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

    Bwahaha sure it is… look at what the OP posted…Do you think this event made the OP polite?

      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
