I agree with the stuff about accountability but what kinds of recruiters have you been dealing with?
As a developer, I feel like I'm the one who is rude and not the other way around. These days they're lucky if I even pick up the phone.

In the case I get an offer from either I will quit before I even start coming to work, and I take personal issue with that. Despite this I know I have to do it in my own self interest. Its infuriating to think I am having trouble with this morale quandary when I doubt any recruiter would care a fraction as much about me as a candidate.
One time, I kept telling the recruiter that I needed more time to consider her offer and then after 1 week she called me and blatantly told me "Sorry someone else took the contract, you had to be faster".
I knew she was lying so I came back to her 1 week later and told her that I would take her contract if it was still available (even though she had told me it wasn't the week before) and she offered it to me on the spot and made up some excuse as to why it was suddenly available again.
I don't blame them though. They serve the company first and you second.
