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.

Street preachers

They're awful and disruptive.

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.

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

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.

Animal abusers.

Trump Supporters and Pro-Lifers.

Go fuck yourselves assholes.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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°}√

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.

Cunts.

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.

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,

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.

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

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

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

Anyone pushing their religion to others.

I've had parents come to me and demand that their child would be excluded from classes involving sex education or something else they think is "wrong". Simple but strict "no" usually infuriates them.

I will teach every student according to the national curriculum and the matter will not be discussed further. Then the parents threaten to take this to the principal and see me reprimanded. Good luck with that, our principal is much stricter than me about going by the book.

Interesting take.

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.

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?

I'm not really rude by default to anyone. If I'm in a bad mood I guess I can sometimes get rude when irritated. But I feel like all humans deserve some base level of respect and courtesy.

If it's someone horrible like a serial killer or child rapist or something I wouldn't even be rude, just not interact at all with them.

But generally speaking, people are all humans. Scam callers are third worlders from poor countries. If I lived in Nigeria making less than $800 a month in salary, I wouldn't feel bad about scamming rich westerners. We live in prosperity and luxury whereas they get the shit end of the stick. I don't blame them.

Debt collectors are just doing their job. They have a family to feed, have hopes and dreams, probably hate their job, etc.

I don't like Trumpers generally but I try to be polite and friendly. I like planting seeds of doubt into their mind. Criticize Republicans in ways they can understand.

"Man Trump is such a shithead, he doesn't believe in free market capitalism"

They hear the phrase "free market capitalism" and know it's something they're supposed to support, so they ask for clarification

"Well he put taxes on imports on foreign goods so now steel is more expensive for regular Americans. It's anti-free market"

They sometimes just shrug and look a bit concerned. Republicans have a lot of little inconsistencies. "Fiscal conservatives" but they balloon the national debt everytime. "Freedom and liberty" but they try banning books, drag shows, abortions, trans surgeries, etc. Reagan is an idol but he supported getting rid of guns, gave amnesty to illegals, his economic advisor Friedman supported open borders, etc.

It's really not that hard to throw a little cognitive dissonance their way. It only works if they see you as a friend though. If they think of you as an enemy or threat, they will immediately get defensive and you'll probably just make them more set in their beliefs.

Salespeople.

Any kind of pushy religious people.

Republican politicians.

Linguistic elitists—for example, people who shout that "the Blacks don't speak good English" or who get pissed off that "I could care less" is an idiom that exists.

I was a linguistics major in college and, sorry not sorry, language is malleable and it changes over time. You can't stop it. Look the French—the Académié Française can try to legislate the language all they want, but nobody says la coussin de sécurité, they just say l'airbag.

Redditors and reddit-likers, cause they think they're always right

People who bring a baby on a long flight for anything other than a dying or recently deceased relative.
