Admire my restraint!
The supervisor I want to use as a pinata just told me to smile.
I did not kill him. I was reasonably civilized in my response. I did not give him a lecture on how he is an ass who is not entitled to a smile or anything else from me.
I also refrained from hitting him when he said: "I was just trying to be polite!" as though I was some kind of shrieking harpy.
I did not tell him that ordering me to smile as though I somehow owe him my goodwill is not polite, but condescending and chauvinistic.
On the whole, I think I did pretty well.
