1. Select a person of authority, ideally someone older or of higher social standing. 2. Argue with them over a trivial matter and say something that could damage their social standing in front of those you want to see you as the Alpha male. 3. Quickly leave the situation without offering any resolution. 4. Meet that person privately immediately afterwards and apologise sincerely. (I got carried away etc.) 5. Voilà! You’ve become someone who can challenge authority in front of those who don’t realise you were begging for forgiveness just five minutes after in the parking lot. #fun
