(From the Jargon File) [MS-DOS] Of a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) IBM PC program, such as the N pop-up calendar and calculator utilities that circulate on BBS systems: unsociable.

One particularly common form of rudeness is lock-up due to programs fighting over the keyboard interrupt. See rude, also mess-dos[?].
