The reader / consumer / customer is not a party to any contract. The contract is with the publisher, not with the reader, and surely enforcing the contract is their business. And you're not annoyed about the sanctity of the contract anyway, you're annoyed about not being able to read the book.

Or, you know, annoyed at someone for failing to do their job?

Customers at a restaurant aren't party to the contract between the restaurant owner and its employees, but if the chef never shows up for work they're going to be affected. Only difference is, in that case, the chef would get their ass fired.

Right, it's up to the restaurant or the publisher to deal with. You as the customer wouldn't march into the kitchen and demand the chef be fired for absenteeism.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-25 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, but you can bet they'd kick up a fuss and give shit reviews on social media if they went to a restaurant and weren't served food because the chef couldn't be asked to show their face.

People will raise a fuss about anything on social media; it doesn't mean that they would be right to do so, and I would honestly think it was pretty ridiculous if someone kicked up a fuss on social media because a restaurant was unexpectedly closed.`

If it was closed after being advertised as being open, that's worth complaining over.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-25 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree. If the book was put up for sale and they took money from customers and didn't deliver, customers would have a very valid reason to complain.

you're annoyed about not being able to read the book

You say that like it's an unreasonable feeling only unreasonable, selfish people have.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-26 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody's talking about enforcing the contract, though - that's a clumsy straw man argument. Nor are you qualified to say definitively why other people are annoyed something. It could be that it's as you suggested and they're simply annoyed because they can't read the book. But it's highly disingenuous to act like nobody is ever annoyed or frustrated if they perceive that someone else isn't doing their job properly.
