Well that <synonym for what a vacuum cleaner does>!
I was going to send them a nasty gram but “no-reply@amazon.com”! Which <synonym for having produced urine output> me off even more.
What do you do “if you need further assistance” when you get a web page FAQ or some AI chatbot?

FROM TBBT:

Howard: “Go away.”
Sheldon: “Huh. It can’t be a coincidence. There must be some causal link I’m missing.”

Yet, every body seems to want me to spend my time, attention, effort, and dikw ❶ to answer their dumb survey questions.
‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!… You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: [screaming at the top of his lungs] “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!” — the character Howard Beale played by Peter Finch in the movie Network (1976)
Being ignored can trigger deep emotional pain because it threatens your basic need for connection and belonging. BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), it is just RUDE.
Some cognitive reframing can also be helpful.
In this case, the corporation has lost my “goodwill” and I no longer believe their “promised” delivery date.
At the very least, AMAZON should have told me WHY they had to cancel the order and deliver it tomoorow at no charge with a sincere apology.
Like that’s ever going to happen.
Argh!
“Please do not reply to this message. This is an automatically generated notification.”
To me, translates to:
Howard: “Go away.”
Sheldon: “Huh. It can’t be a coincidence. There must be some causal link I’m missing.”
I’m sure I didn’t agree to be sent “worthless” messages that clutter my inbox, divert my attention, waste my time, and cost me extra effort. That not to mention innumerable electrons globally transmitted and stored in countless places. Argh!
Guilty parties — “Do not reply to this message, as replies go to an unmonitored mailbox.” — Optum, AT&T, UHC, EZPASS, … … … … <more coming as I see them, Argh!>
