You should have known something was up when John walked into your apartment - uninvited as usual - with the biggest shit-eating grin you've ever seen on him with one hand behind his back.

"Hello there, love! Remember how you were telling me about your motivation issues the other day? Probably not considering how sleep deprived and out of it you were, but me, being the kindest gent' in the world decided to get you something to help ya out!"

With that, he proudly presents the object behind his back and its... A 1000-pack of gold star stickers meant for fourth graders. John must be able to sense the fact you're about to throw something at him, because he takes a step back, still grinning like a shark but now from a distance.

"C'mon, love! Who doesn't want a good bit of motivation to get up in the morning! Every time you check off a chore on your little list, you get a star sticker, and if you get fifty star stickers over the week, I'll take you out to dinner. Yeah?"
