A comprehensive guide for the art of pretending to agree
Pretending to Agree with a Vendetta | Pretending to Agree with a Sadness
Technique 1: The Art of Saying Nothing (and Still Looking Polite)
Pretend to agree with the person, but don't actually commit to anything. This way, you get to appear agreeable without actually having to back up your words with actions. Perfect for situations where you're not quite sure what the other person wants, or where you're just trying to get a rise out of them. Technique 2: The Art of Agreeing with the Person While Secretly Counting Down the Seconds Until You Can Make a Break for It
Similar to the Art of Saying Nothing, but with the added benefit of mentally preparing your escape route. Count down from 10 seconds, then 9, then 8... before you make your great escape!
