Power moves are simple things you can do to assert your superiority, for example you might explain something really obvious to people to imply they're all dumber than you. Some people might read this and assume this is a guide for men, but I want to be very clear here, these are proven techniques that work for anyone. Hell, these might even work BETTER for women. POWER MOVE #1: The off menu order This is incredibly impressive on a date or a business lunch, and it's really simple. Take them to a place you go to all the time and order something you know they don't have. The trick here is that you DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. Take this as high as you can, if the store manager refuses demand to talk to the regional manager. Note: It's incredibly important you have scouted out this place thoroughly, I once ordered a hamburger at Olive Garden without realizing they now have hamburgers and I was mortified. POWER MOVE #2: King of the hill When you first meet the father of your S.O. (that means significant other) it's important to establish dominance quickly, but patience is rewarded. Wait until the right moment and trip him, as he hits the ground you should already be kneeling on his back. Do NOT let him up until he starts crying. POWER MOVE #4: Confident counting Skip a number when counting, if anyone calls you on it flip the table over and walk out of the room backwards without breaking eye contact.

Repeat everything the other person says. If they say "stop it" repeat that too. If they say something insulting to get you to repeat it change the pronouns so the sentence is about the os (original speaker).

Here's a two-for-one: dribbling just a tiny amount of urine around the areas you frequent will spread your pheromones and keep your lessers at bay. If you're in heat it might also attract potential mates -- reject the first one for a very petty reason.

Correct someone without acknowledging they ever said anything. Just be like, "As we all know, Pokemon was originally released in 1996" and never even look in their direction.

I've walked out of a couple of movies and every time it feels strangely liberating. Also leaving concerts if say, the band is having a bad night and one are more of the members are too hosed up to perform like at all.

-Send your coworkers on errands. Bonus if the errands are pointless. Examples: ask someone to go to the lunchroom refrigerator and move your lunch from the second shelf to the third shelf. Ask someone to dump out your coffee in the "good bathroom" on the third floor. Go up to them with a stapler and punch out a bunch of staples, and tell them to deliver these staples to the janitor. Casually refer to each of your coworkers as "errand boy". Only do it when you're alone with them so they think they're the only one you call that.

If you just want to find yourself a date, find someone really, really, really nerdy-looking and ask them if they are an INTJ. The power move is showing them your incredible horoscope skills.

Tip posted:Correct someone without acknowledging they ever said anything. Serious answer, this was something that a guy who was in a super high managerial position in Petrobrás (a big rear end oil company at the time) said without a hint of irony: If you're in a heated argument just pretend the other person isn't saying anything, if it's a phone call (this was a long long time ago) mute it and just speak over at your own pacing. Also that guy made a ludicrous amount of money and was a huge piece of poo poo, but there you go. Elentor fucked around with this message at 08:29 on May 24, 2020 |

Show up to the office an hour early and move your desk and computer into the bathroom. If anyone enters just scream, "I CAN'T HELP YOU RIGHT NOW I'M IN A MEETING!" After a couple days replace the bathroom sign with one that says "Vice President of Strategic Operations".

I maintain expressionless eye contact, never uttering a word, until they look away like the dogs they are. You can do this in any situation to assert your dominance.

Re power move #4 I did this irl for years: I bartended at a busy lounge for a decade; I suck at math. On Friday and Saturday nights there was a line at the bar 5 people wide and 5 deep for 3 or 4 hours. Half the time they would be ordering for a table. You whip out their drinks, (I had a trick pour gimmick move that ROCKED yay) round the prices up and down to a whole dollar amount in your head in one tenth of a second, add 25 or 50 cents to that, say it with complete confidence and they hand you the money. PERIOD. At the till I'd ring that amount as open liquor 23.50 or we Saved SO much time, no one ever caught on. I did it cocktailing too. On the blue moon where I was questioned, rattle the real prices off and adjust the last one to make the total correct. It wasn't about ripping anyone off it was a time saver. If you want to steal you just don't ring it up at all. We made so much money that that was fairly rare.

Road rager power move: donning over the ear style hearing protection to get someone to gently caress off. Barista power move: six drinks at a time on two double group machines and getting everything perfect.

PERIOD. I've done this but by accident, no one had told me how much things cost or where the price list was (it was on the counter) Someone complained and I was asked to leave, I didn't work there from that day onward Or any other day really I was just a patron
