Not all adults are grown-ups; some are
still children and some adult-size children are obnoxious.
Sadly they can appear anywhere. It may help to understand
that these inconsiderate types can learn to behave if they
realize it is in their best interests to do so.
There are 5 basic things you can do, in this sequence:
1. Try appealing to their sense of reason.
2. Try bribing them.
3. Give them, and you, a time-out.
4. Call in the authorities.
5. Get revenge.
Here are some things you can do that have worked for
others. Keep in mind: as with catching flies, honey usually
works better than vinegar. In other words, kindness can
work better than shouting, threats or punishment.
Appealing to reason.
Bribing them creatively.
Having a Time-out.
Getting the authorities involved.
Getting revenge.
Create legislation
