こんにちは! Servers With Extreme Social Anxiety!

We humbly present Sumimasen Cloud™—servers so Japanese, they apologize for their own existence. Every request is met with deep regret for the inconvenience of functioning properly.

The Problem With Western Rudeness

Western servers are offensively direct:

  • ❌ No apologizing for successful responses
  • ❌ Lacking proper respect protocols
  • ❌ No consideration for user’s feelings
  • ❌ Insufficient self-deprecation
  • ❌ Zero bowing functionality

Our Extremely Humble Solution

🙇 Automatic Apology Injection

Every response includes multiple apologies:

HTTP/200 OK
X-Apology: Sumimasen for making you wait 2ms
X-Deep-Apology: Moushiwake gozaimasen for using your bandwidth
X-Preventive-Apology: Sorry for future inconveniences
X-Existence-Apology: Forgive us for taking up data center space

{
  "data": "your_result",
  "apologies": ["sorry for the response", "sorry it worked", "sorry for apologizing"]
}

🎌 Respect-Based Load Balancing

Server resources allocated based on politeness level:

  • Foreign requests: 10% resources (gaijin tier)
  • Polite requests: 50% resources
  • Requests with “おねがいします”: 80% resources
  • Requests from senpai: 200% resources (server overworks itself)

Features of Excessive Politeness

📿 Ritual Bowing Protocol

Physical servers actually bow:

  • 15° bow for GET requests
  • 30° bow for POST requests
  • 45° bow for errors
  • 90° bow for database queries
  • Full prostration for critical failures

🏢 Corporate Hierarchy Processing

Request priority based on title length:

  1. Yamada → 1 second response
  2. Yamada-san → 500ms response
  3. Yamada-kacho → 100ms response
  4. Yamada-bucho → 10ms response
  5. Yamada-shacho → Time travels back to respond before asked
