Between me and the man as part of a conversation on many topics:
Me: well, maybe you should have gone to a military academy when you were younger.
Him: i could have gone. i had a full ride scholarship. but, i don't like that kind of rigor.
Me: what do you mean? you are methodical and detailed even in the way you eat AND you like to follow rules.
Him: True, but they are too rigid and I don't like to take orders or be bossed around.
Non-verbal: Me trying to adjust the blanket we are sitting on in the living room
Me: Get up and move your feet
Him: Ok
Non-verbal: He gets up and moves
Me: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Yes, I typically say please, but I couldn't help myself considering the situation. So much for the man thinking he can't be bossed around. (-: Luckily, he was a good sport and laughed with me.
