Me : “Elliot, the trash is full again…”
Elliot : “Give me a break, ok? Please contact the janitor, not me…”
Me : “You know, you did a good job that day. I can see that you’re quite gifted in taking out the trash… maybe you should pursue a career out of it. You have good prospect in that direction…”
Elliot : “No please, leave me alone”
Me : “And you looked very smart when you took out the trash that day. I almost couldn’t recognize you.”
Elliot : [ignore mode]
Me : “You know, when you’re old someday, you don’t have to go for plastic surgeries to look young. You just need to take out the trash, you’d turn smart and young immediately… ain’t that cool? You should take out the trash dude…”
Elliot : [ignore mode]
I just couldn’t get that Jedi mind trick to work on Elliot. That tells me one thing – he doesn’t have a fucking brain.
Michael,
can the jedi mnid-trick work to get a colleague to shut-the f**k up cos he is spewing shit from his mouth..adn causing confusion to others in the meeting? have a good weekend!
well, there’s one thing that’s even better than a jedi mind trick in situations like this – skip the darn meeting. That’s what I always do at Company X. Skip meetings. Yeah.
leave at the trash at his desk
You need to upgrade you’re jedi mind trick level!
