The man who stood still in a rush-hour crowd on who’s heel I stepped, which I humbly apologized for, did not return my apologetic gesture in kindness. If a stare could tear one into pieces, this stare would have done the bloody deed. I was sentenced to silence for my wobbly behavior. The judge turned his head before the defense could object. The question remains; what happened that could make us act like we do towards our fellow mammals in public? I rarely think, but when I do, nothing seems to happen, so when I stopped thinking, things came to me;
There comes a moment in time when your parents get sick of being sick of you being around and eating their food and walking in on private moments…or the other way around. You rent the first piece of shit apartment you can afford. You’re nice, innocent, a virgin in life about to be deflowered. By whom? What’s going to transform you into an aggressive antisocial beast? Here’s one…more will follow in time…
Service providers.
Im not trying to imitate Youp..cause it's been in my head a while now and im focussing more on what contact with providers does with ones attitude...

It doesn’t matter what they provide, it’s always something you need so bad you’re willing to pay for it. And when not receiving what you pay for, you will have to fight for it…And you might win, in the end, but it might just have changed you, for the rest of your life.
Seriously, most of us have been in contact with service desks or information desks for as long as we can remember. This means we have been treated like shit by a friendly voice for decades. Ok this might be the point where you think; He’s lost it. Bare with me.
Good morning ´Bad connection´ helpdesk this is Danny speaking. Good afternoon Danny, my internet connection doesn’t work. `Have you tried rebooting your modem?`
This is where Danny already ticks you off. Of course you´ve already tried rebooting the damn modem!!
After insulting your intelligence and excusing himself for the fact that he can´t do more for you than is written in his script, Danny tries to get rid of you and you give up and Danny and the service provider win…again.
You have an appointment you’re running late for so you rush to the train station. Rushing through the station Danny is still in your head, mocking you…while a female voice tells you your train has been cancelled, this puts you to a sudden and complete stop in the midst of a rush-hour crowd just when you feel the back of your heel being stepped on….
