The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
A year or so ago our wealthy cousin had been out to visit my dad. He saw that Dad needed a wheelchair ramp so that my sister could come visit.
He said I am an expert on ramps I will get right on it and build you one. I was talking to my dad last week and he mentioned the ramp and figured after a year it was forgotten. I said dad why don't you send him a text and just politely mention the ramp.
My cousin was mortified. He apologized profusely and was out the very next day with all the lumber and tools. 5 hours later we had a wheelchair ramp. Sometimes you have to speak up.
