Sometimes you will meet idiots who are technically adults and authority figures. You don't have to do what they say. You can calmly say, 'Can I first call my mom and ask if I have to do this, please?
Mindy Kaling, in her book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?", emphasizes that being an adult doesn't always equate to being wise or correct. People often encounter authority figures who may not have their best interests in mind, and it's important to recognize that their commands aren't always necessary to follow.
Instead of simply complying, Kaling suggests a thoughtful approach: asking to consult a trusted figure, like a parent, before making a decision. This response can help maintain personal integrity while also navigating difficult interactions with confidence.
