Is it bad karma to do this?

I work at a place with a lot of rude, bossy people. I hate when people keep talking at me and trying to rush me so I started faking being partially deaf. I feel kind of guilty but it actually works great. I tell people "you need to look at me so I can read your lips" and then they stop acting like total assholes because they feel sorry for me.
Part of me feels bad doing it but part of me doesn't see why they should treat me crappy when they think Im NOT deaf? Since Ive been doing this I feel a lot less stressed, is it really that bad of a thing to do?

    'The customer is always right'. It doesn't matter if you are serving a $3.00 coffee or captaining a boat leased out at 20k a day; people can just be shitty. I really don't think you should be in any position to deal with people if you can not put up with the shit they choose to lay on you. I'm not saying that it's right for customers to be rude to servers and the like, but that is human nature.

    What if you were already working through bad karma by having to deal with rude and inconsiderate people?

    If that takes away the stress then I think it's worth it. You don't hurt anyone, although it's still a lie. I hope one day you can find a job where you won't have to fake anything!

    It could come back and bite you in the ass, yes, such as if you see some of these people somewhere else or they happen to know someone you know, etc. But it's also quite funny.
