Each week of 2017 we present an English idiom.
“the squeaky wheel gets the grease”: the person who complains the loudest or the most will get the most attention or the best service; nur wer am lautesten schreit, wird gehört
Example 1: A: You always get the best customer service — how do you manage to do that?
B: You know what they say: “the squeaky wheel gets the grease”.
Example 2: I hate writing so many emails of complaint to the company, but I really need some help. In other words, I’m becoming a squeaky wheel.
