For example, I have been rude to the check out woman at my local Walgreens because she is slow (and fat and cypherlike) and I don't like slow (or fat and cypherlike). Once I was rude the first time, it feels weird to then be nice the next time so I have this pattern of rudeness with her. It makes me feel bad, but I can't break the cycle.
I was also rude to the trainer at my gym who whistled at me to get my attention to tell me I couldn't leave my warm up pants scrunched at the base of the elliptical machine. About a year later I ran into this guy at my managing partner's Christmas party. He is the partner's personal trainer. Small world.
Anyone else outright rude at times and powerless to stop it?

I am never rude to people in service industries because I understand their pain. I want to crawl under the table when I'm at dinner and some dick at my table is being a jerk to the wait staff just because he can. HOWEVER, I will not abide a slow bartender. I want my fucking drink as fast as I can get it.
THE RUDEST THING in the world is a pointless CYA letter wherein the writer misrepresents what you previously said to him/her. I have this one asshole who continually reiterates with his own spin every conversation I have with him, and then references alleged "agreements." I told him I had no intention of replying to any of his letters as he was being annoying. He then tells the judge I renegged on an agreement - an agreement which never fucking existed. Because of his rudeness and stupidity, now I won't take any of his calls and he never knows what's going on. In instances like that I think being rude and ignoring calls is utterly warranted.
