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?

    I don’t think it’s rude. It’s a favor, after all, not expected behavior.

    I almost always respond with, “depends on the favor.” They could be asking for you to take their picture; they could be asking for $1000 for their MLM. I’m not signing a blank check by answering “yes”.

      This is my go-to as well, never fails. Because a lot of the things people want me to do for them (especially at work in public-facing job) are legitimately things I won’t or don’t want to do.
