Chin

Title: Chin



Target audience: Whoever you are involved in conversation with



Offensive threat: Medium



Scheme: This is a good one, not only because "chin" is incredibly annoying, but it serves a purpose as well. Originally, it was used to capture somebodiess attention; over time however, it has been used as a technique to pacify someone who is quite heated (most likely because you have been annoying them). To effectively execute chin, you need the conversation to be at a particular point. Maybe the person you are speaking with is disinterested in what you are saying. That would be a good time to use chin. Maybe somebody is yelling at you, and you've realized you have lost the battle. That would be a good time to use chin. Maybe you are being mugged (which would mostly like mean the person you are talking to is disinterested in what you are saying as well as quite heated). That would NOT be a good time to use chin. Now that the tone is set, here is what you do. Cup your hand, and turn your palm so it is face up. Look at the person, put your hand towards their face, and gently ask, "chin?" Give them a little bit of the puppy dog eyes, to show that you really mean it. Keep your hand there until they calmly rest their chin in the palm of your hand. If they are reluctant to do so (common for a first time annoyee) shake your hand a little bit to impose your will and show them that you are waiting. When they finally agree, you have 2 options depending on your original intent. If you are trying to keep their attention; hold it until you are done with what you want to say. If you are trying to pacify them; wait until they calm down. If you are just trying to annoy them; wait as long as you'd like.



Why it's annoying: For starters, chin is incredibly uncomfortable. Other than strippers, most people don't like others grabbing at their faces. It is also incredibly irritating to the person if you interrupt their ranting and raving with an inquiry for their chin. Satisfaction 100% guaranteed.
