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.

      Sure. That’s how it works. People do crappy jobs because they like doing crappy jobs. They could choose any job in the world to keep a roof over their heads. But being paid badly to get shouted at a lot is just what turns them on.

      Tech support scammers are in the same psycological position as them and that is more complex than just wanting to be a bad person. Corruption by desperation and greed.
