- frozenpxl, on 08/28/2008, -8/+116If someone is being difficult, I tell them that I will punch them in the face if they continue to be. Then if they do indeed continue, I punch them in the face.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -4/+100Punch yourself in the face first, it usually does the trick and is less likely to involve a fight. No one wants to mess with a person crazy enough to punch themselves in the face, no one.
- slieberman, on 08/28/2008, -1/+83Ok, so I read the whole thing...now how exactly do I deal with my mother???
- StigNordas, on 08/28/2008, -0/+32I think #3 is the most accurate, "Does it really matter if I am right?” Sometimes people carry arguments on far too long to simply receive acknowledgment that they are right.
It takes much more effort and self control to accept that a) you might be wrong, and b) you should be a little more concerned about yourself and not what the other person thinks of you. - kimcheefreak17, on 08/28/2008, -0/+31Who the ***** is Tina?
- Ajajadude, on 08/28/2008, -0/+28So, you know Tina? Is she hot?
- SauceSpot, on 08/28/2008, -1/+26woohoo another spam comment account
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+25Edit: How to deal with people on Digg
- ousthouse, on 08/28/2008, -2/+25didn't work for phyllis.
- smurfsahoy, on 08/28/2008, -1/+22dugg for completely unnecessary peppy upbeat-ness :)
- hiddencatch, on 08/28/2008, -0/+21from what I've gathered, large portion of Scientology is "dealing with difficult people".
bet they got some great advice...
perhaps instead of getting upset with a negative person, one should just smile, walk away, and then anonymously report that person as a pedophile - cocoabear, on 08/28/2008, -1/+21Arrange for Billy Crystal to throw her off a train
- wiseasgandalf, on 08/28/2008, -7/+24Do you think you will deal with a difficult person today or tomorrow? Yea, me too! Some helpful thoughts to consider here.

And it also has the benefit of working on crazy, irrational, and violent people as well! - jaromdl, on 08/28/2008, -0/+151.) Get an iPod. (Helps ignore them while making that person satisfyingly upset)
2.) Fake a seizure. (It might scare them, or make them feel bad)
3.) Practical jokes always work in movies. (e.g., Laxatives + sedatives in a cake so they poo all over themselves while they are sleeping)
4.) Buy a dog and train it to bark aggressively whenever that person talks or comes near.
I'm out of ideas. - GordonV, on 08/28/2008, -1/+15Haha, I like that one.

