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?

To be not rude, all you have to do is be polite.

If a stranger politely asks if you can do them a favor, you don't have to say yes, and you don't even have to ask what the favor is, but to be polite you do have to non-offensively respond to what they said. Like you can just reply "sorry, I'm busy right now" and keep walking on your way

    It's difficult to keep walking when you are sitting and waiting for food.

    I was giving an example, you aren't limited to just that exact response

    I guess i may have been slightly rude for immediate denial of a stranger invading my personal space.
