Irritating People
There are so many people in the world that there are bound to be many that irritate you. Everyone has so many different personalities that not everyone will necessarily get along. What are you to do when someone irritates you but you know that they are just trying to be helpful? Do you suck it in patiently cause they are doing a nice thing? Or do you tell them to shut the F#$@ up?
What if the person has been so nice and helpful that you start to think that they are actually trying to irritate you on purpose? Do you think people are like that? I think there are people out there like that. How do you know who they are?
How about people that you meet that you think are too bossy for their own good? I think I actually don't mind them as long as they don't try to boss me around. God, some people should just take a hint. Suggestions from people are just suggestions and that's why God gave us a mind to decide on what we want to do. Please don't push your opinions, suggestions onto me. If you have an opinion, just say it once, people will note the suggestion and then decide for themselves as to whether they will follow or go their own way...what could be more irritating than someone pushing their suggestions on you by repeating them day after day even after you've told them that you are not going to follow it. Especially when you never even asked for their advice in the first place. Get a life...not mine!
As personalities don't match, what do you do? Ignore them? Don't answer their phone calls? Tell them to get lost? Shouldn't they have the same vibe too that you're personalities aren't in line?

What I generally do in these situations is be agreeable on the outside (leaving no room for conflicts).. but know that on the inside I am ultimately the one who is right!
I think you should just let them say their thing and leave you alone after satisfying their need to shove their nose in your business. In fact, I feel so strongly about this advice I'm giving you that I'm going to email you a few more times with it, and then I'll call you to drive the point home.
Wow, now you got me curious on who it is.
i think the first thing that I like to recognize is people's intentions. If they mean well (even if theyre irritating) I think it's only fair to recognize they were just trying to help. Sometimes people do "nice" things with malicious intentions so keep that in mind too. If they are really annoying and you just cant stand it, start creating distance. That's what call display is for right? :P Also maybe say things like, that's good advice but not really my style.
