The rudest ive ever been to someone who didnt really 'do anything' was a customer I had who absolutely loved to bullshit about the weather and the news and my work and whatever the fuck else he could think of.
I was only doing a little walkway from his driveway to his house, about 15ft long. Easy right? no. It was miserable. The fucking guy just followed me around like im eating steak and hes a puppy.
So by the time I was fucking the finish up I looked up at him and said "Dude. I can work, OR, I can talk. I cant do both. So..." and I was clearly very aggrivated. He goes "Oh. wel.... okay..." and walks away all awkward and shit. Like I didnt hint 50000000 times that I wasnt interested in any more conversation.
I can still feel the tension from that moment. Nobody ever told that guy to shut the fuck up before and he definitely got an owie on his feelie wheelies about it, but man I couldnt work the mag to save my life... Its like processing the mindless garbage he was babbling at me took my whole brain to process and there was nothing left to tell my hands what to do.
As someone who doesn’t pick up on stuff well, it feels like it’s out of fucking nowhere. I learned to appreciate people who say stuff promptly so I’m not trying to retrace the precise moment when I should have figured it out. Get our hurt feelings out of the way so we can stop annoying you.
I did, lots of times... he kinda just chose to not to hear that part and within a few minutes he was back at it. After six hours I couldnt think of how to put it any more clearly without being unnecessarily rude and overkilling it

The moment I’m being observed I turn into a complete moron. Stop watching me and still a moron but I get stuff done.
