      Ah, so you’ve never had a job as a subject matter expert speaking to a member of the general public i.e. GP, Pharmacist, Mechanic, IT Technician, etc.?

        Every goddamned day:

        Me: I think I see the problem here ma’am, it appears you haven’t updated your phones software in (checks notes) literally forever.

        Her: no… I don’t think that’s the problem. Can’t you just adjust the towers?

        Me: (quietly dies inside a little)

        You dont need to be an expert.

        People have no idea about the complexity and scale of the world. Just how complicated the logistics chain for something like Kentucky Fried Chicken is… “hOw DoEs A cHiCkEn ShoP rUn OuT oF ChIcKeN!?!”

        Like… real fucking easy.

        Man, I once got asked to help someone pick out a decent laptop. They ignored everything I said and got whatever they wanted.

        I don’t care what they picked. I was upset that my time was completely wasted.

          I don’t think the person you’re responding to was saying that the person who got banned from their GP was the subject matter expert. I think you’re both saying the same thing and you’re definitely both right, this person (screenshotted in the OP) is a total moron 😂

      The best is when you are a consultant, as people will actually bring you in at great expense or fly in from around the world to disregard your opinion.

      Now I just go on Lemmy to get my opinion about those same things (and others) disregarded from the comfort of my toilet.

        I mean, I can’t imagine that someone would spend enough money to fly in a consultant just to ignore them. I don’t think that actually happens.

    I was never threatening or intimidating

    Bet they spoke in that calm psycho Karen voice and made veiled threats. These people think that if you don’t shout and don’t make direct threats that you can say anything to a person.

      Man if I went to the doctor’s office and started giving unsolicited fashion advice to fellow patients they would can my ass too.

      Giving unsolicited medical advice to fellow patients is just asking for it.

    absolutely wild that they closed the letter without so much as a best regards or even a yours faithfully

    I’d never recover from that.

    You have been issued enough medication

    No, I don’t think antivaxxers were.

    It’s always intimidating talking to a clearly unhinged person. If they’re a stranger, you don’t know whether they will resort to violence if provoked. You only know they don’t observe regular social conventions.

          That was actually a very good thing. Maybe it seemed a bit mean but it taught many vaccine hesitant people why they should get it. Not like obnoxious antivaxxers but just people being misled and not knowing what to do. Saved some lives.

            I absolutely read it with that intent. Watching sovcits, homeschooled ‘grajiates’ and people rocking the Covid starter kit without a hint of irony was both enlightening and hilariously troubling.

    According to the COVID time anti vaccine aficionados, we should all be dead by now.
