So basically what it is is a psychological technique where by you initially make an absurd request and when they say no you hit them with a smaller request (the one you initially wanted anyway)

I used this tactic on my sister recently.

I asked my sister if I could have some of her precooked bacon.

I said sis can I have 3 slices of your bacon.

she said no

so I said oh can I just have 1 slice then.

she said yes.

moral of the story - door in the face technique.

muahahhaahha.

it was delicious btw.

you are right, which is why things are usually negotiated when trying to get what you want but your explanation is just funny
