Get the Lock Assmug. A common rent-seeking practice where vendors design structures and contracts to give them control of customer data and code.
The steps involved in vendor lock-in are:
1) Identify lower-IQ management to engage with
2) Insert clauses into contracts where vendor retains customer data and limit customer access
3) Insert clauses into contracts where code development commissioned by the customer is proprietary to the vendor
4) Say whatever is necessary to ensure customer is at ease with the clauses, but ensure no such record
5) Sell customer's own data back to them, piecemeal
6) Resell the output of the code each time it is run
7) Collect economic profits

Vendor Staff: "The regulators of First Common Bank found evidence of overcharging . First Common needs us to pull account numbers on which customers got hit. I wrote up the query and pulled the data while I was on the phone."
Vendor Mgnt: "That's great. Let's write up a Statement of Work detailing requirements. Put in a long time frame for delivery, like a month or two. We'll price at your annual salary so it looks like we did some math. What is it again, like $127,400?"
Vendor Staff: "We can't charge that."
Vendor Mgnt: "Yes we can. Where else are they getting the data? They don't have it. I personally negotiated the vendor lock-in."
Vendor Staff: "We charged them $127,400 last time."

Get the vendor lock-inmug. An aggressive act where one individual intentionally interlocks their mouth into another person’s mouth and applies maximal biting force. Unlike a traditional kiss, which relies on gentle, consensual lip contact, Mongolian Jaw-Locking involves biting pressure with the intent of teeth being shattered that can cause discomfort or fucked up teeth.
I will Mongolian Jaw-Locking the homeless guy across the street, his teeth will be absolutely shattered.

Get the wiener lockmug. When you are in a relationships that started off rocky, but go threw with it any way. One person is picking up the slack on the expenses more so than the other and the slack picker upper is tired of the lack of communication and responsibility of the other person in said relationship. The couple signs a lease agreement with the landlord, property manager, and land owner, mortgage Co, ECT. Then realize that they are locked into contract for a period of time. The person has been stuck with the bill more than once. Has a higher paying job and goals to provide for a support system w/ out a hand out card from the county to do it. The one person has the stability to succeed, while the other just floats threw with no idea how to even buy it’s own cloths, grandma/pa or parents by them lunch and provide with cloths still at an older age, lives way beyond it’s means no matter how hard the supporter try’s to explain it won’t work unless he/she realizes that a real relationship is not just about the fling, but the effort it takes to provide a stable home. Will usually tell all it’s co-workers and buddies the downs it can to make it self feel above the woman for sympathy to gain attention and another bed to crash in when the slacker won’t stop over spending. Really doesn’t love who it is living with and doesn’t want to come to grips with the fact that the person got into the relationship over the sexual and not the goal oriented reasons for a relationships future Long Term Goal efforts.
Then The goal oriented 1 ends up having to be under budgeted when it comes time for necessity’s i.e. bills, then being obligated to pick up all the tab.
Man, I’m so tired of his/her unorganized, no goal, lazy, obnoxious mouth bull about how stupid other people are and the he/she still has the elder taking care of his/her at this age. I’m lease locked and annoyed.
Insert name here, actually had the audacity to call and say it thinks that your still hung up on an ex, but calls her/him it’s ex’s name on the voice mail several times instead of saying your name, but you’re the one with the problem. That’s rich. Hears an Example:
P1: You need to come to grips with the fact your still in love with your ex. Your still in love and he/she chose to be with some one else and I know you don’t want to be with me The accusers Ex’s name here…it goes on and it’s not pretty.
P2: See who really has the problems in life. Your dragging our life threw the mud, calling me your ex’s name and can’t just grow the heck up. I’m lease locked with you and you treat me like dirt and for the last time play’s the voice mail on speaker for the slacker the only people that will get hurt in this is the kids and you need to come to grips with the fact that it’s time to grow up and get over yourself and might accomplish some thing other than simply running your mouth all day.
