Communication is Key

The next person who addressed this letter to a neighbor communicated in a way that would avoid conflict: by using a Harry Potter Reference. The sender of the note wrote “I understand you’re half giant, but could you try to be a little more light-footed?” In reference to the novels written by J.K. Rowling and the movies, Hagrid is the giant character who became one of Harry’s closest friends.

If the request of the neighbor from downstairs was worded in a different manner, then the outcome may perhaps turn out bad. Good thing the writer made investments in the Harry Potter novels! Communicating your neighborly requests in a unique way can surely turn the situation in your favor.
