Everytime one of my friends gets pissed off, he blows up at me and starts making personal attacks even though I was never part of his original problem

and I'm getting really sick of it. He always apologizes the next day or whenever he feels better, but it incrementally irks me that he says that stuff in the first place. He wouldn't say it if he didn't think it, right?

Sounds like his apologies are just "I'm sorry... until the next time I do exactly the same thing." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 27, 22:02

- yes and you heard it first which is much better than hearing it again in the ER or interview room of a police station -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 21:29 2
  - I've been friends with this guy since we could walk. He's just been majorly difficult lately -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 27, 21:45 1
    - Then keep him on your xmas card list but otherwise at arms length - zeitgeist Oct 27, 22:37
