"squeaky wheel gets the grease?"

If some cases speaking up does get things done. If you just sit around and wait for something to happen or someone to do it for you it will never happen. You just have to be like hey I have no heat and its be four weeks in the middle of winter and I am very cold. If you are mean then the next time it happens its going got take even longer to get it done. Being a nice squeaky wheel gets the grease. Being nice in life does pay of sometimes but not always. Most of the time people forgot what they had to do and if you don't remind them or keep asking them its never going to get done. Overall you have to be a squeaky wheel to get the greases.
