I've got a good irker right now. It's when people (primarily family members) play a game with me by ignoring me when I ask nicely for what I need. No matter how many times I do ask nicely, nothing happens until I get mad. Then they're all like, "Calm down. I have all these other things to do, and I couldn't get to it or I didn't hear you until just now. I was just about to do what you asked. You don't have to be so nasty about it. You have such a temper."

Yeah, that's right. Always make me look like the evil one. Never admit you deliberately pushed my buttons.

And that's something I've noticed about people, as relates to me. Even the nicest people, in the best circumstances, wait at least until I've asked twice before they notice me. I can never ask nicely, just once, and get what I need. How do OTHER people get respected?
