Get Your Toilet Paper Ready

'Cause it's about to get shitty. I'm paraphrasing the words of a wise man. Those who know me understand that I don't have a bad temper. I'm not a fighter. I won't get in arguments with anyone publicly and will rarely do so privately. When someone gets on my nerves, I generally try to avoid them and things usually turn out OK. But what happens when people close to you get on your nerves and annoy the hell out of you?

This is my dilemma. There are people very close to me or in circles close to me that are pushing my limits. I'm seeing that there are times where you can't just walk away. Generally speaking, I feel I'm a pretty nice dude. With that said, once the niceness goes, then I go to straight into asshole mode. For me, this is a way I can express my frustration most effectively. Is there a middle ground or a more diplomatic way about going things? Probably. Unfortunately, I haven't had the patience or desire to make such an effort. Shame on me.
