I admit it. I struggle with anger and frustration on a fairly constant basis. I think most men do although I know its not relegated to just us guys alone. Part of the prevalence might be tied to the fact that its one of the only emotions apart from happiness that men are allowed to feel. Most emotions outside of these two get you made fun of with descriptions like "soft" or "pansy" being hurled your way. So we tend to embrace anger early on and maybe even use it as a one-tone expression of many other emotions like a camouflaged tarp of sorts.

We have all suffered from poor customer service. But do we always take the time to understand the reason and do we even care? Most just feel a sense of injustice and as such a justifiable outrage. Our modern culture has become so consumer focused with the customer always being right that we have lost sight, at times, of those workers who might very well be doing their best. It could be the employee is brand new. It could be their first job and they are just teenagers who lack experience. It could be the store is understaffed and the customers are taking frustrations out on those who actually did show up. Regardless of the situation, we could all benefit from a moment of inward reflection and outward observation.
