What should I do? 

The "LeBron James" approach, popularized by South Park. Used in tricky situations or troublesome conversations.

DAD: "Donavan, I saw a packet of white powder in your room--"

DONAVAN: "What should I do? Should I admit that I've made mistakes? Should I remind you I've done this before? What should I do? Should I tell you I'm not a role model? Should I accept my role as the villain? Should I stop listening to my drug dealer? He's my drug dealer! Maybe I should just... disappear."

DAD: "...I'm going to go make some toast."

SCORE!

What should I do? 

What a person says when they embarrassed themselves on a national scale, and are too vain to actually say "I'm sorry".

That guy who said "What should I do?" knows that he made an ass of himself...

If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not? 

Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...

JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"

Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."
