Web Rage!

February 21, 2002

Web Rage! According to this BBC article, there is now another rage to supplement air and road: web. People claim violent outbursts are not [uncommon]. Mice and keyboards seem to bear the brunt of people's frustration, with 7% admitting to hitting them after a frustrating web experience. A small number, 2%, admitted to hitting workmates to vent their frustration.

I think we've all had our fair share of run-ins with slow loading pages but is this realistic? Also, does 7% seem kind of low to claim that web rage is a problem? Although I do think it's odd that I never get angry with the web like I do with other drivers. Maybe it's because I can't see the foolish sysadmin or the baffoon of a web programmer like I can look into the eyes of a inane driver. (via NextDraft)
