Wow, sounds like my boyfriend...

Let me think about how I handle that - I use so many different techniques - not all of which are very effective, but most do confound him enough to make him stop (until, of course, the next issue comes up...)

My favourite for sure, is the "I'm really enjoying the spectacle you are making of yourself" look!

Actually, that one works on me, too, when I go into type "A" behaviour!
