My daughters are, as a rule, amiable to others -- just like me.

Well, seriously.

I, at work, am very amiable.

I am convinced that I could write a whole column on the subject of "Amiability as a Strategy.

-----

It was at a part-time job where my daughter used to work that she had a problem with a senior customer who sent her an email.

Apparently, the man sent her a long email describing "my illustrious past".

She was having trouble coping and the consultation fell to me.

My daughter was being sociable with the customer in her 'business', but the customer came to think that she was being sociable with him in her 'favor', and -- well, this is a story that seems to be everywhere, not just with seniors.

Senior who wants to tell his "old saga" instead of his "current self" - this is probably the No. 1 case of harassment against young people at a drinking party.

But at the same time, it is a familiar story to me.

-----

As you know, I write and publish quite a huge amount of text every day.

And I am abusing the link (quote) of this text in emails and documents.

Although this is an act of 'I want to convey my thoughts from the past, with no explanations,' I think it is harassment enough for the reader.

-- well, readers can skip the link, so still less culpable than the senior above.

So I have ignored the fact.

Still, there is no difference in 'I want to talk about my past.

Let's admit the fact that I, am also a "senior who wants to tell the 'saga of the past'".

Seniors are poor creatures.

But I don't ask you to understand.

Because eventually you will understand.

Now, in troubleshooting the above, I instructed my daughter to send the following email.

====== Email text from here ======

Regarding your email, I discussed this with my father who is in charge of the IP department at his company.

He warned me that "Known or just in a situation where I could know, will make me involve in violation of the Personal Data Protection Law (rightful offender), and Possible penalties"

I apologize to you, however I have just erased all your emails I have received.

I would appreciate it if you would refrain from sending us any such e-mails in the future.

====== Email text to here ======

This one seems to have been completed successfully since then (I have not heard a report).

Well, on the back end, the picture of her father, who has worked with an acquaintance in the IP department (with whom I have worked), standing proudly behind her -----

I think the this was a great threat (fear), that would have been enough to destroy the "old saga" harassment.
