I work in a bar-restaurant. It’s football season, a home game is on, and we’re almost certainly beyond capacity. The music is loud so people can hear it, and people are talking loudly to be heard over the music.
I’m serving tables, but there’s a large group of men standing by the bar between where the food gets picked up and where the tables are, so I have to get through them to serve food to people. I have to “yell” for them to excuse me — not in a rude tone, just loudly. Everyone in the group smiles and moves out of the way every time (but goes right back to where they were once I’m through) except for one guy.
Customer: “You keep yelling at people with that b**** face on. It’s mean.”
Me: Immediately pi$$ed off “Dude, look around. I’m busy. I have people waiting on food. I’m not smiling like you seem to expect because I’m focused on doing my f****** job. Y’all are standing exactly in the way of me doing that job. You clearly aren’t paying enough attention to just get out of the way without being told, and I have to get through, so I can either say, ‘Excuse me,’ loudly enough for you to hear me, or I can push you. Pushing might make me drop things, though, so I’ve opted to make myself heard. If that’s an issue for you, you’re welcome to get the f*** out. Now, you seem pretty bad at using your eyes, so this is food that a customer is waiting on, and you’re in my way. EXCUSE ME!”
He didn’t leave, but he didn’t say anything else to me. I overheard him complaining to other customers, my coworkers, my boss, etc., but no one gave him the response he was clearly looking for.
One neighbor had this loud party going on at 3AM. The other neighbor turns on his built in home generator. The whole neighborhood shakes. End of party. (It helped that the #@$% generator had just run for a week due to a disaster. No one wanted to hear that again).

Customer: “You know, you’re really mean.”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Customer: “You’re mean. You’re rude. Everyone thinks so.”
Me: “How am I being mean?”
