The only thing worse than having to awaken your massively hung-over friend is needing him to then get up, get dressed, and try not be late for an appointment he forgot.

In such situations, I have found that certain facial expressions really help to move things along.

Here they are, in order of most to least effective:
1. Subtle dismay in the mouth with genuine, kind eyes.
2. Heartfelt disappointment with feminine crane of the neck to one side.
3. Resentment as you quietly mouth the word “adult” over and over.

Bonus points if you don’t stop pacing about.
