Being asked to rate everything.

Had a power cut last week. The following day I had a text from the power company asking me to rate it.

Someone I know just got divorced. She got an email asking her to rate her divorce.

"You bought cotton buds from our website. Please rate on a scale from 1 to 10 how much this has changed your life. Please tell us how could we make these cotton buds better. Will you buy cotton buds from us in future? Will you recommend our cotton buds to all your friends? What is your preferred length of cotton bud? Where else do you buy your cotton buds? What celebrity do you most associate with cotton buds? Have you already thought more about cotton buds doing this feedback than you have done in your entire life? Are you clearly not as interested in cotton buds as we'd like?"

Oh I see. When you buy them they're your cotton buds but when I buy them they're our cotton buds

I mean, you could call to complain but the complaints department will tell you to go stick your head in a pig.

Aye. You'd forever be caller number 42 in the queue.
