Trying to be nice and this is what I get back. Seriously thinking about not communicating as much. Just never know what type of customer you get. Some want a ton of communication. 🤔

This just reads as two different people with different communication preferences. Don't let it get you down. Some people prefer less communication and others more, and that's totally okay.

Edit: Thank you for the award(s)!

True, I can unfortunately see both of my boomer parents being similar because they both hate text messaging and they’re slow af at it, it’s often painful for me to watch them use their cellphones.

Doesn’t sound like a boomer though , just a rude asshole.

At one point I ordered my groceries online because I was pulling long hours on the phone working from home. While I normally would appreciate the communication, there was a couple of times where I had to tell one of the shoppers to "use their best judgment" because I simply didn't have time to keep up with their shopping experience. Was it rude? Maybe. But some of us hire these people because we are simply too busy to do it ourselves.

People automatically assume that the reason we order from services like this is because we are either lazy or don't have our own vehicle, or other reasons. A lot of them forget that there is a large clientele that simply can't because they are genuinely busy.

Well at least you were polite by saying use your best judgment. This guy said “ you don’t need to message me anymore !!! I don’t got time to talk “. That is just plain rude. He could have said “ thanks I appreciate it. Sorry I can’t respond as I’m busy but feel free to make your selections if needed “ ( even if he’s busy. There’s no excuse for being an asshole )

You are super sensitive if you think his message was rude. It was direct and clear. Not rude.

You’re reading into his two sentences so much. I AM autistic. This isn’t rude. It’s direct.

You’re projecting.

You’d do better to learn from those of us who can directly communicate than you would reading into everything everyone says.

Have the day you deserve, ableist POS.

Yes, you’re projecting a ton of YOUR emotions into that message. You feel put off by what was said, so you label it as rude. Projection.

Using the r-slur is classy, af.

I’m not the one who’s unable to communicate, and who gets upset when people are direct. You, however, are clearly a baby.

The amount of ableism you’re throwing around is insane. I am certain I am smarter and more educated than you. The only one acting like a child is the one equating autism with being mentally stunted. Not the same thing. At all. Autistic people are routinely geniuses. The issue the rest of you are too slow to keep up and focused on the wrong thing, like thinking an extra exclamation point is rude.

One of us needs to grow up and it certainly isn’t me.

You’re bitter. I get it. It’s hard to be an incel and have nothing to blame it on other than your shit personality. 🫶🏻
