Jedi Mind Tricks

I have many conversations on the phone every day.  One thing I have quickly learned is how to take control of the conversation and it's quite funny.  When I'm transcribing orders nurses just like to blurt everything out fast as they can so I always ask them questions in order I want the information and when I'm asking questions it gives me time to write.  The funniest thing though, and this goes back to my "parrot talk" blog article a while back, is that people almost always say the same thing you say in either greeting or closure.  I swear I could say "fuck you, enjoy your day" and they would reply the same thing.  No matter what I say, or how I change my phrase of closure they almost inevitably repeat it back.  It kinda reminds me of the Jedi mind tricks that Obi-Wan would do on Star Wars. I can say what I want them to say and the just repeat it back.  It's so funny.
