Guy: Hey, sweetie can you grab me a beer?
Waitress: Sure, but you shouldn't call me a sweetie, when I work I am not so sweet.
Guy: What should I call you then? bitch? Hey, bitch can you grab me a beer!?!
The waitress was just about ready to chuck the pint into his face, then instead gave it to the guy next to him who also ordered a beer, she ignored him for the rest. I chuckled.
Maybe, I should do some approaches and use openers that will give me guaranteed 'up yours' reply. I mean its not much game, but understanding how people react to different things could prove useful. After all, I believe it is in the japanese game Go that they say you have to lose 100 times before you can start winning.

I don't see the use in that; you're going in with the mindset of getting shot down. Is that a skill you really want to learn? Try pushing and pushing some more until you find the line. I think you will learn the most from that.
Kind of like driving a car you never drove before around a sharp turn, you don't floor it and expect to live. You take it easy at first and build up from there until you figure out the limits. I don't know if that makes sense but it sounded good lol. So yes you will find the boundaries by exceeding them but go at it with the approach of trying to get as far as you can, not to directly get shot down.
