You need to document this stuff here for our amusement. i imagine that my brain turns off a little to deal with it. like when they ask POW's how they survived.. they answer that they learned how to turn off the pain, to go somewhere else in their brain, to imagine better times. when, every day, before your computer boots up you can count on someone trying to "scare" you by jumping in to your cube, waving their hands, pounding on your desk or rattling their keys... then excitedly pointing their fingers in your face and flailing their arms while "talking" at you as they lean in so their face is within 1 foot of yours... you either snap and do something drastic... or you learn to tune out until its over. i'm not fully awake right away at the office. it's not until his 3rd stop at my office (usually between 8:05 - 8:10) until i'm aware and engaged and able to effectively fend him off. trick here that i haven't figured out: if'n i stare blankly and listen.. the antics and volume only amp up. if'n i engage, even by trying to shut it down, then i'm feeding the beast and it only continues longer. i think he sniffs coke before stepping in and takes it out on me to break the awkwardness of how obvious it is eta: Glen. he's Glen from Raising Arizona. only with a lot more hand waving and over the top guffawing. plus crotch grabbing.

I use the same behavioral techniques on my wife that I do on my daughter. When she's talking I pretend listen thoughtfully, tilting my head to the side, nodding, and telling her "I understand". I then tell her what I need to say very calmly, repeating it over and over without raising my voice until she finally calms down and does what I suggested. Women, like children, like to argue because it means they won - whether or not they get their way in the end. Harder to do with what you believe to be a full grown adult so I often respond in the ways you described. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
