There’s a Secret Posture to Always Get What You Want . . . the Kindly Brontosaurus

We're going to tell you about a secret posture today that you can use to get whatever you want, whenever you want it.  So don't tell anyone else, okay?  Here's how it works

Approach the person you're asking for a favor like, say, the airline employee at the desk.  Give your name, and make your request.  If they say no, smile and say, "Well, I'm sure we can find a way to work things out."

Then stand off to the side in their peripheral vision,lean forward a little, clasp your hands in front of your stomach, smile and never stop looking at their face!

Don't speak unless they ask you a question.  Nod enthusiastically whenever the person says something to someone else.

Eventually, they'll help you because you look nice, friendly, respectful, non-threatening . . . but also super annoying and a little creepy.

A body language expert nicknamed the pose "kindly brontosaurus" because you're kind of craning your neck and holding your arms like a brontosaurus.
