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.

People that litter.

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

Lady at my office dumped a McDonalds coke out of her car door in our own company parking lot, splashing her own car and mine in the process. Shows zero respect - so she gets zero respect.

It's hard for me to be straight up rude to people, but I will make things generally more difficult and take longer than necessary. I make it a game to see how long I can keep a person talking. It's amazing how a few simple "Oh, really?" and "Dang, that's crazy" will keep someone on the hook.

You OP. Hope you stub your toe really hard getting out of bed in the morning.

[–] reversebananimals@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Found the scam caller.

[–] infyrin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Uh, my bed is just a foam mattress and I have no box spring and I typically have a clean environment. So, never happening.

[–] Fubar91@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I hope you still stub your toe into the foam hard enough that it hurts, and make your eyes water up.

[–] Sludger@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

No one.

I don't think its worth ruining my and their day just because I don't like something about them.

(Especially if they are just doing their job, cause shitty jobs suck already) √{°u°}√

Religious fundamentalists attacking others, tunnel vision marketers who talk over people in need just so they can try and say their spiel at them on the street, assholes who try to distract only the people who are clearly in an emergency. Markelon muskerberg, anything trump, Martin shkrelli, brock Turner and Aaron perskey and Alan Turner, anything Scientology, the sacklers, mark forkner, big pharma, anyone DuPont, Coca Cola, Koch brothers, spez, rooshv,

I've had my phone number since 2005. Since the jump I have been getting calls for Janet Juarez, looking to collect on some debts. I just got another one a couple weeks back.

Interesting take.

[–] smoof@artemis.camp 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How do you tell off scam callers? Literally 100% of the calls I receive are recordings. I usually hang up within 5 seconds, though.

calls from China, speaking Chinese. usually I just say the few words in that language I know to waste their time.

I get about ten calls every week for air duct cleaning. I wouldn't say I'm rude, but I will waste as much of their time as I can.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Probably always be rude to this guy I work with. He threw a baby tantrum at a work Foosball tournament, then hid in his cubicle for a week and then just started showing up again without an apology to anyone.

He expects us to just forget all that?
