I did that a lot too, then I took a habit of not getting online in this state of mind. Now I'm reconsidering it — it's just not fun this way.
I was never rude to people, I was just giving them weird ideas, like telling artists they are the next big thing. Once my friends were going to Kyiv — by car, and I wanted to join them, but I could not: the company I was employed at the time planned a major release and I was to stay and make sure that at least all autotests run (we have failed at that and the shiny boxes arrived at the stores with the version of our software that was unusable, but it wasn't me to blame).
Anyway, I planned to catch up with them so I took the train — a truly marvelous adventure. I had a bottle of whisky on me, Jameson, the Irish kind. When I got bored I started offering drinks to everyone I have found, and it ended up me going through the carts, telling people we're the new Hippies and that we are going to the meadow where we all would be happy — and I got the following, we were walking around disturbing the boring people who were trying to sleep.
It all ended when the train arrived at the station, where my followers bought a bottle of vodka — they gave me the whole glass and my not sleeping well kicked in, I just blacked out. When I woke up a couple of hours later, surprisingly, some of them were still there… But I have realized that we are not hippies and there is no meadow…
Making people have wrong expectations isn't exactly a sin, I do realize that now, but I still feel guilty, when that happens.
