I get the gentle ones at work all the time. I'd like to have someone violently remind me of something one time just to see what it's like.

    I just watched a political thriller that had plenty of violent reminders.

    I doubt you want that.

    Gentle reminders at my work the past months: sign this company policy change that unilaterally changed your benefits with no upside for you, please. (Or you will be in trouble)

    Mafia and dealers only work in violent reminders.

    Kneecaps. Fingers. Finger nails. Knife to the nostril. Lots of options.

    Along those lines: If somebody sends a "friendly reminder," you know that they had the unfriendly kind in mind. Otherwise, they'd just send a reminder.

    I'm pretty sure violent reminders are served via the kneecaps

    Tax is a gentle reminder. or should be. The alternative includes blades and baskets. The 1% should remember this.

    I sent a coworker a "friendly reminder ... fore some issue..., now don't forget, lest I will have to give you unfriendly reminders as well".

    I had the pleasure of giving him an unfriendly reminder later (for something else), where I threatened to tell his mom.

    Violent reminders do exist. They're called "spanking"

    Sam Kinison was the violent reminder. Nobody could do it as well as he did so we don't use it anymore.
