Tokyo professionals are so easily irritated
Not really asking anything here. More of an observation/rant.
I don't live in Tokyo, but I occasionally have to work with professionals in Tokyo for various complex things (think international taxation or law, as an example).
Compared to professionals that I work with in Kyushu/Kansai/Tohoku, Tokyo people feel far more easily irritable. They just seem to be "on the brink" a lot more often. aka 余裕がない.
For example : One morning I might send a perfectly normal email. Expecting a perfectly normal reply. And it would hit them at the wrong day & wrong time and I'd get a passive aggressive message back with absolutely no provocation at all.
I have pretty good way of dealing with this. I usually just call them and let them know that wasn't cool. And they immediately back off because they seem to be unable to handle actual confrontation. But the whole thing just seem so unnecessary.
