Quick Hits: Don't Demand

Don't go to someone, whether it be a salesman for your TV, a customer service rep for your bank, or an appliance repair guy and demand: "You're going to fix this now!!!1!!11One"

Not only will you get a redirect to someone who is likely more willing (or paid better) to listen to your shit and still tell you "No, Ain't Happenin'", you will get mocked behind your back after your encounter is finished.

Some people like to choose the douche-of-the-week approach, but the old saying applies: You attract more flies with honey than berating them and making the bees want to collectively punch you in the groin.

And I love that picture. I may have to use it more often.
