      Yeah, but social punishment for rudeness is how you get a world where strangers are polite to each other

      Causing a tiny inconvenience for yourself is worth it

          Yes? Obviously? Someone else got mildly publicly embarrassed for not being polite to a stranger

          As someone who does the little things like hold the door for others, I think to myself “okay, asshole” every time doesn’t acknowledge it. It makes me just a little more hesitant to do it in the future

          When someone does get called out for it, it’s incredibly vindicating. Even seeing it second hand is validating

          There’s such a thing as a good Karen. Society does need Karens, but we need them to call out people making the world a worse place in little ways like this
