COMPANIES HAVE LOST THE PLOT, AGAIN.

Dear Rude People, Stop Positioning YOUR Rudeness as MY Rudeness.

My email is my office. Not a restroom for you to take a crap in.

Why are you giving this to me? I don’t want it. Why are you so cheerful? What the hell have you got to be so cheerful about? You’re going to turn on me any second now, aren’t you? Photo by Antoni Shkraba: https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-and-woman-looking-at-each-other-7345406/

Psychology is now used daily to manipulate us into doing something, and with it, rudeness has become a normal business practice. Good cop, bad cop, directly into your inbox.

Let’s start with the chuggers, the IRL equivalent of spammers, sorry email marketers.

What is a chugger? The charity mugger.

There they are, lurking in the local shopping mall, ready to pounce on anyone not radiating sufficient “If you try and talk to me, I’m going to kill you”.

And why wouldn’t we want to be interrupted for such a worthwhile cause?

Are you one of those evil people who don’t care about the environment?

I can tell you are by the way you’re putting up your hand in that very rude “I’m sorry, but I’d rather put my head through that plate glass window over there than talk to you” way.

We like to think some of the most evil people on the internet are those computer programmers creating all those algorithms.

Wrong.
