NO COMMENT

No. I do not wish to rate my latest transaction.

No. I will not take your short survey.

No. I will not help improve customer service by commenting on my experience.

No. I will not remember to go online when I get home and share my thoughts.

No. I will not write a few words about how it was to receive or try your product.

No. I will not tell you if I’ll be recommending your product or services to friends.

No. I will not give any hints on what you could do better.

No. I do not want to earn bonus points or even 5 percent off my next purchase by volunteering a few moments of my time to share my views on the last person who assisted me.

I do not have enough moments left on earth. I need all my moments to try to convince someone I already know to accept my opinion on anything. My child rejects my opinion. Other family members argue with my opinion. Friends act as if they need and agree with my opinion, and then go off and do something completely different. Overhaul their whole lives with no input from me whatsoever. Based on my track record thus far, getting someone I know to appreciate my opinion will take all the time I have left. The rest of you are on your own. I am 100 percent finished spending time giving opinions about anything to anyone else.

And that, I think as I get into bed, is exactly how I feel about all of that.

I lay my head down on my pillow and close my eyes. I’m about to scroll down to Sleep when I pause to open the self-survey of how I think I did today in my mind.

I click the little box on the far right: “Extremely Satisfied.”
