supporting and deserve no tolerance or excuse for their support of it.

The people carrying petitions that follow you around trying to get you to sign it. Not the ones that stay in one place though
