How do you deal with people who irritate you. There are instances that you have to put up with people whom you dont like at all. I come across a few and find it very difficult, but try to have a smiling face. What do you do?

It would depend on situation to situation. If the person who is irriating me is my family member or a close friend then I would say directly to him or her. If the person is an acquaintance and have a professional relationship with my self or my family then, I will pretend to listen. I would always keep a smile and would remove myself from that place as quickly as possible. If the other person is the seller and I am the buyer and if he irriates me then I would try to say it politely to him . Inspite of this if he keeps irritaiond me then I would ask him to just go away and shout at time.

It depends on who the person is but as a general rule I try to avoid irritating people as much as possible and if for some reason I cannot ignore them, then the best place is to go to the Ladies Room. LOL

I think we have all been in this situation. The people who irritate me are friends of my husbands. they visit us once in a while and the wife irritates me, I just try to find something I like about her and focus on that. If you are in a gathering of people just politely excuse yourself and find someone else to spend time with. I to think it is better to smile and go on rather than feel guilty later for something that I said.

either dont be around that situation, but if u have to be, be polite, nothing is gained by being rude, it will bring you to there level. what i do is except them for who they are, not everyone is normal like me.{ha ha} u may annoy them as much as they annoy you.

It depends if the person is the type who is allway trying to get under your skin or just like being irritable. I usually ignore them as the feed on ones complaint back to them. At work the people who irritate me I try and find something about them That I can laugh about their stupidy (in my mind) and really not much really irritates me for long I just change my thoughts in my mind and zap no problem... A long time ago it did bother me .... then I thought what in that person or why I got irritated and made my mind able to shift thoughts to better things.

It depends on the situation ... If I am a customer and the person who is supposed to help me irritates me I can really get annoyed and will speak up ..If its a co-worker I will try to ignore it
