Confronting impossible people (In life and business)
lcordier: I would like to recommend something I call "Sleep Deprivation Psychology". I used it with great success at varsity. ;) Basically if someone irritates the hell out of you, wake him up at 4:00 AM. Whenever he/she is in deep sleep (REM sleep, Theta brain-waves). A rough estimate would be 1/3 or 2/3 of their normal sleep cycle. To wake them, use excessive noise, a fire-cracker works wonders or hammering on metal pots and pans. Done right, they will receive your communication loud and clear.WARNING: This can lead to an arms race, so do your communicating anonymously.
