  1. A Poor User Experience

In a digital world where everything is supposed to be instantaneous, such a disruption in the user experience feels like a betrayal. You feel neglected, even scorned, by the system. This touches on digital dignity: the feeling that your time and money are not being respected.

  1. Delayed Resolution Doesn't Make Up for the Emotion
