Let's start out with this fact: Annoying people are inevitable. Work colleagues, neighbors, friends and family — you can't hide from them forever. While you might want to give your boss a huge piece of your mind (and he or she could probably really use it), you need to keep your job!

By hating, you are already making a mountain out of a molehill.

Inflation. It's a simple enough concept to grasp, although the economics behind it can be way more complex. Basically, inflation is a continual increase in the prices of goods and services. What was $1 last year could be $1.07 this year and $1.14 the year after that. This results in decreased buying power for consumers, especially if wages do not keep up with inflation.

A study of 133 managers last year by researchers at the University of Massachusetts found that if an auditor is likable and gives a well-organized argument, managers tend to comply with his suggestions, even if they disagree and the auditor lacks supporting evidence.
