Don't get bent out of shape.

HOW TO USE

Speak as Nick
Speak as Megan
Nick: I would like you to redo this report.

Megan: What's wrong with it?

Nick: There are some typos, the wording is strange in some places, and it should be a little more professional.

Megan: That's ridiculous. What are you talking about? The writing is fine. I can't believe that you are coming to me with this trivial criticism. You are a terrible writer too. So, you shouldn't be criticizing anyone else's writing.

Nick: Don't get bent out of shape. I wasn't trying to insult you. I just feel like you can do better.

Megan: Fine! Give it to me.

Nick: Please do not take this personally. Just edit and improve the report.

Megan: I said fine. I'll get it back to you by the end of the day.

Nick: Thank you.
