"I promise" → "I'm lying and I'm about to screw you over".
"All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." -- Jesus of Nazareth, in His Sermon On the Mount (Matthew 5:37, NIV) |

MalComp should be about improving a bad situation, but revenge always seems to be a collateral effect.
All you have to do is one of the things aspies do best -- just follow orders as they were literally stated, and not as you think (or know) they were actually intended.
