But... the thing i've noticed both in games and out, many people, not all of course, but many, actually remember more often when you're an asshole to them. I'm not advocating that, but it's something i've noticed. Some people are like "yeah yeah ok" when you explain something normally, then forget later. You then berate them about it and they keep remembering you were an asshole to them and that likely triggers WHY you were an asshole to them.
I mean that's true, if you're an asshole to them about it they're more likely to be like "Ugh this person's being a complete ass." than they are to be like "UGH /RAGE. Oh why'd I get mad again? BECAUSE THIS PERSON TOLD ME HOW TO PLAY MY CLASS. Oh well maybe what they told me is goods so I'll look at it." I highly doubt they're gonna get to that stage. They're just gonna remember the fact you were an ass.
