I didn't ask

A shortened way of saying, "You may only speak to me when I give you direct permission to do so."

This phrase is usually only most effective if the user is of higher authority than the targeted person. Otherwise, the targeted person could respond with "I didn't either" in which both persons should halt speaking with each other as continuing on would be immature.

Why not ask for help?

Because you can just you can just do what I told you to in relationship to the problem THAT I OUTLINED EXPLICITLY AND NOT THE ONE YOU WANT TO HELP FUCKING "PEOPLE" WITH.
Hym "Why not ask for help? Because you don't actually give help. That isn't a thing I can get from you. All I'm currently getting is bloviating about what 'people' want and I am not fucking 'people' am I? So no. I'm not going to grovel at your feet. You and your entire profession are the worst conceivable people because at least you're kind of allowed to kill the murderers and rapists. And don't say this is 'manipulation' because I don't actually care what you do in response to this. I'm just going to find a kid to kill and kill myself. None of this matters."
