alt Hacker NewsAgreed. Wasting applicants time should have consequences. I can play along for a little bit to appease people who are intentionally testing how I handle a difficult situation but I am not going to allow an extended waste of time to occur and that's something I want to communicate to potential employers as well

This is so funny. "I'll show them by being slightly obnoxious for ten minutes! Then they'll know not to mess with me!"
I'm sure they'll really feel those consequences.

The consequence is that they don't get to enjoy your competence as an employee nor that of others who don't feel treated well, with implications for their future strength in the market. That's a much stronger consequence that being rude for a moment to somebody who doesn't care anyway.
