Nobody likes to get leaned on. That’s a given. Be it a pushy teacher, a complaining spouse
or an ultimatum from the boss, when anyone tries to push any of us around, we
tend to push back. What else can we
do? Human nature being what it is, being
leaned on is something that all of us have had to deal with from time to time. We may not like it, let alone agree with it,
but we all know that once someone has a little leverage over us, they’re apt to
use it. In the real world we call
someone like this a bully. In the legal
profession, they’re called lienholders.
