I needed to read this.
I am trying very hard to not react to some who enjoy pushing my buttons and realize that like my last post states...I need to push the off button more on my computer. It translates to real life, we face these issues and usually my response is the middle finger, it needs to morph into ignore and then maybe in time the pay it forward part. Right now though I would probably flick him off and tell him where to shove it but ..work in progress ;/
