[QUOTE="soberups, post: 427691, member: 14668"] Some other "dirty tricks" to utilize during your ride: 1. Insist upon referring to it as a "harassment ride" no matter how often they try to correct you. "Harrassment" is an ugly word that intimidates management, puts them on the defensive, and makes them think of lawsuits. 2. When they first get on car in the morning, look right at them, smile, and ask..."so are you here to cooperate with me on improving things, or are you just going to play with your stopwatch and waste your time trying to harass me into working faster?" 3. Refuse to engage in conversation or even acknowledge anything that they say to you while the vehice is in motion. Inform them that you are too busy trying to drive safely and utilize the Ten Point Comentary while you are driving to focus on anything they are saying. If they insist upon talking anyway, then pull the truck over to the side of the road, secure the brake, turn on the four-ways, look at your watch, and politely ask them to continue. You will usually only have to do this 2 or 3 times before they get the message and shut up. 4. If they are walking ahead of you and they open the door, stand there and allow it to shut. Then open it for yourself and walk through. 5. During pickups a favorite method of mine....and you have to be FAST to pull this one off...is to stop, secure the vehicle and get out of your seat so quickly that they havent even had time to unbuckle or grab their clipboard. I will get right into the sups face and crowd him if he is holding me up and keeping me from exiting the vehicle on the passenger side. This makes them nervous, which causes them to fumble the clipboard and seatbelt even more. I have even politely told them that need them to pick up the pace because they are slowing me down. When leaving, refuse to start the ignition until the sup is buckled in. If he starts getting rattled it will make him fumble with the belt even more, and it will put him on the spot for delaying you.
