Brand new manip

A brand new manipulation!

Here's a simple one:

The "Reverse" Manipulation

You ask someone to do something, but with a twist. You say something like:

"Can you do the opposite of what I'm asking you to do?"

For example:

You: "Can you please turn off the TV?" Person: "Okay, I'll turn it on instead."

Or:

You: "Can you give me your phone?" Person: "Okay, I'll take it away from you instead."

This manipulation works because people tend to follow instructions, even if they're asked to do the opposite of what they think you want. It's a fun and harmless way to play with language and expectations!
