Is there something consistently irritating about you?

[TheMercenary]

Well for me, according to my wife, I am to abrupt with my opinons in conversation. Yea, little ole me, go figure, none of you would have believed that. If it is a hot topic that pisses me off I am even worse. I don't mean to hurt peoples feelings but it just comes out. Sometimes I step on my dick when I do it and when I realize it I am truely embarssed. The problem is most of the time I don't realize it or I just don't care what other people think about my comment. I am really a compasionate person and will give most people the benifit of the doubt, to a fault. But if someone asks me an opinion about something I tell them what I think. I use to get high marks for it when I was on Active Duty and people respected me for it. Now that I don't have to be so PC, not that I really was while on AD, anymore I don't . It could be I am over compensating for times when I really wanted to say something that would not go over well and couldn't. I don't know. Often I use sarcasm and most people don't get it or think I am being serious when in fact I mean just the opposit of what I said. I do it on-line as in real life. When people don't get it, I drop it and leave them hanging, never telling them if I am serious or not.

For my wife, she likes to repeat herself. Tell me the same story she just told me yesterday, with all the detail, instead of just referring back to it without the detail. I still love her and just put up with it.
