Oh, I thought that gene was Irish. Best way to get me to do something is to forbid it. I started flossing the day they stopped recommending it.

- logfromblammo 8y agoCould be both. I have some Irish ancestors, too, and in the same subtree as the Scots. I have a reverse psychology detector, though, so if you forbid something in an attempt to get me to do it, I'm then more likely to be stubbornly obedient in whatever way I have determined would punish you most for attempting to deceive me. Nagging me about something I was already planning to do is the worst, though, because that means I have to delay doing it until it is apparent I'm not doing it just because you told me to.
