Zoey being rude isn't the problem.
All the rival characters, Gary, Drew, Harley, Paul, etc. are "rude." That's what made those four all great characters, among what else they brought to the show.
The problem is Zoey just repeats the same stuff every time she appears, there's no real depth to the character. Plus the writers are showing her quite a lot, so I can see why people want her to be toned down a bit.
