Ash Wednesday Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hey Raph, Are you a seminarian? Were you raised Catholic/is your family Catholic? I also read your reply from the "patience" thread -- I guess "jealous" isn't the right word, but it sounds like he resents you. For whatever reason, he feels inferior and threatened by you. I would outfox him in a way where you don't appear to be ignoring him, but he isn't getting attention at the same time. He wants attention, and gets a rise out of pushing your buttons and watching you get mad. If you're parents say "don't ignore him" then state calmly and politely that you aren't ignoring him, but busy with other things, and you can't help him right now. Stay calm, keep it cool. Downplay it all as much as possible. My father used to make me soooo upset, and I would come crying to my mom. She told me to just let it roll like water off the duck's back. If this becomes about "who wins" and "victory" then nothing will be resolved. Nobody will come out the clear "winner." Even if he claims that is the case. Take the example of Christ, and view this as a time to strengthen your faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I was the only girl in my family, and had three older brothers. I developed a short and impatient fuse somewhere along the way, and my friends loved to give me a ribbing about it in high school. I would get so mad, I would break pencils in the classroom. I earned the nickname "pencils" at one point. I wanted people to really know how MAAAAD I was. But I didn't really accomplish a lot, all I got was people to laugh at me, making me feel even more dejected. So I took the calmer, collected route and it proved to be more effective. One time some teacher was making fun of my hair, and my friends were just waiting to see what I would do (they probably thought, "Oh this is going to be good") And when the teacher was finished going on his little hair critique, I simply looked at him and said "Are you finished?" Another incident a friend of mine wouldn't move her feet from where I wanted to sit, and she thought I would just blow up and storm off. But I was just cool about it and said "please" and I don't remember if she moved her feet, I just said "fair enough" and took the next chair. Later on one of my friends told me she had said "I love making her mad, watch this" and she was disappointed that I didn't really do anything.

musturde Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 whenever he tries telling Catholic Jokes, bring up REALLY Corny jokes. For example, what's blue and flies... A fly wearing blue jeans. What's red and goes up and down? a tomato on an elevator What's the difference between a big car and a small car? One's big and the others small. Make sure you act like your REALLLY enjoying it, and keep telling them (make sure u get really annoying and follow him around if he tries running away) he should lay off you for a day or so.

[/quote] :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: That is hilarious. I don't know why, but it is! In addition to the following suggestions, you can also pretend you're asleep, or just do and say something so incredibly randomly strange. Ask him if midget bowlers eat snails. One time I was in an argument online, and this person wouldn't drop it and I ended up saying some odd random thing and they were like 'What was that? That was kinda wierd. What did you mean by that? That was wierd." It is an interesting way to end a confrontation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 [quote]It's politics are like the death penalty: "Hey, you killed that guy. Killing is very wrong. We're going to prove that to you by killing you." You'd be no better than the one doing the annoying if you annoyed him back. [/quote] I disagree with the straw man presentation of the death penalty, which is actually used to defend society from a dangerous person. It's also administered (ideally) for murder, not mere killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
