PT: As long as you act like you have authority, nobody questions you. If you're somewhere you're not supposed to be, walk like you know where you're going, at a fast pace. If someone asks you what you're doing, look at them straight faced and say, "I'm sorry, I'm really busy." (self.PsychologicalTricks)

PT: For anyone in customer service, put a mirror behind you at the counter. This way angry customers who approach you will have to see themselves in the mirror behind you and the chances of them behaving irrationally lowers significantly. No one wants to see themselves act like a dickhead. (self.PsychologicalTricks)

PT: If you have a big favour to ask, start by asking smaller ones ahead of time. This is called the foot in the door phenomenon, I believe. If you ask for small things, then work up to big things, people are more likely to say yes than if you start off with a huge favour. (self.PsychologicalTricks)
