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.

    These pet names are lovely to those who want/expect it, and annoying and demeaning to those that dont. Im sorry others use these names on you or others in your life that dont like it. It sounds recductive but, ask them to stop, most dont want to hurt others and if they know you dont like it and ignore your request they are assholes that deserve the worst.

      No. I should not have to ask grown adults not to call me these names. These are co-workers, acquaintances, strangers, not people who should be assuming any level of familiarity with me. The default should be basic respect.

      “Just this. Just that.” Stop telling the people getting shit on to make excuses and accomodations for the behavior of people with power.
