were not laid back and casual enough to suit someone else that they were being polite enough. If you've had any experience with emergencies and crowd control, you know command pitch is called for.

Working in healthcare for quite a few years, I saw some emergencies myself, and people usually told me later that they had no idea I could bark orders like a drill sergeant, because I'm a tiny little woman and usually so soft spoken. But honey doesn't work in those situations. You have to command and mean it, not give contrarians time to stand around and quibble until all is lost.
