It drives me insane when I'm trying to explain why something how something is when someone asks me, and my roommate contradicts EVERYTHING I say. Anyone have this problem with someone in their life?

1. Same Here.
I know what you mean. Some people can't keep their views or opinions to themselves.

2. My sister in law-The princess of quite a lot
on her multi-million dollar throne. You have troubles? She can 5 up you in a heartbeat. You have a cold you say? Well she's got double pneumonia and is speaking to you from an iron lung while awaiting a transplant.

9. Oh yeah,
but you've got to become really good at talking right through her, using body language to shut her out, that kind of thing. Duct tape is also an option.

10. My sister
I always wonder what version of the story I'm getting. (everyone gets a different one)

I'm sick of liars, though I'd classify her as one of those who change facts in order to suit themselves and then start to believe it.

16. A co-worker. A loud, "close talker".
Very rude.You'll be conversing with someone else and she'll barge in, get in your face and interrupt loudly. Even when I'm on the phone with a doctor or family member she'll walk up and yap at you disregarding any other converstaion you might me engaged in.
She has terrible halitosis too.

17. I know what you mean
I've got this kid here who never knows what he's talking about, but I'm the ignorant one. No manners, no politeness. Drives me up the wall.

I'm sorry, but being an asshole is not the same as being a "free-thinker."

I also hate people who contradict you when you are right about something. Say, a celebrity who has died.

"He's not dead." I was unaware you had such an intimate knowledge of his breathing whilst buried.

I get told I'm wrong a lot about facts that are verifiable in my favor. It really cheeses me off.

21. I work with a guy who has to top everything
If you mention you have a headache, he has one too, but his is worse. If you mention you found a great deal on some item, then he did too, but a better deal. You name it, he did it first and better, or suffered from it first and worse. :grr: He drives me crazy.
