    This is what I tried to get at with taking advantage of your good will. When we order people to do things we often frame it as a question to be polite. “Would you please do X?” So we’re used to hearing questions and just saying “yeah sure”.

      Worse, they’ll phrase it like

      “I’m going to search your car, is that alright?”

      Like it’s a command, and you don’t register that it isn’t in time.
