Be honest - have you ever been a rude customer?

I took my puppy to the vet, but had to activate my replacement credit card to pay the bill. The nurse was holding my puppy as I waited on the phone. I was told it was activated, then the rep started blurting out offer after offer. I couldn't get a word in, the first thing I told her when calling was, I am at a store trying to check out with my new card, but she kept talking. I hung up on her. I know it was rude, but she wouldn't give me a chance to say "no thanks" :o
 
I am a rude customer quite often actually.

It is never my intention to be that way, but often I find that stores and other services simply dont give the service they should...and I do not meekly walk off into the sunset.

I had an old pair of boots that i wanted fixed up, so I took them to a store that fixed up shoes and asked them to put new soles on them...and when i got them back and paid for them, I found that the store removed the steel toes of the boots. They explained that it was easier to fix without the toes in. Well, I wanted my STEEL TOE boots fixed...and at NO POINT did I ask for the steel toes to be removed.

I bought a bike from Wal-Mart...and while I was wheeling it out to the car I notice the tire was going flat. I wheeled it back into the store an was told "yeah, we're having a problem with this model where the tires are all defective" and then they REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY. A rage explosion occurred all over the manager...I stood in the doorway screaming like a madman...dozens...no...scores...no...over a hundred customers left before buying anything...and finally they agreed to give me a new tire.

Sadly, this type of thing happens...at least once every few months or so...where the only way I can get decent service is to be incredibly rude.
 
I don't think this was rude, but I waited in drive thru so long without even being acknowledged that I finally sarcastically said into the intercom "ok, I guess I'm not here", and squealed my tires out of the parking lot to go somewhere else.

My boyfriend and I go sometimes to a very expensive fondue restaurant in Cleveland where we can easily drop $300 a dinner. If my boyfriend likes the waiter, he can easily leave $100 tip, but we once had a very rude and snobbish waiter who acted the entire night like he was doing some unbelievable chore every time he brought us anything. We are not demanding or difficult to wait on, we just expect to be treated attentively and respectfully when we are spending hundreds of dollars at the restaurant, so we left him a $20 tip for a $300 dinner.

My boyfriend and his friends tend to be rude when they're not treated as well as they feel they are entitled. He once told someone to go to hell. We and a very loud friend once went to the mall, where someone had parked in the middle of the aisle, not even in a parking space. She went inside to tell the mall guard at the desk right inside the door that someone was going to run into the car if it wasn't moved. He answered, while barely glancing up from the book he was reading, that he would do "the best he could", to which she replied "yes well unfortunately you're a mall guard", and walked away.

To be honest, leaving a 20 dollar tip wasn't all that rude, considering how rude the waiter was. I'd say he's lucky you left him anything at all.
 
Yea if a waiter or waitress is rude or takes long...they ain't getting **** from me.

I'm also prone to going mad when someone I.Ds me. Especially when they are clearly younger than me.

There I was with a full on beard, in my work clothes and the muppet I.Ds me for cigerettes. (I don't bring my I.D to work incase i lose it)

I said to him politely "Be honest, do I look younger than 16?"

He replied "No"

I said "Well then why I.D me?"

"I have to, it's the rules" or some crap like that.

I didn't have a full on rant at him, because he was doing his job. But I'd just had a hard days work and was in a bad mood. But I ****ing HATE people who sacrifice common sense and their own judgement for the rules. Not to mention there is no way in hell that I could be under 16. It's physically impossible. Therefore, no risk to his job or him getting in trouble.

Honestly, I think I'm too shy to be a rude customer.
 
Anyone been a rude customer by accident? I once ranted and raved at a store for giving me change for a ten after I handed them a twenty, or at least, I thought I handed them a twenty until I got home and realized I still had it in my wallet.
 
It was not that I was overly rude but I did get a bit sarcastic toward the airline representative who cancelled our flight after a 4 hour delay and then proposed to put us on another one 12 hours away and not reimburse us when I stated I would take the train which only took 5 hours. I thought the service was appalling.

Was it Delta? I bet it was Delta. Delta just sucks ass these day.

I once set fire to a Big Issue salesman. I poured some diesel on him and flicked my cigarette at him. Does that count as rude?
