Japanese term
おごっている
Japanese to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
おごっている。
こちらの、必死さが、わからないでいる。
I have zero context about this. It's just a bunch of comments people made about customer service for software.
The only thing I know about it is that the person had a bad experience with customer service, and I think the person is (probably) referring to an experience with a customer service person on the telephone.
What does おごっている mean?
Thanks, this is driving me nuts... grr

insensitive, inconsiderate
Sure this is a frustrated customer.
In Japanese context, it is very likely such word as おごっている is used to express frustration, but what the speaker really want to address is, not other party's "ogori" attitude, but insensitiveness. That is clearly stated in the next sentence こちらの、必死さが、わからないでいる。
The speaker is truly frustrated because of his/her unwillingness, unthoughtfulness and/or insensitiveness to come up with good solution the customer is seeking with empathy.

Another suggestion.
"not thoughtful", "not considerate" may also work?

: "Arrogant and inconsiderate" is the combination you're looking for, I believe.
