Irritating people

annuinSome people just have this way of irritating me. It's not even anything they do to me personally, nor is it even someone I know in real life, but sometimes you just get these people that rub you the wrong way. Just seeing the nickname in channel is enough to annoy me, but it's the behaviour of said person that really kicks it into overdrive, to the point that sometimes I feel the innate desire to want to stomp on their head, as horribly juvenile as that sounds, and is.
I can defend this uncharitable desire by stating that the person in question isn't particularly nice, is an attention whore who is generally consumed by their own self-importance, is patronising, is condescending, and you get the idea. I've seen this person cut off debates that they weren't winning by flatly stating that they don't want to talk about it anymore, or state a very rude or callous opinion or generalisation and then flatly state that they don't want to discuss it. I've seen this person leave in the midst of serious or personal conversations with people, just out of the blue and almost mid-sentence, to leave the other party fairly flabberghasted. I've seen this person cut off people who are troubled and distressed and are sharing their issues with others in order to glean advice, because that person just didn't want to hear it anymore. I've seen this person start whining or pouting or some other equivalent if hellos aren't said soon enough after entry in channel, or if people don't notice their presence or what they've just said adequately. Basically a rude self-absorbed git. Of course this in no way diminishes the fact that what I want to do is uncharitable.
But fuck it.
