Technique 4: The Art of Fuming

Also known as "the passive-aggressive way to get what you want", this technique is perfect for those who can't quite muster the energy to actually do something about their problems.

Here's how it works:

• Stew quietly in a corner
• Allow others to notice your presence (but not too much)
• Make pointed, yet veiled, comments
• Wait for someone else to do the work while you bask in the glow of your own righteousness

Technique 5: The Art of Sarcasm is a more advanced technique, but for those with less... refinement it's worth starting here.

Or, if you're feeling extra feisty, try Technique 1: The Art of Scream-splaining, where the goal is to simply yell at others until they do what you want.

(Note: Results not guaranteed. Side effects may include: Technique 6: The Art of Physical Intimidation, Technique 7: The Art of Anger Management, or simply Technique 8: The Art of Running Away.)
