A couple of my cats like to scratch my wife's favorite chair.
I've tried speaking to them nicely.
They only seem to react when yelled at.
Seems to get their attention a bit quicker.
Instead of resorting to regaling you with the boring details of my life let's just say its experiences have left me with an incredibly low tolerance for bull**** and stupidity.
I have found, YMMV, that people doing stupid **** will far more often back down in the face of a strong unambiguous expression of my feelings towards said behavior than react aggressively.
The few who do react aggressively where going to react that way regardless of whether or not I was "nice".
Works for me, again, others mileage may vary.
