BAHAHA

Second post about the guilt being an amazing persuasion tactic. Well when I was in the Imperical War Museum in London I noticed a few posters from WWII that said things like. "Don't leave your children in London." "Get them out of here." Naturally my camera died, but I was able to grab a few pictures of the posters. The way they also used the 'scare the crap out of them' tactic was well played as well.

Well, those posters obviously made people think twice about where to put their kids during the blitz and the almost invasion of London. Well, the way that I pulled the guilt-fest was on the way back from Rome. We all know what happened in Rome, but when we were on the way back, we rode on the Gatwick Express train. Which apparently you're supposed to have a ticket for. Well, needless to say, not only did I not have money to afford one...I didn't have one. I got on the train and the woman was going around looking at all the tickets. So, she came to me and I didn't realize you needed a ticket. We used our Britrail passes on the way there, so I figured that would work again...only makes sense.

Well she got to me and she sees my Britrail pass and says that its not for this train. I looked at her, made sure she saw my teeth and my hand and played dumb. Well, I told her the whole story about my debit card and my incident and I could see the guilt in her eyes. She was a sweet lady so she let me slide. But that is definatly the second time I've guilted someone into something that I had to have. Between the colosium paiting and the ride back to Canterbury I've pulled some guilting, cheers to that little girl scout and her quote about making people feel guilty. It really does work!
