...are you surprised and angry when it turns and bites your head off?
Or do you accept it with good grace, because you knew that that would happen eventually?

You go crying to mommy. Sheesh.....don't you know the drill?
We are in a society of entitlement. We feel we have "earned" the privilege to pull said tiger's tail. And if said tiget doesn't like it.......we'll that's not fair. Because all that really matters is me anyway.......right???
Wrong! I can hardly blame the tiger tail tugger as much as I can blame the tiger tail tugger's parents. Did you always let him feel he could have his own way? Did you bail him out when he got in too deep? Did you allow him to push and push and push until you snapped? Parents! Come on......a little discipline.....Please!!
Start early with boundaries and guidelines and help your kids grow up to be adults that that don't push the limits to the point of conflict. If you see an adult with this tiger tail pulling mentality, you can bet as a kid..........he was allowed to get away with this.

Pull Tiger Tail

I do believe that's what my mother always referred to as "pushing buttons".....
Apparently, I was always good at this (according to her) or at least I was good at practicing it.
Now that I'm older and much wiser *cough cough* I've learned that the tiger will eventually get PO'd if I keep pulling his tail. Therefore, if I do it anyway, even with the knowledge that HE WILL turn around and bite my head off, well I guess I deserve it then. You reap what you sow.

I have NO idea of the context from which you ask this question. But as a human being, I have to honestly say that when the tiger bit me, I was expecting it, yet I had some sort of satisfaction in the fact that I had gotten away with it a number of times before he did.

One must endure a little pain with all the pleasure, pulling the tiger's tail brings.

when you play with fire, expect to get burned.
I would never pull a tiger's tale.....he is just too quick and big for me to risk that. But anything smaller, sure.....lol.....all in good fun and yes, I am prepared for a snap or a bite

i pushed buttons relentlessly as a child... this usually occurred in elevators... once after entering an elevator with my mother and pushing all the buttons i was kicked by a young woman who said that i had just made her late for an interview... this probably would have cured me of this abhorrent behavior except that when the elevator finally reached the woman's destination my mother tripped her as she tried to exit

I like your logic.
Be an irritant and you're bound to get it back in return.
