If you sit down with someone to help teach them something, you always position yourself on their right side. The natural feeling to this has a neurological/physiological basis, as does the weirdness/dissonance you feel if someone who's trying to teach you something sits/stands on your left.<br /><br />Works both ways though. On more than once occasion I've used the right side Jedi mind trick in conjunction with the hair trick to get what I wanted. Conversations like this:<br /><br />Me: Your hair looks really nice today.<br />Her: You think so? Well, [words follow, but I tune them all out.]<br />Me: Those shoes you just bought? You should return them. They're okay, but you really have too many shoes.<br />Her: What? The shoes?<br />Me: Your hair looks really nice today.<br />Her: You think so? [Blushes. Smiles. Pauses.] I think maybe I should return these shoes.Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834538866855172575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952376.post-23853200639939858512009-11-10T15:32:21.312+00:002009-11-10T15:32:21.312+00:00Yeah...I'll be trying the right ear thing.
