When you are annoyed with a person, do you tell them?

Question

When you are annoyed with a person, do you tell them?

Answer 1

it should. the challenge lies in putting it across in non attacking manner.

Answer 2

if it's worth it.

with some people you really have to choose your battles.  

put yourself in their shoes, too.  if you were them and someone was annoyed with you the way you are now- would you want that person to tell you or keep it to themself?

i think it also depends on the person personality, if they take things like that well or fly off the handle, and also how close you are to the person.

Answer 3

It all depends on how annoyed I am with the person.  If it's over something petty I try and forget about it.

Answer 4

It depends on why I'm annoyed. If it's something that is a bad behavior pattern that they might be able to change, I might tell them...if I care about them. If it's just how they are and there is no way they'll change, I take a break from them for a bit and get over it.

Answer 5

if it's my partner yes! a friend yes!

A co worker no!

i just ignore them!

Answer 6

Probably not..

Answer 7

depends who it is- my daughter- yes! everyone else- I just ignore them until I am no longer annoyed- but this can take years!

Answer 8

I tell them to shut the f up or yell at them. punch them in the face

Answer 9

i usually avoid telling them trying to get over it on my own.....but if they bring me to exhasperation,i confront them.but that happens very rarely,i usually never tell them and just keep quiet and mind my own business and try to ignore them as much as possible.

Answer 10

It depends. Minor annoyances no. Annoyances that carry over, yes. I don't like being upset with people.

Answer 11

Yup. A few weeks ago, my aunt came to visit me, and she thought that it was so funny that there were so many Dunkin Donuts locations everywhere we went. Finally, I turned to her and said, "You know, that wasn't all that funny the first time." She wasn't happy, but I never heard about the donuts again...

Answer 12

yeah i staight up say their annoying and usally walk away :D

Answer 13

sometimes - sometimes not.  If it's pointless and more work than it's worth, I keep it to myself.  If I think they'll actually listen and that we could have meaningful dialogue, then I'll speak up.  Usually, I just keep it in perspective as best I can and go on.....
