"a{" selects the nearest {...} block to the cursor. You can see the
effect if you type "va{".

Leaning over their shoulders while they're coding and saying "you could
do that in three lines with Perl" often does the trick. Or you could

editing. How ... quaint."
Giggling every time you walk past them works too.
