Some random dude walked up to me while I was waiting outside a food place for my food and asked me this question.

I said “no, I dont give out random favors” and something along the lines of that’s sus.

Is it rude to say no to random dude that asks for a favor?

    Your stance is that I’m required to say yes for some random street person to ask you for a favor?

    As in yes, please explain the favor first so I can say no afterwards?

    I suffer from anxiety and nearly had a panic attack. Been mugged and had broken bone from it.

    Edit, i guess I could have handled it better and was slightly rude for immediate denial.

      You chose a seemingly intentionally rude way to respond. There’s a whole lot of ways to decline something, and it’s just as easy to be polite as not. “Sorry, I don’t have time,” even just “sorry” and keep walking are great options. Or you can choose to make someone feel bad just for asking/needing help with something. Not sure why you’d choose to make a stranger feel bad, but I guess that’s up to you.

      And btw, the way you are responding to comments makes clear that, rather than genuinely asking this question, you are just looking for people to tell you it was ok to be rude.
