Description If you yell and scream at me for an iPhone, I won't give it to you. If you say, "OMG, just do it already!", I won't do it. (No, this is not by sexual means). If you bitch at me or insult me, I will ignore you. I will only treat you with respect if you treat me with respect. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Agreed. No brats, no loud and obnoxious children, and no annoyance.

I agree wholeheartedly. You have to put in the work, since nothing will come to you through complaining. This also applies to those who blackmail and lecture for a personal agenda.

Yeah. Children and even adults should learn that respect is earned.

Besides, wouldn't intentionally stooping that low distort the person's perception of you and make you not get the thing you want? Just some food for thought here, but this what I was considering about bratty and whiny people.
