verbal judo lesson #1

Eleven things not to say:

1. come here
2. you wouldn't understand
3. because those are the rules
4. it's none of your business
5. what do you want me to do about it?
6. calm down!
7. what's your problem?
8. you never.../you always
9. I'm not going to say this again
10. I'm doing this for your own good
