You might be driving me crazy

I'm exhausted this week. You probably aren't driving me crazy, but you might be if you...

... said something was impossible when we both know you just didn't want to do it.

... did something you agreed not to do, and then acted surprised that I was upset about it. When I said "Please don't do X any more", I meant ever.

... aren't listening. I have better things to do than talk to you if you're not going to listen.

... asked me the same question repeatedly. I heard your question the first time, and I answered it. I'm not going to change my response just because you asked again 10 seconds later. Please leave me alone.

... acted like a crazed maniac when I tried to do something nice for you. If I buy you a cup of coffee, it's because I want to and I can afford to. You don't have to make a huge deal out of it and then sneak $2 into my purse when I'm not looking.

... are talking and don't really have anything to say. Why should I suffer just because you're uncomfortable with silence?

... are making a ton of noise while I'm trying to work. My work requires concentration. Shut up.

... came to work sick. It's not a big deal for us to work from home. Get your sick germs out of here.

... insisted that the dancing on 'Dancing with the Stars' is good. I respect dancers for their dedication, athleticism, and artistic talent. To say that some D-list celebrity is a legitimate dancer is just insulting to real dancers.

... took something of mine without asking and didn't return it. I bought that because I needed it.

... said you were going to do something, and didn't do it. Why did you even commit to it in the first place?

... said you were going to do something, and then did a shitty job on it. I would have rather done it myself.

... did something that resulted in me having to spend a bunch of money. I don't like it when my own stupidity costs me money; I definitely don't want to have to pay for other peoples' stupidity.

... acted like your lack of planning constituted an emergency on my part. If you didn't plan ahead, you're the one with the problem.
