How does this relate to the practices of other societies?
- jareklupinski 3y agoi'm curious now, can you tell me specifically which societies are immune to basically the human equivalent of a DDoS?
- MichaelZuo 3y ago'Immune' and 'human equivalent of a DDoS' are pretty extreme conditions, far from what I had in mind, but even in that case there's at least one well known example, North Korea.
- mcpackieh 3y ago> I get the impression that post office staff quickly become jaded from being nagged about packages, especially by elderly people. After all, the elderly don’t have to work, so they can come to the post office every day and ask insistently for packages they know are on the way, but haven’t yet arrived. So, by the time you went there with your problem, any last bit of good customer service had been burnt out of the clerk.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoYes I read the parent comment when I replied. How exactly do your comments relate to my prior comment?
- nullc 3y agoI probably shouldn't have even said abusive in my post-- it's not actually the operative part. It's sufficient that the customers are frequently wrong. I think I'd also say that abusive from the perspective of the recipient isn't a bright line and you'd be hard pressed to find a culture in the developed world where the misguided interactions don't begin to feel somewhat abusive to the recipient after dealing with them day after day. Of course, there is also outright abuse that is tolerated in the US and probably ought not be which only makes the matters worse.
