Somebody cuts you off in traffic, so you flip him the bird Your teacher makes a really ridiculous comment in front of your friends so
you yell at him and tell him to leave you alone Your parents won’t let you take the car—again. You stomp off and slam
the door to your room Your little sister keeps asking you to read to her and you don’t want to,
but you decide to do it anyway You feel like you’re being scheduled for too many long shifts at work, but
instead of complaining to your co-workers, you talk to your manager Someone offers you drugs and you say no. Your mom says, “We need to talk,” and you say, “not now,” because you
KNOW it’s going to end up in an argument.
