>It builds relationship, it builds confidence, it makes the person feel appreciated

unless they see through you, and realize you actually didn't trust them to do it at all. that feeling really sucks.

It makes them think that you are a manipulating douche.

Not a life pro tip. It's a manipulative tactic that anyone above the age of 15 can see through. The tip here is to be the opposite. Ask someone politely to do something and be genuine and thank them. Also be sure to reciprocate the favors.

A better life pro tip would be to genuinely thank people for doing nice things for you and every once I'm a while bring something up nice they did that you are still thankful for. Genuinely expressing appreciation, and reminding them that they are important to you.

No. This is awful. As everyone else is saying, it’s passive-aggressive and manipulative.

Bla, bla, bla, please and thank you.

I hear that I take pleasure in rebutting with a responding no.

This post is absolute nonsense.

LPT: dont do this shit.

nagging people and expecting other people to do tasks around the home on YOUR schedule is a great way to get stabbed in the eye.

want the real LPT?

be a grown up, and speak to people. communicate your expectations and needs, come up with a game plan that everyone agrees to. then follow through on it. that includes not being a passive aggressive jerkoff looking for a fork in the eye

No. I have a family member that does this, and I want to beat the fuck out of them every time they do it.

Wow this is awful. Manipulative passive aggressive bs. Not just the advice itself but the fact that you would want people to follow this as a life hack.