8. Choose to Eliminate Negative People In Your Life
that's what i do with negative people, just kill them. - thealsir, on 08/28/2008, -0/+13Fight club is almost instructional these days.
- eeevildictator, on 08/28/2008, -0/+12Or even just onto a train. Into works best, however.
- kwol, on 08/28/2008, -0/+11Move out of her house...
- m0zzie, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9you don't.. just send her to me. giggity giggity!
- GordonV, on 08/28/2008, -1/+10Whoa, this article gets down into the deep of it. Unfortunately, some of the people that make me angry are the family I live with. In some way however, I'm sure I am angering them also. I'll observe and try to find what causes the dark ying yang effects and try to neutralize it. This is the power of human intellect right?
- Airjuggernaut, on 08/28/2008, -1/+10Yeah...because we've never seen that on a shirt before...
- sweetbean, on 08/28/2008, -0/+9I love it when someone difficult starts to turn up the volume and gets all huffy an puffy and then you tell them to "Relax" and they quickly get more agitated and roar something like, "DON'T ******* TELL ME TO RELAX!"
Exactly. - Namingway, on 08/28/2008, -3/+12The problem isn't usually with the person or situation but often with you. Check out the 321 shadow practice, it is an amazing approach to modern day physiology.
http://wordpress.com/tag/321-process/ - chuckDontSurf, on 08/28/2008, -0/+8***** you.
Nah, I'm just joking, you're alright kid.
/Flexo - deltron, on 08/28/2008, -3/+10Good for anyone working in retail.
Oh, and the image in the article explains it all, don't even bother reading: http://thinksimplenow.com/foto/2008/08/difficult-p ... - roodammy44, on 08/28/2008, -4/+10They're not helpful, they're full of *****:
#1 Forgive :
This is good for yourself, but bad for society. You can't forgive everything, otherwise the people who do bad things would be free to do them to everyone.
#3 Does it really matter if I am right?
Sometimes, yes it really really does matter. Like if someone is arguing to vote for a presidential candidate who plunges the country into a pointless war and economic depression
#4 Don’t Respond
This doesn't work. When it's face to face, this is likely to lead to much more abuse
#5 Stop Talking About It
Don't talk about the stuff that bothers us? Does that really make anyone feel better?
#8 Choose to Eliminate Negative People In Your Life
So whenever someone suffers a bout of depression, you get rid of them? And we should all give up on the terminally depressed? This advice is so retarded that it's criminal. - scy1192, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6FTA- 4. Don’t Respond
Easier said than done. They'll just find something that annoys you even more. - Stupidumb, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6That works perfectly with:
"8. Choose to Eliminate Negative People In Your Life" - SubjectiveC, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6I beat them senselessly with my rugged manliness.
- ptFoe, on 08/28/2008, -2/+6kick 'em in the groin
- seannj30, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4Was this on The Office?
- Ajajadude, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4I wish punching difficult people in the face was legal. Hell, I wish I could do that at work and not worry about being fired.
- Nubli, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4 Luckily the difficult people I have to deal with work for me. They can yell and argue with me all day, but in the end, I'm still right.
- rodriguex, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4Phyllis should have tried this with Angela.
- LeftOffTheArk, on 08/28/2008, -0/+4Honestly, I enjoy reading anything that tries to give insight on social interaction, but this list is pretty basic. It basically says don't lose control and don't confront someone. So not arguing, maybe even complimenting them makes them more agreeable? Who would have thought. Sorry, but buried for lack of content.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3"become the observer and pour some honey"… Brilliant wording!
- smurfsahoy, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4Yeah, I know. But that works a lot better with memes, or jokes from earlier in the comments section of the same article, earlier in the conversation, etc. - so that everybody knows what's going on. When you pick up something obscure, though, and then throw it out as a new joke without making any hint that it isn't original, then it just seems skeezy.
And arguing is oodles of fun! I don't think this is the kind of thing they're talking about in the article. It's mean-spirited arguing, like about money issues, or relationship troubles, perceived disrespectfulness, or things in general that people are really invested in, not idle commentary on blogs. - chubbybubba, on 08/28/2008, -2/+5Dealing with difficult people is something most men have no trouble dealing with (from my experience). Great thing about most guys is that if they cant take your crap, they'll say it right to your face. Sometimes it comes to blows, sometimes someone gets fired, and usually always someones feelings get hurt. But, when the dust settles and the confrontation is over, things are better and its back to business.
- BILLCOLLECTORC, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3you have to be female if it takes you 2 freaking days to cool off
- Yatata, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3read some eckhart tolle, you'll be so glad you did.
- bdfariello, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3@eevildictator: Seems you never saw this movie:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094142/ - crazzy88ss, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3Yet not learned the english?
- BILLCOLLECTORC, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3phooey, kick his butt!
- ansatsu29, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3I just have an office argument 2 days ago. My officemate suddenly approached me and told me all the nastiest stuff that he can say. Luckily, I didnt responded to it. Although, it really looked ugly and I was embarrased in front of my other office mates.
It takes guts and nerves of steel to not respond to that kind of situation. The only thought that goes to my head is that "somebody will get fired so I better shut up" - BILLCOLLECTORC, on 08/28/2008, -0/+3I AGREE
- Chainheart2, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waz942XMXrM
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -1/+4So how, exactly, will I live in her basement smartypants?

It's "Dalai" Lama, not "Dali" Lama. -
