The Sandler Pain Funnel is Bullshit

I think this approach is relatively annoying and unnecessarily elongated. Here's how the funnel follows if you aren't familiar:

Tell me more about that.

Can you be more specific? Give me an example.

How long has that been a problem?

What have you tried to do about that?

And did that work?

How much do you think that has cost you?

How do you feel about that?

Have you given up trying to deal with the problem?

Beyond the "tell me more about that", I think we can reimagine this to something less annoying.

Here's how I'd restructure:

Can you tell me more about this?

Why haven't you done anything about it?

Are you a coward? No? Prove it.

Will you watch me take a shower please?

Let's hear your suggestions on how you'd restructure.
